Recently I found a remarkable article written by Houdini in the May 11, 1923 issue of The Vaudeville News. In it he discusses some of the "long jumps" he's made throughout his career. A "jump" refers to the distance traveled between bookings.
On my last visit to the Magic Castle, I was excited to see a new addition to their dining room. Framed on the wall is a huge new portrait poster of David Copperfield styled after Houdini's famous 1911 Strobridge lithograph.
I promise I'm not going to relentlessly tease the upcoming Houdini diary book, especially as we don't even have a release date yet. But, dang-it, some days I'm just too exciting to not share!
