Houdini in L.A. In His Own Words Part2

More from the article that Houdini wrote in the Sept 29th, 1907 edition of the Los Angeles Herald. Part 3, tomorrow.

Houdini in L.A. In His Own Words Part1

Here is something very interesting. The first thing to catch my eye of course was the half page graphic with photos. But then I looked over and noticed that the article about Houdini was written by him! Not sure if this has appeared in print anywhere before. Rather than transcribe it, I'm going to give you the actual newspaper to read, but in parts, as it's a lengthy article. The date is Sept 29th, 1907 and this was from the Los Angeles Herald, which is no longer in business.

Christmas Wishes

"I heard him exclaim as he drove out of site, 

Happy Christmas to All, 

and to All a Good Night!"

I hope you all have had an enjoyable time reading my blog in 2011. It's been a lot of fun writing and researching the various articles. I have had the good fortune of meeting lots of fellow magic history fans along the way. I'm always glad to hear from folks, so anytime you want to drop me an email please do.

The Carnegie: Magic Detective Blog will be taking a short break from now until the first of the year. However, there is a 4 Part Article that was written by HOUDINI in 1907, which will appear here next week starting on Monday. Not sure if it appeared in print anywhere else, though it's possible.

Thanks for reading my blog and special thank you for making December 2011 the BEST month for my blog since it started! I'll see you all Next Year! (with some very special surprises)
