Houdini’s Personal Effects Scrapbook

That’s a photo of some pages from a Houdini scrapbook that belonged to Quincy Kilby, who was a friend to Harry Houdini.  

The scrapbook has personal items that belonged to Houdini such as his show requirements (nothing like bowls of just green M&Ms, but still very interesting), an escape challenge letter (which Houdini accepted and was successful in) plus a lot more.

The Houdini Scrapbook is now owned by The Boston Public Library, but you can see more pages and read about it over at Buzzfeed.

Thanks and a tip o’ the magician’s top hat to Bill Crider.
