Description

"Secure Knots, Secures Not Houdini"

Interesting and bold AQS on a beige 5 x 4.25 album page, in full: "Jan 28/1925, 3.33 PM, Hippodrome, N.Y., Secure Knots, Secures Not Houdini, The Original." In fine condition, with light show-through from an unidentified signature on the reverse. Famed for his skill as an escape artist, this is a fantastic example of Houdini's autograph. That he signed it at the Hippodrome is also significant, as this was the venue where he debuted his 'vanishing elephant' trick in 1918.
