Barrymore Film Center adds Houdini to their Walk o.Talking Houdini (and lasagna) on All Access Magic.These acts made him the highest-paid performer in US shows. ALL the Houdini wax cylinder audio has been saved. Harry Houdini started earning recognition in 1899 when he performed the handcuffs act, escaping from prisons, at the best vaudeville venues, arranged by entertainment manager Martin Beck.I'm surprised that in all the time you've been working on this you've never come across any enterprising students who'd be interested in creating a similar device for wax cylinders, and thus avoid the risk of damaging the medium. But it did have the advantage that the signal could be extracted from an LP without anything making physical contact with the LP, and thus avoid the danger of damaging the medium on which the waveform was recorded. It wasn't a saleable product because by that time CDs were taking over from LPs. This headline could have easily read, 'The Houdini wax cylinders are no more.'" As far back as the mid-1980s, I remember some enterprising grad students worked on a way use laser light to read the waveform from the height of the plastic in the canyons of the grooves of LP records. Harry Houdini wanted so badly to join the US Army during WW1, but at the time they said he was too old and Houdini came up with an idea, he would teach our boys how to escape handcuffs should they ever have them locked up on their own wrists.
You wrote, "David didn't need to do this. For Sale: ANTIQUE 1904 MATTATUCK HANDCUFFS - HOUDINI SECRET 200.00. This is an astounding achievement! Congratulations! And I hope you'll eventually post the audio on a website, so we can all hear it.īut there is something I do wonder about.
