CURRENT RECORD:

The Final Houdini Seance record, from Hudson Record Co., 1959. George Boston narrates the album. Heard on it are the voices of Beatrice Houdini, and Edward Saint. The final seance took place on the roof of Kickerbocker Hotel, in Los Angeles, on Halloween night, October 31, 1936, ten years after the death of Houdini.

There are two items pasted on the album cover. On the top center is an original newspaper clipping from 1926, noting the death of Houdini. It is not a reproduction or facsimile copy. On the lower left is a clipped note with the following text:

"To John
Houdini's Slogan
"My brain is the key that sets me free"
Best Wishes
Beatrice Houdini"

I think that this may be an actual autograph for Houdini's wife. It is odd that it is trimmed so unevenly. I have looked carefully at it with a magnifying glass. It appears to be signed in ink on light pink paper, such as you sill find in autograph books. If original, the former owner may have cut it out of the autograph book and pasted it on the album cover. Since the newspaper clipping on top is an original, then this also may be an original. I would ask Houdini collectors to look at this and email me their thoughts on this item that might be an original autograph.
