Authenticity is Everything

Master Mystifyier HOUDINI SIGNING AUTOGRAPHS FROM THE DEAD !!!

I thought this might perhaps bring a smile.....

Up now on eBay is a "signed" photograph of the legendary magician and escape artist Harry Houdini. It's a nice later in life image of him from the mid-1920's. The Houdini inscription, in what appears to be a fine felt tip (1st clue), is a big bold one and signed "Houdini".

The date added in Houdini's hand is Nov. 16 - 26.

The intriguing fact here is that Houdini had died in Detroit while on tour on Oct. 31 - 26 .. .over two weeks prior to his "signing" this photo.

A unique and astounding piece of Houdiniana!

p.s. There are currently 22 watchers on it.

Reminds me of the 1988 biography of Richard Burton which he managed to sign despite being dead for 4 years...

The seller states that the date signed is March 16, 1926. The signature looks to have been redrawn by someone and perhaps the entire personalization is redone.
