Abracadabra

This news has already gone out to many, but it is worth noting that today I was at the Brown special collections library, looking over a book called Hocus Pocus Junior, The Anatomie of Legerdemain Originally printed in 1634, it is considered one of the most influential books in the field of magic. This was a second edition copy.

The title page is signed "Harry Houdini, London, Jan 4/1904, The Jail Breaker."
