Your Weekend Holiday – National Magic Day
Not only is today Halloween, but it’s also National Magic Day in honor of Harry Houdini, the world’s greatest escape artist, who died on this day in 1926.
Kristin Hersh – Houdini Blues
Some say Houdini’s first great escape was as a tiny sperm, when he broke-out of his father’s condom. His second great escape was from his mother’s womb.
Houdini has yet to accomplish his greatest feat however, that being an escape from his coffin.
