Item Details

Description

Houdini, Harry. Four Water Torture Cell Hinges and Clasps Used by Houdini. Circa 1912. Sturdy brass hinges fit over matching clasps and allow for a lock to be hung to seal the famous water-filled cell from which Houdini escaped nightly in his vaudeville show. The hinges have been cleverly constructed to allow for an easy escape despite the locks securing them being completely ordinary and free from guile. Accompanied by an early letter of authentication from one Christine Duncan (1939), attesting that her husband made lock picks for Houdini. The hinges are housed in a small wooden box. Sold together with an audio cassette of one Willis Delano relating information about the hinges.
