HOUDINI SPOON



From 1907 through 1910, Harry "handcuff" Houdini was the highest paid vaudeville performer in the United States.
He was particularly well known for performing amazing escapes from handcuffs, ropes, chains, sealed boxes and a wide
variety of other apparatuses. His magic acts still thrill modern audiences.  He performed both on-stage and in public venues.
