HOUDINI, Harry (Erik Weisz, 1874 – 1926). Candid Photograph of Houdini on a Diving Board. Circa 1920. Houdini poses in a bathing suit with a crowd gathered around him, some also in bathing costumes. Houdini stands on the end of a diving board. 3 ½ x 2 3/8". Near fine; likely an unpublished image taken before (or after) an underwater escape stunt, or captured on a movie set in California. Houdini would occasionally jump into a pool while shackled by a heavy iron ball-and-chain arrangement before making his escape. Kevin Connolly Collection.
