Gone to Hawaii

HHCE will be taking a break for 3 weeks.

So will wish Houdini a Happy Birthday one day early from his actual birthday March 24th in Budapest Hungary and 2 weeks early from his celebrated birthday April 6th in Appleton, Wisconsin.

Today, we leave on a cruise to the Hawaiian Islands to celebrate spouse birthday and her retirement.

So did Houdini ever visit Hawaii? Is the palm tree pic above, Hawaii?

Thanks to John Cox post with Honolulu 1910 photograph, we know he did visit Hawaii (May 24/25) during his return from Australia in 1910. And it’s possible the palm tree pic could be the Houdinis in Hawaii since Bess’s hat/dress and Houdini’s hat/suit match John’s Honululu 1910 photo.

  1. I love this photo! Harry turned that palm tree into a prop for his dashing picture. The man knew how to pose for photos. A veteran of the camera.
