Today, I share from my personal collection, Irvin’s S. Cobb book, Incredible Truth, published in 1931.

It contains a chapter, The Original Houdini Tells His Tale, which is actually a reprint of his 1925 article titled, Houdini Not First Handcuff King by Irvin S. Cobb

Is this Houdini in his past life?

Our good friend, John Cox, at WildAboutHoudini did a post on this in 2012. Click on the link above to check it out.
