$3,350.00
Guaranteed Authentic
World famous magician and legendary escape artist HARRY HOUDINI short, trimmed, typewritten letter on his personal letterhead signed and dated May 9, 1924 from New York requesting contact information on "the whereabouts of a Mrs. Van Zandt" and indicating his interest in "getting some information". Houdini signs below. Mrs. Van Zandt's address is written on verso in pencil in unknown, possibly secretarial hand.
By 1924, the 50-year old Houdini had shifted his career away from traditional magic to focus heavily on an aggressive, cross-country crusade to expose fraudulent spiritualists and mediums. Less than two years later, Houdini himself would be dead, vowing that if communication with the afterlife was real, he would send a coded message to his wife – no message was ever received.
The Houdini signed letter has been thoroughly reviewed and CERTIFIED AUTHENTIC BY PSA/DNA EXPERT EXAMINATION and encapsulated inside PSA/DNA's sonically-sealed, tamper-evident holder. UNCONDITIONALLY GUARANTEED GENUINE.
