Beer defeats Houdini
Behold the power of beer, on this interesting page about Houdini. Seems the non-drinking Houdini tried one of his standard tricks, getting locked in a milk can filled with water, and used beer instead.
He had to be rescued.
Mrs. Shears and I just watched Houdini last night, the innaccurate but-touches-on-all-the-main-points, less-than-completely-engaging movie about the performer’s life starring Jamie Lee Curtis’s mom and dad. A movie bio that had to be made. It could easily be made again.
