23 Houdini Story

There were times when I used to wear a mustache, and there were times when I didn't. I got tired of wearing it, and I would take it off, because if I didn't have a mustache, people didn't bother me in the street.

One night I went to the Winter Garden, and Houdini was appearing there, and I was sans mustache. That means without. You've got to watch yourself in the Winter Garden. Anyway, I'm sitting in the second row, and Houdini is now doing a trick.

He would take some needles and put them in his mouth, and a spooler thread, and then he would thread the needles. Though he asked for a volunteer out of the audience. Who do you think went up in the stage?

When he opened his mouth wide, I want to prove that there's no trickery to this trick. What are you saying there? And I said, pi rail. And back to stage.
