HOUDINI (Erik Weisz, 1874 ? 1926). Houdini Lettergram and Carbon. Dated Marc 1, 1926, Houdini writes to fellow magician Carl Lohery of Cleveland, granting him permission to use his lettergram design, ??as long as you give me credit for same. Several have used it and several have claimed to be the originators of it, but I have made use of it for 26 years." He goes on, ?Had an enormous business in Washington, not so good in York, and am going to have a sell-out here [Chicago]." Matted and framed with an unaccomplished Houdini lettergram bearing two images of the famous magician. Overall size 22 ? x 18 ?".
