HOUDINI, Harry (Ehrich Weisz). Houdini East Indian Needle Trick Packet. Being an unused packet of two-dozen T. Hessin & Co. Darner?s nickel plated needles, one of the brands used by Houdini for his famed and often-performed feat of swallowing the needles and a length of thread, and then regurgitating both ? with the needles strung neatly on the cord. Obtained by the consignor from Larry Weeks, who procured the needles from the Houdini family. With a LOA tracing the ownership of the needles. An identical packet of needles is held by Houdini?s descendants, with a supporting ANS confirming their provenance written by Houdini?s niece, Ruth Kavanaugh.
