HOUDINI, Harry (Erik Weisz, 1874 ? 1926). Signed Magicians? Club Dinner Program. [London], 1920. Attractive folding program and menu printed on stiff cardstock, issued for a presentation to Houdini, the President of the organization, at London?s Savoy Hotel on Feb. 8, 1920. 6 ? x 4 ?? folded size. Old magazine photos pasted to rear panel. SIGNED in ink and pencil by many of the attendees, including Houdini, David Devant (in a very shaky hand), Arthur Prince, Joe Hayman, Harry Day, Hermalin, Will Goldston, G.W. Hunter, Chris Van Bern, and Maurice Raymond. A choice gathering of autographs.Though Houdini served as President of the Magicians? Club for years, the chairman of this event was Maurice Raymond, a fellow American magician with whom Houdini frequently battled. Raymond was one of many magicians who presented escape stunts as part of his show, a fact Houdini was none too happy with. Joe Hayman, one of the other signers of this program, was an early friend and co-star of Houdini?s who went on to success as a vaudeville comedian. Hayman?s brother was instrumental in Houdini?s early days. Harry Day was a British theatrical impresario who managed Houdini in the early years of the twentieth century during his initial rise to fame.
