Description
[Houdini, Harry] Attorney’s Letter to Houdini Regarding Possible Libel. On letterhead of J.B. Roberts & Co., Solicitors, the TLS refers directly to an article in the November 1906 issue of The Magician Monthly written by Philip Levard exposing the handcuff escapes of Houdini. The attorney states, in part, “there can be no doubt that it is serious libel on you” and “if necessary commence an action we shall be glad to carry out your instructions.” One 4to page, old folds visible and signature somewhat faded. Houdini went to great lengths to quash his imitators and protect his handcuff act. Interestingly, the editor of The Magician, the journal in which the article appeared, was Will Goldston, a close friend of Houdini.
