Houdini would dispel the notion that he was accomplishing feats using the supernatural while directly contradicting his own words. "Although there is nothing supernatural about it, I claim that it is absolutely impossible..." This incongruity is where fantasy is made.

"Conjurors, as a rule, write their names in water." - Harry Houdini

Very interesting to read that some magicians were angry at Alexander, The Man Who Knows because he would expose some methods on the back of his programme in what we would call cancelling solutions today. So much so that the S.A.M. had a meeting about it in 1919 or so...

In 1919 the noun Houdini and verb Houdinize entered the Standard Dictionary.

Wow! Malini, Charles T. Jordan and Alexander, The Man Who Knows all spoke at an SAM meeting in April or May, 1920 in San Francisco.

See everything, overlook a great deal, correct only a little.
