wytchcroft: heavent sent (zap!)


Among other things, October is the anniversary of Houdini's death which was actually on Halloween ...

Here is a picture of his famous Upside Down Trick - which wikipedia claims is still a mystery...



Well - i have a pretty good idea how it was done and i wonder if anyone else here has interesting theories of their own?

Houdini has of course had a huge impact down the years on popular culture and those within it,
(take a look at the list on that wiki entry - it's enormous!)  from David Blaine to Robbie Williams to Kristin Hersh. 
Her song Houdini Blues and video for Your Ghost can be compared to Kate Bush's song Houdini -
both seem to take escapology as a metaphor and seize on the idea of a key hidden in the mouth or passed by a kiss.... a symbol maybe... as if a gnosis of some sort could be delivered vocally by the artist.



On a more superficial level, escapology can be fun!!... but don't try it at home!
