Houdini’s Voice Recorded 100 years ago today
100 years ago today, a recording of Harry Houdini introducing his famous Water Torture Cell was made using a Thomas Edison wax cylinder, the earliest commercial medium for recording and reproducing sound. David Copperfield now owns the cylinder. Houdini, Edison and Copperfield – three of the biggest influences in my life combined in one story. Pretty cool. #magic #innovation
