If you like magic history, you may enjoy this. I just posted on my blog the possible first meeting of Houdini and Tommy Downs. Here is the link:

In Houdini--the Key, I have a quote from Downs indicating that he tried the challenge handcuff act before Houdini took it up.
I believe he said this was in his first year as a performer--which is right around the time of this program. |
