CREATED/PUBLISHED
1908 April 30.
NOTES
Master of the "Impossible Possible," Houdini
performs one of his stunning manacled jumps from Harvard
Bridge, followed by an under-water escape in the Charles
River. As with his upside-down straitjacket escapes,
Houdini's jumps drew huge crowds and publicized his
stage appearances. In 1908, he appeared in Boston
for two weeks at Keith's theater, a major venue on
the Keith Vaudeville Circuit.
