An early printed broadside, unsigned, one page, 8.25 x 11, no date but circa 1900. Houdini issues a challenge to the public at large, in part: “I offer $100.00 to any human being living that can escape from all the cuffs I carry, and from which I release myself…I have escaped out of more handcuffs, manacles and leg shackles than any other human being living.” An image of Houdini appears below the text of his challenge, as well as his title as “The Expert Handcuff Manipulator.” In very good condition, with repaired edge separations to intersecting folds, a few creases, and toned adhesive remnants to the top edge.
