Hello all

This Ques is Houdini related.

We are all aware by now of all the Info/MisInformation on ol Harry.

At one time HH said to the effect "He consideres no one a Compatient (SP ?) Magician, until they were
able to perform the Cups & balls trick well.

I was wondering if anyone has ever Seen/Located an Image of Houdini performing the Cups & balls trick.

Appreciate any help in this matter.

I don't think I saw a photo of Houdini pefforming the cups and balls. He did say a similar quote in a Cups and Balls book though. There is a work coming out of Italy shortly on the cups and ball book and will have the Houdini quote in there.

Appreciate your help guys ...

I would ,as im sure others would ,Truly love to locate this Image.
I dont believe it to be impossible as in the last few yrs were just locating photos of HH In poses w/ the WTC that
many of use have not viewed until reciently, so it is possible, maybe Patrick C. would like to chime in on this issue.

Im sure we will have our eyes open for this one...also
Would either of you have Contact info for the publisher of this book ?

Appreciate your help/ Thanks.
