Rare audio of Houdini speaking in 1914, recorded on Edison's wax cylinder

Harry Houdini speaking, in 1914

The great Harry Houdini speaks about his "Water Torture Cell" -- a trick that saw him escape from a water-filled box -- on October 29th, 1914. The audio was recorded on an Edison wax cylinder; one of six used that day by Houdini and now the only known recordings of his voice to exist.
