Just finished reading "The Secret Life of Houdini -- The Making of America's First Superhero" tonight. It references this site and the associated search engine "AskAlexander.org" which requires an account here.
Good book -- an interesting hypothesis that Houdini actually helped in training soldiers in the art of escaping bondage and that he went on reconnaissance missions for both England and America under the guise of touring Germany and Russia with his Escape Artist act.
