He prided himself in his ab muscles so he challenged people to punch him. The man seemingly set up his own death through his own pride. But remember what he said: "I'm tired of fighting." Harry Houdini was not going to live forever, everyone dies and I believe that whichever way he died people would still expect him to escape death and be upset over his loss.įor his persona was one of generating admiration from the people by escaping when it seemed impossible, this is proven by the fact that even to this day people still attend seances to see if he will escape from that final judgement of his. the reality is this he couldn't escape death. Harry Houdini who was a master illusionist and who's main area of expertise was escaping from a myriad of man made traps, bindings etc. My theological analysis from an over arching world view: Gordon Whitehead revealed in The Man Who Killed Houdini Time to rethink the rethinking on the Houdini punch.Thanks to Dorothy Dietrich and Dick Brookz of the Houdini Museum in Scranton for this image scan. He is buried in an unmarked plot in Hawthorn-Dale Cemetery in Montreal, Canada. He was also charged with shoplifting books twice in 1928.Īccording to Bell, the troubled Whitehead died a recluse and hoarder in 1954. Returning a borrowed book was how he gained entry to Houdini's dressing room that fateful day. Sort of ironic that Whitehead is holding a book here. Bell says Whitehead was 31 when he delivered the blows, so this would put him in his mid 50s here. It shows Whitehead in Rodick's Bookstore in Montreal around 1950. This photo comes from The Man Who Killed Houdiniby Don Bell, a MUST read for anyone interested in the events of 10/22/26.
