Summary

Dinner invitation and menu with image of ship on the cover.

On June 18, 1914, Harry and Beatrice Houdini sailed from Europe to New York aboard the S.S. Imperator of the Hamburg-America Line. On the 21st Houdini gave a performance that astounded fellow passenger Theodore Roosevelt. On the 22nd Houdini celebrated his longest running engagement the 20th anniversary of his marriage.

Harry Houdini was a Hungarian-American magician and escapologist, born in Budapest in 1874. He was one of the most famous and successful magicians of his time, known for his spectacular escape acts and death-defying stunts. Houdini's signature tricks included escaping from handcuffs, straitjackets, and locked boxes, as well as diving into and out of tanks of water while shackled.
