The Great Houdini "Believe" Oil Painting Portrait of Harry Houdini, Magician Spiritualism

A small, magical painting of the very Magical Harry Houdini, the world-famous magician and escape artist who was amazing crowds over 100 years ago. The painting measures 6"w x 8"h, and is painted in oils on board. Houdini comes to you framed in an antique frame from the late 1800s-early 1900s, that would have been popular during his lifetime. Houdini had a great interest in the afterlife, and took time in his life to expose those working as spiritualists whom he thought were frauds. He said he would try to communicate from beyond if there was indeed an afterlife...and it seems he did...sending the word "believe" to his wife Bess. The couple had made a pact that this would be his word to signify that he existed on the other side, and in a seance with medium Arthur Ford, Harry's message was delivered to Bess.
