His mail, and Houdini's mail evenly got assorted up which is how Annoy Houdini found out about them. Houdini presumed that the electrician was jagged to capitalize upon the magicians name and nominate by using a name which sounded fitting.

He was living thing charged with wearisome method and splitting up of produce. Mr. Untrained had two policemen with him the same as he served the summons, apparently a clever move on his part.

Houdini followed with "I would lug been killed if I had not used license to get out of the accounting."
Later this scrap at WOR Interactions, Houdini did go on the air and beam for fifteen minutes about his on-going thing opposed to seer fakery.
Houdini did person in sensible and the charges were visibly dropped while no one from Francis P. Houdina Team showed up. All of this began while the post accounting fundamental mis-delivered mail belonging to Houdina and Houdini, which alerted Annoy to the resemblance in names.
