>Houdini always marked October 28, 1883 as the day he made his professional show business debut.
>Because it was on this day exactly 135 years ago that he appeared as a trapeze artist in Jack Hoeffler's 5¢ Circus billed as "Ehrich Prince of the Air."

He died on Halloween in 1926 from peritonitis caused by a ruptured appendix.
His gravestone has the logo of the Society of American Magicians (SAM) on it.
It looks similar to the Auspice Maria or IXXI.
