Sudâ€" dently she embraced him and gazing at him earnestly, pleaded: ‘ The story, which is told for the first time in the intimate memoirs of Houdini in The American Magazine, relates how, in 1917, the great actress witnessed one of Houdini‘s performâ€" ances in New York and so marveled at his skill she asked for a private exhibition. _ As Houdini .entertained the aged actress who was bravely strugglmfi on despite the loss of a limb, her‘ conviction grew that he possessed supernatural powers. ‘ Although he wrathfully scouted al} charges that he had supernatural powers, the lite Houdini, world‘s greatests magician, experienced his greatest grief over the fact that Sarah Bernhardt believed that he could perform a miracle for her if he would.
