Death Defying Acts Page #6

Well I do.

It's easy, isn't it?

Just like falling...

Mr. Houdini never asked

about the strange words

that came out of me.

He never asked where

I got them from either.

He believed in me.

Harry...

You'll catch your death!

No. Quite the reverse.

So...

Off to Montreal, is it?

Last one. Last time...

No promises.

No.

You saved me, Mrs. McGarvie.

You saved yourself, Mr. Houdini.

You saved me too.

Lost your voice, huh?

When did you last hear it?

Take care of your mama for me.

Hey, I'll see you again.

Harry...

Ma'am...

Angel with fire-red hair!

Clock says noon!

Sun goes black!

Watch out!

Here he comes!

Just gave him what he wanted.

It was easy...

You're goin' soft, you are...

It's like Mr. Sugarman said -

it's all just showbiz mumbo-jumbo.

All we've got is

what we can touch and see.

That's my girl...

When I was very small,

I had a gift.

I saw things

other folk didn't see.

As I grew up,

the gift vanished...

...just like

my mam said it would.

But mam was wrong.

Let 'em get a good look, Morry.

Mr. Houdini!

Are you going to follow

in your mother's footsteps, Benji?

Benji! Give us the look!

You know, the psychic look. Yes!

Just got the message direct

from Heaven!

- Bravo!

- Get back!

Hello, Montreal!!

Mr. Houdini!

I'm a student at the College here -

I'm studying Business Management.

Business management, huh?

My friend here wants to shake

your hand too, Mr. Houdini.

Pleased to meet you, Mr. H.

You're a man who can take a punch, right?

Mr. Houdini

can take any man's punch!

Get these kids out of here!

Isn't that right, Mr. Houdini?

What did you say?

Trick or treat?

KO'd in the first round!

Mam, what's wrong?

Back! Get back! Get back!

Get back!!

I didn't mean to

hit him so hard!

- Oh, saw that one comin'...

- Someone get a doctor!!

Yes, sir!

Right away, sir!

You're going to be OK, Harry.

You'll be fine.

I don't know, Morry...

Won't somebody call

a bloody doctor?!

This time I keep falling...

You're going to be fine, Harry...

Oh, God forgive me...

I told them, Harry...

...that stuff about your mother.

I told them.

I know. I know you did,

Mr. Sugarman...

Catch me...

The Great Houdini

changed our lives...

...and for a wee short while,

we taught him how to love.

And me and mam...

We had the here and now...

And we had each other.

Harry Houdini died of complications

from a ruptured appendice.

His last wish was a spiritist sance

on his death anniversary.

It has been said,

"If it is possible for anyone

to come back from the other side,

only Harry Houdini will.
