Early life

[edit]

Nothing is mentioned regarding Houdini working as an apprentice locksmith at 11 years old. 12.171.249.130 (talk) 16:50, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Have you got a source we can look at? signed, Willondon (talk) 17:01, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Source article does not match claim

[edit]

The line "It is unlikely that the dressing room incident caused Houdini's eventual death, since the effects of sustaining blunt trauma alongside appendicitis is debated in medical literature" is followed up with no links that support the actual statement that it is unlikely. At best, it is unknown. The TSACO article that is attached does not say that blunt trauma cannot exacerbate the effects of appendicitis, it only says that blunt trauma cannot *cause* the appendicitis. So it is misleading to insinuate that this article supports the idea that it is "unlikely" that the blunt trauma to the stomach caused Houdini's eventual death.
