Al Flosso: A True Legend of Magic
Al Flosso performing on television.
................................
ABOUT AL FLOSSO
Originally performing primarily in Vaudeville and at Coney Island, Al Flosso was noted among his peers for perfecting the "Miser's Dream" illusion of producing numerous coins out of thin air and dropping them with a loud clang into a bucket. Later, he appeared on a number of early TV shows, such as "The Ed Sullivan Show" where he was the first magician invited and appeared many times, and "The Steve Allen Show", among others. He also appeared in several films, including the 1931 Marx Brothers film "Monkey Business”.
From 1939 - 1976 Flosso owned and operated Martinka & Co, in New York City, America's oldest magic company, once co-owned by Harry Houdini, also later known as the Flosso/Hornman Magic Co.

    Harry Houdini, the renowned magician and escape artist, was historically known for his exceptional strength, agility, and dexterity, which he demonstrated through his remarkable feats of escape and endurance. His physical abilities, particularly in using his hands and legs, contributed significantly to his legendary status in the world of magic and performance arts.

    I don’t like people that give you stuff but still don’t treat you right and in order to gain control over you. I’d rather not have whatever that is. I have a friend that remains friends with people because they like to give (she says giving is a cherished act of kindness) but they don’t treat her right. I tell her “look at it as a hierarchy, you look at how people treat you first before you consider the gifts they give you).

    Are Mooms Mabley ladies Transvestices, they change into both sexes and into animals too? Whtereve the is they seem to be in every state and a lot of countries, and hold child custody cases and juvenile detention places? DO some kids really need to get back to. school? and their parents arc locked off their jobs till the kids too, or. parents clocked off driving and from using credit cards or their homes? they need write. ups,somehavenotwrte up the kids. casesnowhereyet. to. filed. it even with. no pone to talk. to their parents. Peopleare shifted off their payroll benefits till these cases are reviewed.They say Houdini makes up those manly juvenile care women that elderly/ do they have. a actual payroll. file? some say they don't yet. wh. why they won't file the kids cases. Does Houdini need a law committee? notskyrivi orcabenuva. ask if they can get numbers people to help from universitisand old city workers unprotects or something. no peoples husband and ask like one man whoevert they looking at cant do all that and get paid pussie.

    The way Houdini was tied upside down in the last part of the show was that he was tied with a pulley or ( fool)in symbolism, while there are three lines attached to the pulley then another line diagonal, a right angle. Probably its not just Houdini's skills displayed in that video but also the hidden things, the fooley symbol, the right angle in geometrical angulars in science, the Threes in a law, and the magic that Houdini practices aside from his proven escape artist skills. Hmmm Different forces and knowledge comes into play to free Houdini for a show. Hows the percentage for each? He he! Another is Harry Houdini tied on a stage being hold by 3 men, then while he is doing the movement to untie him, theres the multitude of crowd mostly with hats of the saucer type. Then in the middle of the show theres crowd movement wherein the saucer type men with hats was slowly replaced and inserted with men with palos hats, in filipino palos plus sot is palusot or attempt to cover up and escape as symbolism though the palos hats have irregular shape and soft at the top which cannot be easily penetrated by wavelengths because some waves will bounce off in another direction while a saucer like hat mostly have concave or flat indented hard hats which can be penetrated by waves designed to work on non stealth shape hats without edges, my personal question, would that be that the counter to UFO sensors are irregular soft shapes because UFO shape hats were like hats of MIB or Men In Black like in a movie?

    Houdini had several ways to escape from handcuffs: 1 - Hitting the handcuffs: He could hit the handcuffs at a certain angle and with enough force to spring them open. 2 - Using a string: He could use a thin piece of string to pull a screw from the locking mechanism. 3 - Using a key: He could hide a skeleton key in his palm or sleeve. Houdini also escaped from the Washington, D.C. jail that once held Charles Guiteau, the assassin of President James A. Garfield.
