 * Symbol confirmed.svg QPQ done (albeit quite old, though I think that's fine). No image. Hook is very interesting (particularly use of the word "Houdiana") and is sourced to the New York Daily News which, for purposes of an article on Houdini memorabilia, I think is very RS. Article is long enough (without much room to spare). Article is NPOV. There are some "citation needed" templates in the article but they relate to secondary information and don't impact the hook. Article moved to mainspace on January 7. No obvious copyvio. Looks good! Chetsford (talk) 19:47, 7 January 2018 (UTC)
