They would then "defy" Houdini to repeat the escape under stricter control. Two days later came a familiar Houdini pattern what I call the "mid-week drama." Typically this involves a challenger announcing they were unsatisfied with the conditions of the first test and/or revealing a method by which they believed Houdini escaped. On a challenge from Superintendent of Police, Major Richard Sylvester, Houdini escaped from "invincible bracelets" and cell No. The first occurred at the 10th Precinct police station on January 1, 1906.
Houdini was appearing at Chase's "Polite Vaudeville" theater at 1424 Pennsylvania Ave., and had already garnered headlines with two jail escapes in the city. during Houdini's first engagement in the nation's capitol, and it helped establish him as the premier "Handcuff King and Jail Breaker" in America. On January 6, 1906, Houdini performed one of his most spectacular jail escapes.
