From the most recent of James Randi's weekly columns...
A find! Here’s a real surprise! Click
here to hear the actual voice of the legendary Harry Houdini – recorded by Thomas Edison himself on a wax cylinder – delivering his speech introducing the Water Torture Cell illusion that he originated and featured in his final theater tour in 1929!

WOW! It sounds like he is over-enunciating. (Like edison told him to in order to clearly hear him on the wax cylinder.) that is amazing, though...to put a voice to the face. Excellent.

Just listened to this. That's pretty damned nifty!
Even niftier is the fact that Winamp chose to play Steve Miller Band's
Abracadabra afterwards.
