And now it’s time for Manic Mystery Monday so pop your thinking caps on and teachers dial 1420 when you have heard the entire question and your class has an answer:
Question: Which famous magician actually died (!) on Halloween?
Answer: You might find it hard to believe, but the magician Harry Houdini passed away on Halloween day.
Class: Miller.
Note: Houdini's wife attempted to communicate with him after his death because he promised his wife, Bess, that if he died first he would send a message in code, one that only they knew, within 10 years. The result: no message from the other side.
Have a marvelous Monday everybody!
