The Little Boy has a dream of Harry Houdini locked in a dynamite-laden box by Willie Conklin. The box explodes, and although Houdini is left unscathed and smiling, the Little Boy wakes up screaming and sees the dream as a premonition. He tells his mother that people are going to die in an explosion...
Harry Houdini, Master Escapist Lyrics
[LITTLE BOY]
Harry Houdini
Master Escapist
Master of getting free
[HOUDINI]
Holding his breath
He dances with death
As daring as he can be
Enter the master
Safe from disaster
Making the people gay!
[The box explodes, and Houdini is left unscathed and smiling. A crowd cheers. LITTLE BOY is wide awake.]
[LITTLE BOY, spoken]
Mother, Mother!
[MOTHER, spoken]
Edgar, what is it? What are you doing out of bed? Shh, you just had a nightmare.
[LITTLE BOY, spoken]
Something terrible is going to happen. An explosion. People are going to die.
