Biography of Poppet
Once Houdini was one of Poppet`s friends, which he is no more. At stage in Detroit Houdini had just spirited Poppet away where upon he fell over - dead.
A rather sad story, because allthough Poppet enjoys her retirement amongst friends she still has a feeling that she actually soon should make an appearance out of a hat, after which she could strip this bloody cape. But she won`t put it away, because you never knows now do you.....?
