Hungary 2024 150th birth anniversary of Harry Houdini Souvenir sheet with Glow in the Dark Printing under UV
Issue date 29 November 2024
Magyar Posta (Hungary Postal Service) to commemorate the 150th birth anniversary of Harry Houdini (Hungarian Born Erik Weisz in Budapest on March 24, 1874) has issued a special self adhesive souvenir sheet with Glow in the Dark Printing under UV.
The stamp features a padlock, while the selvage of the sheet shows a scene from one of Houdini’s film performances. The portrait of Houdini appears in the padlock on the stamp when viewed under ultraviolet light.

The miniature sheet gives another hidden secret as described “ The same portrait can be seen under normal light in the space behind the self-adhesive stamp once it is removed from the sheet.“
The portrait as seen under UV light is literally seen behind the lock when the stamp is removed from the sheet.. Lo Behold the magic of Houdini on the stamp.. Spoiler Alert ( Thanks to John A Sipos for this revelation and Gratitude to the Hungarian Post for bringing out the essence of Houdini’s Escape routine .. He does comes out in the end.)
