This being one of my favourite KaTe songs, something
has always bothered me.  Who is/was Rosabel?  Before 
you all jump out and say Mrs. Houdini, I know for a
fact that Mrs. Houdini's name was Bess. (OK, Elizabeth) 

BTW, I was talking to my brother about this song,
He is not a KaTe fan, but is an amateur magician and
a member of IBM (international Brotherhood of Magicians)
It turns out that KaTe's idea that the key for Houdini's
stunts is probably erroneous.  (I am talking about passing
the key with a kiss) It was a theory that was
once held, but has been pretty well refuted by now.
