JAMES BROWN would have been proud of Jimmy White’s opening win of the 2005 Riley’s Club Masters last night — so too would Harry Houdini.

The Whirlwind thrilled his Wembley supporters club with one of the best wins of his chequered career.

From 4-1 and 5-2 down, the 42-year-old 1984 Masters champion stormed back to beat Matthew Stevens 6-5.
