Harry Houdini's last trick was a performance of the "Chinese Water Torture Cell," in which he was suspended upside down in a locked glass cabinet filled with water. During the performance on October 24, 1926, Houdini was unable to escape and succumbed to a burst appendix shortly thereafter. This trick was notable not only for its difficulty but also for being one of the most dangerous illusions in his repertoire. Houdini's death marked the end of an era for magic and escapology.
He performed pretty much anywhere
