Harry Houdini was considered "the greatest magician produced by America." He started working in magic at age seventeen but hit it big at age 24. He was famous for his "escape" routines including: escaping from handcuffs produced by audience members, escaping from straitjackets, boxes, safes, water torture cell, and "being buried alive." (imdb.com)

Houdini was very interested in the unknown (Biography Reference Bank) Harry Houdini was also famous for debunking "mediums" or "psychics." He would prove that the mediums were fakes by demonstrating their tricks. Houdini also starred in many motion pictures (World Book Advanced)
