Houdini did appear in Edinburgh at the Empire Theatre on the following dates: December 1910, April 1913, April 1914 and February 1920. See the book 'Houdini - The British Tours' - by Derek Tait. In 1911 there was a fire in this theatre killing 10 people including The Great Lafayette. The 2007 movie 'Death Defying Acts' (set in 1926) is largely fictionalised, and the events between Houdini and a fictional scottish medium 'Mary McGarvie' did not happen.
Harry Houdini faced several setbacks throughout his career, including early failures in magic that led to financial struggles and a lack of recognition. He also endured criticism and skepticism from both the public and fellow magicians, particularly when trying to expose fraudulent spiritualists. Additionally, Houdini experienced personal tragedy with the death of his mother, which deeply affected him and influenced some of his later performances. Despite these challenges, he persevered and became one of the most famous magicians in history.
