Harry Houdini often performed his escape from a straitjacket while suspended upside down from a height. He would use his agility and flexibility to maneuver his body, freeing his arms and eventually releasing himself from the jacket. Houdini also practiced extensively to perfect his technique and sometimes employed hidden tools or mechanisms to aid in his escape, although he relied primarily on his physical skills and showmanship to amaze audiences.
