Houdini did many very popular tricks including:

Once Houdini told an audience that if they brought him a pair of handcuffs that he could not escape, he would give them 100 dollars. He never paid one person.

Escaping from straight-jackets from high up places. Such as cranes and tall buildings.

Another famous escape was when Houdini did the famous "Bridge Jump" into the San Fransisco Bay with a 75 pound ball and chain shackled onto his ankles and also handcuffs on his wrists.

Then there is the "Needle Trick", he swallowed many needles and then pulled the needles hooked on a string from his throat.

What was Harry Houdini most famous act?

If you separate magic tricks from escapology, then Houdini's most impressive trick was the disappearing elephant trick. Here an elephant was walked on to the stage and into a box; the box was rotated then opened. The elephant and keeper were gone. The trick is all the more impressive if you know that under the stage was a swimming pool so there were no trap doors. It's generally thought that Houdini did the trick with a slanted mirror inside the box. This method is still used today to make the Statue of Liberty (or the like) disappear.
