A combination of things. Houdini was a natural-born magician, illusionist and escape artist. The essential techniques for all three came to him easily, and he practiced nonstop until his mastery of them was second to none. Also, he was amazingly double-jointed, and had a rare ability to dislocate his joints at will (this was critical to many of his escape abilities). Lastly, his sense of "show business" was unparalleled.
