Houdini's Big Little Book of Magic: Fascinating Puzzles, Tricks and Mysterious Stunts

These books are the ones I remeber. Houdini was a good writer and there can be more.

He was the Handcuffs king. He had to deal his esacapes with the brilliant mind to find a solution to get freedom.

Harry Houdini accepted all kinds of challenges.One time he had himself buried under 4 ft of earth with his head covered with a black hood.But this was a stunt he chose to never repeat,for there was not much air,and it caused panic to rise inside him.Another time Harry had an idea of a strait jacket escape.He hung upside down three stories above the street from his ankles,laced in a strait jacket.Then the long sleeves,which covered his hands,were tightly tied,pulled to the back,and buckled firmly.People thought it was impossible but there were wild cheers when Harry suddenly jerked the strait jacket over his head and tossed it into the crowd in 2 min.The great milk can escape was a trick that entertained people everyday.Harry would jump into a big milk can filled with water in a bathing suit.The lid would be fastened tightly until he escaped.And in 3 & a half min Harry would be standing,and the locks still in place on the milk can.The fourth most dangerous trick was when Harry was balanced shakily on the wing tip of 1 of the biplanes.2 planes were flying into each other,and Harry planned to jump from 1 to the other.But the 2 planes crashed,and landed in a

swamp.Luckily,Harry emerged out of the swamp like a swamp monster but safe.

Harry felt that the most dangerous escape were escapes from locked safes.A safe had little space,and if he made a mistake and jammed the lock,it would be necessary to dynamite the safe in order to get Harry out.Even though the escape only took him 2 or 3 min,he waited 45 min until he came out.The last 40

min he would read a book.Harry Houdini continued to remain in great demand

until the day of his death at the age of 52.

P.S.I am 9 years old.The only reason I am answering the question is because I am doing a report on Harry Houdini.Oh,and I only wrote 5 of the most dangerous things Harry ever did because if I wrote 10,it would take a whole

page.Hope it was helpful for you!

Of course not. Harry Houdini was a magician and stunt artist during the late 19th century and the early 20th century.

As well as being a master escape artist and illusionist, Harry Houdini was also a pilot. On March 18, 1910, he made the first controlled powered flight of an airplane in Australia. He flew a Voison biplane at Digger's Rest in Victoria, Australia. Houdini was also the first to have recorded a flight on film in Australia, flying over Sydney.

He was the first person to fly a plane in Australia

Harry Houdini married to Wilhelmina Beatrice "Bess" Rahner in 1894

The title of Jim Steinmeyer's book "Hiding The Elephant" is referring to one of Houdini's more public failures.

It was a show in New York's Hippodrome. A huge arena. Houdini wanted to present a similarly huge trick, and decided to make an elephant disappear. However, the trick apparently wasn't very fooling, and the headline the next day read "Houdini Hides Elephant".

As for failing to escape, for most of his career he had an open challenge to his audiences to provide any sort of restraint and he would free himself. There are a few stories on record of him failing that challenge, usually involving a rather unique or custom built restraint.

Few performers have ever captured the public imagination like Harry Houdini. From his breakthrough in 1899 to his death in 1926, Houdini was one of the world's most popular entertainers, a true star of stage and screen. Time and again, his escapes from seemingly impossible predicaments thrilled audiences, who found in him a metaphor for their own lives, an affirmation of the human capacity to overcome adversity. Escapism in both senses of the word. But while nearly everyone is familiar with Houdini's stage persona, his little-known personal life is equally revealing. Taken as a whole, the public and private views make "The Elusive American" a uniquely powerful window on his times.

Harry Houdini began his professional career at age 17 doing magic shows before civic groups, in music halls, at sideshows, and at New York's Coney Island amusement park, where he sometimes performed 20 shows each day. For a time he worked with his brother Theo as The Houdini Brothers. This changed when Harry met Beatrice Raymond, a teenaged singer and dancer who was also attempting a career in show business. Harry and Bess married in 1894 and Bess joined the act as Harry's new partner. Harry and Bess remained devoted companions for the rest of his life.

When Harry was nine, a circus arrived in town. He showed the manager his tricks and the man was so impressed with Harry's talent for releasing himself from rope ties, and picking up pins with his eyelids, that he hired him to perform while the circus was in town.

Harry Houdini was born in Budapest, Hungary, but later moved to Appleton, Wisconson. He lied to most people about where he was from and told them that he had been born in Appleton.

In 1893, while performing with his brother "Dash" at Coney Island as "The Brothers Houdini," Harry met and married fellow performer Wilhelmina Beatrice Rahner.

Houdini was about 5ft 5in - 6in. He had a strong muscular body, bushy black hair, bright blue-gray eyes, and was slightly bow-legged.

Harry Houdini was in prison because he attempted a stunt that was illegal at the time. He was illegally on top of a building and the authorities arrested him. He was soon released.

He turned the world of magic on it's ear. He also exposed many fraudulent mediums and investigated psychic claims. Many of his tricks/escapes could not be

replicated by others or explained. Some magicians believe not all his magic were just illusions. He also sued in Germany over claims he was a fraud. He was tested in their court system and they could not fids a lock he couldn't open.

Harry Houdini never actually legally got married. Bess and Harry were in love and did have a ceremony but their marriage was never finalized

Harry married the same woman 3 times. The first time they were married it was a secret ceremony, then the two times they married each other was in each of their own religious churches. Houdini met his wife at an amusement park in New York City called Coney Island. At the age of 19 he married Wilhelmina Beatrice Rahner (usually called Bess). The date was July 22, 1894.
