Harry Houdini

No, airplanes could not fly that far when he was alive. All his intercontinental travel was by ocean liner. However IIRC he was the first person to fly an airplane IN Australia.

the Chinese Water Torture Cell

1894

94lbs

At age 12 he ran away and thats when they moved

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.

she was 105 years old

he hated how mediums ( people who conducted ceremonies where they pretended to bring the dead back to life) took advantage of peoples emotions and money, so he went out and convinced people they were frauds by dressing up in disguise, attend the ceremony, then ripping off his costume and re-enacting the ceremony later to prove anyone could do it.

No. He died from a ruptured appendix.

No, Harry Houdini is not single.

Magic i guess! not sure!

Harry Houdini invented a device of vacuums, tubes and wires that caused matter to vibrate at incredible speed. By strapping on the device, he used the vibrations to allow him to pass the molecules of his body through the empty spaces between molecules of other substances, effectively walking through a solid.

He probably faced money troubles... Judging by what I have found on other reliable websites... I hope this helps

Houdini was a secular Jew.

He was poor, so he performed tricks out on the streets to make money. he made enough money to move to America to make more money so his family can move to America with him.

yes he had 4

Theodore, his brother, and his wife.

It took Houdini around two minutes to fuly escape the milk can.

Yes, to a degree.

This is a qualified yes, in that Houdini disregarded medical advice.

Traditionally, Houdini's death has been attributed to the eye-wittness account of the abdominal blows he received from university student J. Gordon Whitehead. However, a Detroit physician diagnosed Houdini with accute appendicitis and advise Houdini to seek immediate surgical treatment.

Houdini disregarded this advice and went on to his scheduled performance at the Garrick Theater (24 October 1926). During the show he fainted and after being revived continued with the performance despite his 104° F fever. When he completed the show, he was taken to Grace Hospital in Detroit where he was admitted. Seven days later, 31 October 1926, at 1;26 PM, master magician Harry Houdini died of peritonitis from a ruptured appendix.

Because he refused treatment and continued instead with the physical and mental demand and stress of performing, Houdini definitely had a hand in his own death. In a sense, it was his own fault, as in 1926, even two years before the discovery of penicillin, appendicitis was quite treatable.

he would always have a police officer restrain him cause he claimed that he can get out of any handcuffs. therefore he offered $100 for anyone who gave him handcuffs that he couldn't get out of

yes.because when he and his brother were watching a group perform, harry spotted a short girl then married her.

None, he performed Escapes. Even when he made movies he did no stunts, he insisted on actually doing for real everything shown in the movie!

It was sold for $46,980 at a Christie's Auction. Not sure what Christie's cut would be, but I'm sure the owner made more than the $25,000 he was offered, though likely not by that much ;)

A magician/illusionist

His forte was escaping from confinement by locks, handcuffs, bonding etc. Some tricks had imposed time limits as they were under water or in dangerous locations

In later live he took on the avocation of discrediting spiritualists.
