Harry Houdini
1874 – 1926 · Escape artist
The easiest way to attract a crowd is to let it be known that at a given time and a given place some one is going to attempt something that in the event of failure will mean sudden death.
Who he was
Born Erik Weisz in Budapest in 1874, Harry Houdini grew up poor in Appleton, Wisconsin, and New York. He became the most famous escape artist in the world, breaking free from handcuffs, jail cells, straitjackets hung from buildings and a locked water torture cell.
In later life he crusaded against fraudulent spirit mediums, exposing their tricks. He died on Halloween 1926 of peritonitis, after his appendix burst.
