Harry Houdini's About
[✎]Harry Houdini, also known as Erik Weisz, was a world-famous magician who wowed audiences with his daring and incredible escapes. By claiming to be free of any type of jail, leg-iron, steel lock, and chain, this Hungarian-born American escape artist knew how to attract attention. Fascinated by the French magician Jean Robert-Houdin, Harry Houdini not only stepped into his shoes, but also took on his surname, launching a successful and lucrative career. This master of illusion became famous across the world for his ability to escape from various closed containers, including prison cells, milk cans, and airtight coffins. His incredible stunts added to his illustrious illusion career, with his underwater box escape being one of his most impressive feats. The Daily Mirror challenge, milk can escape, Chinese water torture cell, and buried alive prank were among his other notable deeds. Aside from his near-death experiences and adrenaline-pumping stunts, he tried acting and directing but failed miserably. He also became the first person to fly a plane in Australia after purchasing his own plane as a keen aviator. He preferred to be recognized as an aviation pioneer rather than a famous escapologist.
