I am hoping you can come through for me. You're my last hope. It gets very frustrating on most of these sites. A lot of them say "FREE" but then they want a credit card number. I do NOT give out my number so therefore I can not use a lot of them.

Whiteboard in Rajkot. When tied down in ropes or straitjackets, he gained wiggle room by enlarging his shoulders and chest, moving his arms slightly away from his body.

His straitjacket escape was originally performed behind curtains, with him popping out free at the end. Houdini's brother, who was also an escape artist, billing himself as Theodore Hardeen , discovered that audiences were more impressed when the curtains were eliminated so they could watch him struggle to get out.

On more than one occasion, they both performed straitjacket escapes while dangling upside-down from the roof of a building in the same city. For most of his career, Houdini was a headline act in vaudeville.

For many years, he was the highest-paid performer in American vaudeville. One of Houdini's most notable non-escape stage illusions was performed at the New York Hippodrome, when he vanished a full-grown elephant from the stage. The business is still in operation today. He also served as President of the Society of American Magicians a. Founded on May 10, , in the back room of Martinka's magic shop in New York, the Society expanded under the leadership of Harry Houdini during his term as National President from to Houdini was magic's greatest visionary.

He sought to create a large, unified national network of professional and amateur magicians. Wherever he traveled, he gave a lengthy formal address to the local magic club, made speeches, and usually threw a banquet for the members at his own expense. He said 'The Magicians Clubs as a rule are small: they are weak Members would find a welcome wherever they happened to be and, conversely, the safeguard of a city-to-city hotline to track exposers and other undesirables.

For most of , while on his vaudeville tour, Houdini had been recruiting—at his own expense—local magic clubs to join the S. As had happened in London, he persuaded magicians to join.

The Buffalo club joined as the first branch, later assembly of the Society. Chicago Assembly No. In , he signed Assembly Number Three's charter into existence, and that charter and this club continue to provide Chicago magicians with a connection to each other and to their past. Houdini dined with, addressed, and got pledges from similar clubs in Detroit, Rochester, Pittsburgh, Kansas City, Cincinnati and elsewhere.

This was the biggest movement ever in the history of magic. In places where no clubs existed, he rounded up individual magicians, introduced them to each other, and urged them into the fold.

By the end of , magicians' clubs in San Francisco and other cities that Houdini had not visited were offering to become assemblies. He had created the richest and longest-surviving organization of magicians in the world. It now embraces almost 6, dues-paying members and almost assemblies worldwide. Every other president has only served for one year.

He also was President of the Magicians' Club of London. In , the London Daily Mirror newspaper challenged Houdini to escape from special handcuffs that it claimed had taken Nathaniel Hart, a locksmith from Birmingham, five years to make. It was reported that people and more than journalists turned out for the much-hyped event.

The escape attempt dragged on for over an hour, during which Houdini emerged from his 'ghost house' a small screen used to conceal the method of his escape several times. On one occasion he asked if the cuffs could be removed so he could take off his coat. The Mirror representative, Frank Parker, refused, saying Houdini could gain an advantage if he saw how the cuffs were unlocked. Houdini promptly took out a pen-knife and, holding the knife in his teeth, used it to cut his coat from his body.

Some 56 minutes later, Houdini's wife appeared on stage and gave him a kiss. Many thought that in her mouth was the key to unlock the special handcuffs. However, it has since been suggested that Bess did not in fact enter the stage at all, and that this theory is unlikely due to the size of the 6-inch key [41] Houdini then went back behind the curtain.

After an hour and ten minutes, Houdini emerged free. As he was paraded on the shoulders of the cheering crowd, he broke down and wept. Houdini later said it was the most difficult escape of his career. After Houdini's death, his friend Martin Beck was quoted in Will Goldston's book, Sensational Tales of Mystery Men , as admitting that Houdini was bested that day and had appealed to his wife, Bess, for help.

Goldston goes on to claim that Bess begged the key from the Mirror representative, then slipped it to Houdini in a glass of water. It was stated in the book The Secret Life of Houdini that the key required to open the specially designed Mirror handcuffs was 6 inches long, and could not have been smuggled to Houdini in a glass of water.

Goldston offered no proof of his account, and many modern biographers have found evidence notably in the custom design of the handcuffs that the Mirror challenge may have been arranged by Houdini and that his long struggle to escape was pure showmanship. This escape was discussed in depth on the Travel Channel's Mysteries at the Museum in an interview with Houdini expert, magician and escape artist Dorothy Dietrich of Scranton's Houdini Museum.

A full-sized design of the same Mirror Handcuffs, as well as a replica of the Bramah style key for it, is on display to the public at The Houdini Museum in Scranton, Pennsylvania. In , Houdini introduced his own original act, the Milk Can Escape. As part of the effect, Houdini invited members of the audience to hold their breath along with him while he was inside the can.

Advertised with dramatic posters that proclaimed 'Failure Means A Drowning Death', the escape proved to be a sensation. Houdini performed the milk can escape as a regular part of his act for only four years, but it has remained one of the acts most associated with him.

Houdini's brother, Theodore Hardeen, continued to perform the milk can escape and its wooden chest variant [50] into the s. Around , the vast number of imitators prompted Houdini to replace his milk can act with the Chinese water torture cell. In this escape, Houdini's feet were locked in stocks, and he was lowered upside down into a tank filled with water. The mahogany and metal cell featured a glass front, through which audiences could clearly see Houdini.

The stocks were locked to the top of the cell, and a curtain concealed his escape. In the earliest version of the torture cell, a metal cage was lowered into the cell, and Houdini was enclosed inside that.

While making the escape more difficult — the cage prevented Houdini from turning — the cage bars also offered protection should the front glass break. The original cell was built in England, where Houdini first performed the escape for an audience of one person as part of a one-act play he called 'Houdini Upside Down'.

This was so he could copyright the effect and have grounds to sue imitators, which he did. Houdini continued to perform the escape until his death in One of Houdini's most popular publicity stunts was to have himself strapped into a regulation straitjacket and suspended by his ankles from a tall building or crane. Houdini would then make his escape in full view of the assembled crowd. In many cases, Houdini drew tens of thousands of onlookers who brought city traffic to a halt.

Houdini would sometimes ensure press coverage by performing the escape from the office building of a local newspaper. In New York City, Houdini performed the suspended straitjacket escape from a crane being used to build the subway.

After flinging his body in the air, he escaped from the straitjacket. Starting from when he was hoisted up in the air by the crane, to when the straitjacket was completely off, it took him two minutes and thirty-seven seconds.

There is film footage in the Library of Congress of Houdini performing the escape. After being battered against a building in high winds during one escape, Houdini performed the escape with a visible safety wire on his ankle so that he could be pulled away from the building if necessary. The idea for the upside-down escape was given to Houdini by a young boy named Randolph Osborne Douglas March 31, — December 5, , when the two met at a performance at Sheffield's Empire Theatre.

Another of Houdini's most famous publicity stunts was to escape from a nailed and roped packing crate after it had been lowered into water. Police forbade him from using one of the piers, so he hired a tugboat and invited press on board. Houdini was locked in handcuffs and leg-irons, then nailed into the crate which was roped and weighed down with two hundred pounds of lead. The crate was then lowered into the water. He escaped in 57 seconds. The crate was pulled to the surface and found still to be intact, with the manacles inside.

Houdini performed this escape many times, and even performed a version on stage, first at Hamerstein's Roof Garden where a 5,US-gallon 21, l tank was specially built, and later at the New York Hippodrome. Houdini performed at least three variations on a buried alive stunt during his career. The first was near Santa Ana, California in , and it almost cost Houdini his life. Houdini was buried, without a casket, in a pit of earth six feet deep.
