Harry Houdini, King of Cards, and Ehrich the Prince of the Air are all names for the most famous escape artist and magician named Ehrich Weisz. He was one of the best showman of the 20th century. Harry Houdini was one of the first magicians’ to incororate escape ticks into his act. Harry is still remebered today because of the countroversy and mystery surrounding his life and death.
Much of Harry’s success is because of his stunts involving escape. His was a inventor in the fact that he was the first to bring escape into a magic show. He first began the art of escape in 1985 by incorporating the handcuff escape into his act after much succes with “The Metamorphosis” , a stunt in which Harry and his new wife, Beatrice Rahner, trade places in a trunk. This became his most famous trick at the time and he performed it at every show.
Harry found his publicity by performing exhibitions for police and reporters, the polices’ unability to figure out how he escaped intensified Americas interest in him. Houdini was not just an illusionist but a self-promotor with skills in marketing. Perforing many stunts in in newspaper offices, he would create his own publicity. Even though other magicians could perform the same acts and tricks as Houdini, his marketing knowledge and skills at attracting the public is possibly the main reason he is remembered decades later. He offered a one hundred dollar reward to any person that could present a set of handcuffs that he could not escape from. After the attention Harry got from the handcuff escapes but it was short lived, he went on a slump for the next six years. If it weren’t for Martin Beck, a theater manager in New York, Harry Houdini may have disappeared from the public. Martin saw Harry perform his handcuff act in St. Paul, shortly after he invited harry to perform his act on March 26, 1899, and paid him sixty dollars. Martin was asmazed by the escape and made an opening for a postion at the theater the following season. Houdini was wanted in the best vaudevillle houses across America.
Harry also drew much attention and astonishment from his somewhat super human strengths. Houdini had great strengh and agility that helped in his stunts. This that aided to the mystery that Houdini had built up and attracted even more questions. In a 1904 interview with Houdini by Edna Ferber at a drugstore in Appleto, Wisconsin– the place were Houdini had claimed to be born all his life– Ms. Ferber could not resist feeling his forarm and commenting on it say “amazing, as massive and hard as a granite pillar. His neck too, is large and corded.” The interview was published in the Appleton Crescent and attracted many readers and added to his popularity.
Houdini expanded his escape skills from handcuffs to leg irons, coffins, prison holding cells, and straightjackets. He also stopped doing his escapes hiden behind a curtain after accusations that someone released him behind the curtain. He started doing them with the audience watching every second and found that the audience enjoyed much more watching him struggle to escape, creating even more suspense. With his show widely popular in America he decided to expand and moved to England. Harry’s move to england increased the legend and he became an international star. One of his most famous stunts performed in England, Houdini removed all his clothes in front of three hundred German police and was handcuffed and locked in a prison cell. After escaping in six minutes this escape gave him worldwide recognition. Appearing on posters promoting his act was ” the only artist in the history of Europe to be given the Imperial Certificates by the German police”. The German police awarding him for his escape showed his popularity among everyone. Many people enjoyed his acts over others because of the fact that he did not claim to perform real majic but simply introduced himself as an illustionist.
Harry houdini opened doors for modern day illutionists like Chris Angel, David Copperfield, Doug Henning, and David Blane. Chris Angel commented that his new show ,” Chris Angel Believe”, is inspired by Houdini. In an interview with Chris Angel, by Shelia Roberts, he also made a remark regarding Houdini saying, “Houdini was a pioneer in a lot of ways, when he performed his straitjacket escape in front of enormous crowds, people identified with him. They felt that if he could escape from a straitjacket, maybe they too could escape from their constraints and achieve their dreams.”
Harry Houdini’s life and death was surrounded by contraversy and conspiracy thoery’s. The mystery behind the truth of how he died keeps people interested. He first was pronounced dead after a stunt, on Halloween in 1926, where Houdini escaped from a tank of water while chained and hanging up side down. After his body was examined, they discovered that his appendix had ruptured. Days earlier a college student named Samuel J. Smilovitch was invited backstage and he br
