![]() ![]() ![]() Houdinis tricks were so amazing that he became one of the worlds greatest magicians. The trick to Houdinis handcuff escapes was to keep a key in his throat or sometimes he just took all his strength to rip open the cuffs. No one understood how Houdini accomplished his tricks, like his under water stunt, but every magician has their secrets. He did handcuff escapes, straight jacket escapes while hanging upside down by his feet, under water stunts and metamorphosis tricks (to disappear) and so on. Harry began to do tricks that were “impossible” to people. One day when Houdini performed, he met his future wife Bess Rahner, and began to perform all over the world with her. Instead of Houdin, he added i and Houdin became Houdini and instead of Euge`ne it was changed to Harry. He then took the French magicians name Jean Euge`ne Robert- Houdin and changed it a little. Years later Ehrich read so many books about magic and he even practiced some of the tricks. Ehrich would hang from his knees on the trapeze, put needles on the ground and pick them up with his eyelids. He even made a trapeze out of a broomstick and ropes and told his mom to make him a costume for him. Later on when Weiss was nine years old he loved acrobats and magicians and wanted to become a performer. His father the rabbi didnt make enough money to feed his big family, so him and his brother were forced to do odd jobs for money. Houdini was a very interesting and smart person, no one could beat The Great Houdini” at magic.Įhrich Weiss known as “The Great Houdini,” was born in Budapest, Hungary in 1874. ![]()
