Harry Houdini, born Erik Weisz on March 24, 1874, in Budapest, Hungary, was a Hungarian-American illusionist and stunt performer known for his sensational escape acts.
At a young age, Houdini immigrated to the United States with his family and settled in Appleton, Wisconsin. His fascination with magic and escape artistry began early on, and he began performing in dime museums and sideshows under the stage name "Harry Houdini."
Throughout his career, Houdini became famous for his daring escapes from handcuffs, straitjackets, ropes, and chains in front of live audiences. His performances captured the attention of audiences worldwide and solidified his reputation as the greatest escape artist of all time.
In addition to his escape acts, Houdini was also a skilled magician and performer. He incorporated elements of magic and illusion into his performances and became known for his theatrical flair and showmanship.
Aside from his stage performances, Houdini also delved into the world of film, starring in several silent movies and producing his own films showcasing his death-defying stunts.
Tragically, Houdini passed away on October 31, 1926, at the age of 52 from complications related to a ruptured appendix. Despite his untimely death, his legacy lives on as one of the most iconic and enduring figures in the history of magic and entertainment.
