Harry Houdini (born Erik Weisz, later Ehrich Weiss or Harry Weiss; March 24, 1874 October 31, 1926) was a Hungarian-born American illusionist and stunt performer, noted for his sensational escape acts.

While many suspected that these escapes were faked, Houdini presented himself as the scourge of fake spiritualists. As President of the Society of American Magi |
