Harry Houdini - Flashes !!

All my readers , Let me have the honour to Bring forward a legacy infront of u . I wish I were born a century before to see the prestigious and remarkable enigma Harry Houdini.
He was born on March 24 ,1874 in Budapest , Hungary.

 His Signature    -        


I wont talk of his early lyf and his Family background much. M here to speak of his achievements , the only popular thing that he acheived in his days. Wat has he not done ? He was a magician & a escapologist , a stunt performer ,a pilot , a historian , a film maker & an actor  and was also a skeptic who set out to expose frauds purporting to be supernatural. 


He began his magic career at the tender age of 17 only.In 1893 , while performing wit his brother Dash at Coney Island as the "Houdini Brothers", Harry met fellow performer Bess whom he married. Bess replaced Dash in the act known as the " the Houdinis".He became widely known as the " The Handcuff King".
For most of his career, Houdini performed his act as a


headliner in vaudeville. For many years, he was the highest-paid performer in American vaudeville.He also served as President of the Society of American Magicians (aka S.A.M.) from 1917 untill his death in 1926.Some of his notable escapes are as - Mirror Handcuff Challenge ; Milk Can Escape ; Chinese Water Torture Cell ; Suspended Straitjacket  Escape ; Overboard Box Escape ; Buried Alive Stunt  It was never really cleared how He managed to escape from his bonds. In 1906 Houdini started showing films of his outside escapes as part of his vaudeville act.


In the 1920s, after the death of his mother, Cecelia, he turned his energies toward debunking self-proclaimed psychics and mediums, a pursuit that would inspire and be followed by later-day conjurers. Houdini's training in magic allowed him to expose frauds who had successfully fooled many scientists and academics. He was a member of a Scientific American committee that offered a cash prize to any medium who could successfully demonstrate supernatural abilities. None were able to do so, and the prize was never collected.Before Houdini died, he and his wife, Bess, agreed that if Houdini's spirit came back to earth, he would utter "Rosabelle believe" as a secret codeword to prove that it was actually him. This was a phrase from a play that Bess performed in when the couple first met. Bess Houdini, the magician's widow, held yearly séances on Halloween for ten years after Houdini's death, but Houdini's spirit never appeared and communicated the passphrase.
Harry Houdini died of peritonitis, secondary to a ruptured appendix. Eyewitnesses to an incident in Montreal gave rise to speculation that Houdini's death was caused by a McGill University student, J. Gordon Whitehead, who delivered multiple blows to Houdini's abdomen to test Houdini's claim that he was able to take any blow to the body above the waist without injury.
1968: The Houdini Magical Hall of Fame was opened on Clifton Hill in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada. At its opening, this museum contained the majority of Houdini's personal collection of magic paraphernalia.
1975: Houdini received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
2001: The Houdini Seance was mounted as a theatrical piece in Chicago by Neil Tobin and becomes an annual Halloween event at Excalibur .
2010: A major traveling exhibition of Houdini memorabilia, paraphernalia, and art (inspired by him)—entitled Houdini's Art and Magic—opened at the Jewish Museum in New York on October 29, 2010.
I therefore take the opportunity to Give HARRY HOUDINI - Flashes !! Flashes !! , I take him very close to myself as his birthdate 24 and month of  death October is very close to my birthdate 24th October. A man of mystery & dignity left the world physically but gave Magik a true path of heights.
Flashes !!! Flashes !!!
