Houdini’s terrifying Milk Can Escape, his longest-running escape, exposed! The trick that has long shown Houdini’s lungs to be super-human is a pure fraud. Exhaling and loosening the jacket from his grip, Houdini was instantly free enough that a bit of tooth gnashing and flailing about (in tandem with gravity’s aid) was enough to free him.Įditor’s note: Eye on the Globe would like to apologize to any asylums whose patients are now able to slip their bindings. Oft performed hanging upside-down in midair, the escape is a spectacle beyond believing -until now! This escape required the artist to gulp down air, cross his dominant arm over the weaker one, and gather the jacket’s slack before the trick began. The trick that put Houdini (whose real name is revealed as Erik Weisz!) on the map is his daring straightjacket escape. So adept is he that he can open a lock with a bit of twine, a self-made skeleton key, or even striking the lock at the proper angle. For nigh-on his entire life, Houdini has studied all manner of locks. Houdini’s handcuffs, long believed to be some sort of “trick set,” have been revealed to be quite real! What the public had until now failed to realize is the magician’s dedication to his craft. From disappearing elephants to his famous Chinese Water-Torture Cell, we’ve got Houdini’s number this time! Let us begin as the famed escape artist himself did, with handcuffs: Now all of his secrets are yours to know, and ours to share. Harry Houdini, once no more popular than any other vaudeville act, has long made a name for himself by defying death through daring escapes. Stay tuned as Eye on the Globe investigates!
Late last evening, rival magicians (card sharps and shysters, likely) broke into the much-lauded magician’s study and purloined his portfolio. This just in: Magician maligned by malevolent miscreants! Harry Houdini, once believed to be the most powerful magician of the modern age, has been exposed as a fraud and a trickster.
