"Magic is the sole science not accepted by scientists, because they can't understand it." -Harry Houdini
One of the greatest stunt performers and illusionist of all time was Harry Houdini. He was born on March 24, 1874 in Budapest, Hungary. He had quite a few movies also: “The Man from Beyond, The Grim Game, Haldane of the Secret Service, The Golden Twenties, and Terror Island.” His best attractions were his escape acts such as the “Harry Handcuff Houdini” act. Many people would come from all around the world to witness his amazing acts. The places he performed were always packed with around 4,000 people attending. His tickets would always sooner or later be SOLD OUT. He brought entertainment to everyone throughout the decade which seemed like it had no end to. Although tragedy struck, Harry had died on October 31, 1926 in Detroit, MI after being punched.
