Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
Some of the most awesome Harry Houdini facts center on his search for truth in everything he did. Harry Houdini was not a guy to half-ass things. If he was going to chase down so-called mystics and expose them as frauds, he canceled shows, wrangled a panel of scientists, and debunked you with fury. There are so many tales of badass Houdini exploits, you should just watch them for yourselves. Keep in mind, Houdini was a tough cookie - you shouldnt try any of his feats of endurance or pissy note writing

If someone dared him to eat a bug, not only would he do it but hed eat 50 of them and do it while hanging upside down while being dunked in a pit of venomous snakes. The man was insane. I wouldnt say though that he was legend magician. moreso a nutcase. He gets waaay too much credit as a magician. But I guess they didnt have much as far as entertainment back then, so his antics were probably seen as amazing rather than a bat shit crazy nutcase.

Im already subbed, and I really enjoyed and appreciated this ep. However, Im going to join a few other commenters in saying I think the bleeped expletive was silly. If you wanted to bleep the word, then it wasnt necessary, not an integral part of the story, which is the only reason for a writer to use bad language.

He wasn't trying to prove that mediums existed but he went to one after his mother died and she said that his mother called him Harry (which wasn't his birth name) so she never called him that. He instantly knew she was lying and from then on he made it his mission to debunk all mediums.

Knowing that Houdini went around debunking mediums makes me like him even more, even if it was to try to prove that real ones existed. Those con artists literally swindle billions every year, largely from the elderly and people without a lot of money in their lives to begin with.

There is no H in the city name Worcester. Think of Worcestershire sauce. Or of the Adam Sandler track Toll Booth Willy Welcome to Wistah! Dollar twenty five please

Given that the Wright brothers filmed their own first flights in the first aeroplane, I don't think you can say Houdini was the first to be filmed flying an aeroplane.

I'm with Shane from Buzzfeed Unsolved on this: Magicians do know the secret behind Houdini's tricks but they don't tell the public anything

Btw, its 15 years already I could die because of the appendicitis too, being on holiday. I was just in an hour to death when I had been operated.

Whitehead: Hey, You're Harry Houdini? Can I punch you?

Whitehead: Wow, I met Harry Houdini.

Its only now in life that I realise half these idiots we talk about from back then didnt really deserve much of their fame at all.

Does anyone know the story of the African American cop at 1: 03? I find that intriguing to see one in that time period!

3: 38 it's not pronounced War-chester. My city is named Worcester, pronounced Wooster. It's not like the damned sauce.

My uncle bought Houdini's house in whitestone, queens NY on the water. They found false walls and empty rooms behind.

Look up in the Sky's, it's Harry Houdini

Jokes like this are subtle but great LMAO

Sounds like he was obsessed with death. or the brink of death. Possible serial killer in the making
