Various Bogus Mis-information about Houdini. Below are various write ups that can be found in different Multimedia Encyclopedia's .....For serious Houdini Fans, this type of information can even be amusing. I received this photo recently from a person that wanted to sell it to me as being Houdini. You decide if there is any resemblance. This is inscribed to his Sister Ethel. Houdini never had a sister named Ethel. Anyhow, interesting coincidence with the name of Harry. And now, something from an encyclopedia.....this could never be wrong... Comptons 1996... HOUDINI, Harry (1874-1926). Every Halloween fans of Harry Houdini gather in Appleton, Wis. (which he claimed as his birthplace), and in Chicago where his ashes were scattered in a Jackson Park lagoon in an attempt to contact his spirit. This ongoing devotion is a testimony to the career and personality of the 20th century's most famous magician. Houdini gained international renown for performances in which he released himself from ropes, handcuffs, submerged trunks, and other confinements. Houdini was born Erik Weisz in Budapest, Hungary (not in Wisconsin), on March 24, 1874. He took his stage name from the French magician Jean-Eugene Robert-Houdin. As a youth Houdini was a circus acrobat and trapeze performer. He then turned to magic and appeared in vaudeville houses and other showplaces. After immigrating to the United States he met the producer Martin Beck who persuaded him to specialize in escapes. Houdini's wife, Wilhelmina Rahner (who took the name Beatrice Houdini), served as his assistant in performances.

Wie es Houdini gelang, seine Fesseln - z. B. mehrere Paar Handschellen - abzustreifen, blieb ungeklärt. Doyle hielt ihn sogar für ein Medium, das nur als Taschenspieler auftrat und sich, gefesselt, dematerialisierte, um sich, der Fesseln ledig, wieder zu rematerialisieren (vielleicht auch die Fesseln de- bzw. rematerialisierte?). Die Entfesselung selbst wurde nie beobachtet, sondern fand unter Wasser oder in verschlossenen Kisten bzw. Räumen statt. Die jüngste Theorie geht dahin, dass Houdini den Schlüssel zu den Handschellen verschluckte, ihn durch -Rumination wiedergewann und sich dann mit seiner Hilfe befreite. Mit der Parapsychologie kam Houdini mehrfach in Berührung. 1924 war er Mitglied eines Komitees, das die Zeitschrift The Scientific American einberufen hatte mit dem Ziel, ein psychokinetisches Medium zu beobachten, dessen Leistungen dann mit 2500 Dollar honoriert werden sollten. Ausser Houdini gehörten unter anderem Carrington und McDougall der Prüfungskommission an.
