Harry Houdini

Description:
Harry Houdini was a Magician  back in the 1920's. He was born March 24, 1874 in Budapest, Hungary. At the age 17 was when Harry decided he was going to be a magician. His real name was Ehrich Weiss. He is known as the master of Illusion.  Harry Houdini was both hedonism and liberation. The reason why we say both is because Hedonism means took on to many things with his tricks and liberation because he did more than any other magician.

"Houdini brought the "East Indian Needle Trick" from the obscurity of sideshows to popular culture in the early 1900's. In this trick, Houdini swallows 50 to 100 needles, 20 yards of thread and brings them all up threaded, after his mouth and throat have been inspected by a committee."
