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.

Harry Houdini Houdini was born Ehrich Weiss on March 24, 1874 in Budapest , Hungary. His family emigrated to the United States while he was an infant, and his father became the first rabbi in Appleton, Wisconsin. They later moved to Milwaukee, and eventually settled in New York. Young Ehrich's life was transformed after he learned his first trick (the vanishing quarter). At the age of 17, he changed his name to Harry Houdini and began performing in medicine shows, circuses, theaters, etc. When 100,000 people watched "The King of Handcuffs" wriggle free while hanging from a building in 1916, a newspaper reported that this was "the biggest crowd ever assembled in Washington at one place except for the inauguration of the President." One of Houdini's most spectacular illusions was the "Vanishing Elephant," in which the pachyderm lumbered on to the stage and walked straight into a large cabinet. Almost simultaneously the cabinet's walls would be pulled back and the elephant had disappeared. Houdini said "Even the elephant does not know how it is done." Four years after the Wright Brothers flew the first practical airplane, Houdini bought a French plane and made his first flight. And just 5 months later, on March 16, 1910, he became the first person to make a successful flight in Australia!

Harry Houdini is pictured in a portrait signed by him the year he died (1926), and [below] in an archival 1921 film press shot. Accompanying the portrait are Houdini's classic "exposé" books "Miracle Workers and their Methods" , and "The UnMasking of Robert Houdin" , with Houdini's inscription, which states his opinion on his historical writing: "Best wishes from the author of this first authentic history of magic and magicians — Harry Houdini." These photographic portraits and artifacts juxtapose the seeming opposite characteristics of intellectual and physical prowess which combined to characterize Houdini's brilliance: his ability to merge thought and action in a manner that never failed to captivate public attention.
