How much do you know about Harry Houdini?? We start off October with the story of the most famous magician of all time; we feel very lucky that he was working at the beginning of cinema and at a time when we can have photos of him and his stunts. The choppy silent footage and the stage makeup add just the perfect touch of mystery to his already impressive mystique.

Learn how this Hungarian Immigrant to the US toured the world and amazed kings, queens, tzars, and presidents with his illusions! Before tragically passing away on Halloween!
