Harry Houdini, born on March 24, 1874 in Budapest, Hungary, and died on October 31, 1926 in New York City, was a Hungarian-American escape artist, illusionist, stunt performer, and mysteriarch best known for his escape performances. He rose to prominence in vaudeville in the United States, and then as "Harry 'Handcuff' Houdini" on a tour of Europe, where he challenged police forces to keep him imprisoned. He soon expanded his repertoire to include chains, ropes strung from buildings, straitjackets under water, and needing to escape and hold his breath inside a sealed milk can with water within it.
