So brach Houdini den Rekord eines Fakirs, in einem verschlossenen Sarg möglichst lange ohne Luftzufuhr zu überleben. Houdini kopierte die Show eines dieser Fakire und behauptete, dass er jeden von einem Mann geführten Schlag in den Unterleib durch Anspannung seiner Bauchmuskulatur unversehrt überstehen könne.
Oktober in Montreal in dessen Garderobe auf. Angeblich hatte er Houdini nicht genug Zeit gelassen, sich auf die Schläge vorzubereiten.

Dort verstarb er nach zwei Operationen am Oktober Houdini wurde in einem Bronze-Sarg beerdigt, den er sich gerade für einen Fakirtrick Krematoriumsillusion hatte bauen lassen, auf dem jüdischen Friedhof Machpelah Cemetery im New Yorker Stadtteil Queens.
Houdinis weitere Nachfahren widersetzten sich der Exhumierung in einem gemeinsamen Brief an das Houdini-Museum in Pennsylvania.
As president of the Society of American Magicians, Houdini was a vigorous campaigner against fraudulent psychic mediums.
Most notably, he debunked renowned medium Mina Crandon, better known as Margery. This act turned him against former friend Sir Arthur Conan Doyle , who believed deeply in spiritualism and Margery's sight.
Before her death, Bess Houdini declared the experiment a failure. Though there are mixed reports as to the cause of Houdini's death, it is certain that he suffered from acute appendicitis.
Whether his demise was caused by a McGill University student who was testing his will by punching him in the stomach with permission or by poison from a band of angry Spiritualists is unknown.
What is known is that he died of peritonitis from a ruptured appendix on October 31, , at the age of 52, in Detroit, Michigan.
After his death, Houdini's props and effects were used by his brother Theodore Hardeen, who eventually sold them to the magician and collector Sidney H.

William Seward was a New York governor and U. She also authored novels, essays and poems. Another of Houdini's most famous publicity stunts was to escape from a nailed and roped packing crate after it had been lowered into water.
Police forbade him from using one of the piers, so he hired a tugboat and invited press on board. Houdini was locked in handcuffs and leg-irons, then nailed into the crate which was roped and weighed down with two hundred pounds of lead.
The crate was then lowered into the water. He escaped in 57 seconds. The crate was pulled to the surface and found still to be intact, with the manacles inside.
Houdini performed at least three variations on a buried alive stunt during his career. The first was near Santa Ana, California in , and it almost cost Houdini his life.
Houdini was buried, without a casket, in a pit of earth six feet deep. He became exhausted and panicked while trying to dig his way to the surface and called for help.
When his hand finally broke the surface, he fell unconscious and had to be pulled from the grave by his assistants. Houdini wrote in his diary that the escape was "very dangerous" and that "the weight of the earth is killing".
Houdini's second variation on buried alive was an endurance test designed to expose mystical Egyptian performer Rahman Bey, who had claimed to use supernatural powers to remain in a sealed casket for an hour.
Houdini bettered Bey on August 5, , by remaining in a sealed casket, or coffin, submerged in the swimming pool of New York's Hotel Shelton for one and a half hours.
Houdini claimed he did not use any trickery or supernatural powers to accomplish this feat, just controlled breathing. Houdini's final buried alive was an elaborate stage escape that featured in his full evening show.
Houdini would escape after being strapped in a straitjacket, sealed in a casket, and then buried in a large tank filled with sand.
While posters advertising the escape exist playing off the Bey challenge by boasting "Egyptian Fakirs Outdone!
The stunt was to be the feature escape of his season, but Houdini died on October 31, The bronze casket Houdini created for buried alive was used to transport Houdini's body from Detroit to New York following his death on Halloween.
In , Houdini started showing films of his outside escapes as part of his vaudeville act. In Boston, he presented a short film called Houdini Defeats Hackenschmidt.
Georg Hackenschmidt was a famous wrestler of the day, but the nature of their contest is unknown as the film is lost.
That same year Houdini got an offer to star as Captain Nemo in a silent version of 20, Leagues Under the Sea , but the project never made it into production.
The consultants on the serial were pioneering Hereward Carrington and Aleister Crowley. In , Houdini signed a contract with film producer B.
Rolfe to star in a part serial , The Master Mystery released in November As was common at the time, the film serial was released simultaneously with a novel.
Financial difficulties resulted in B. The Grim Game was Houdini's first full-length movie and is reputed to be his best.
Because of the flammable nature of nitrate film and their low rate of survival, film historians considered the film lost. One copy did exist hidden in the collection of a private collector only known to a tiny group of magicians that saw it.
After many years of trying, they finally got him to agree to sell the film to Turner Classic Movies [63] who restored the complete minute film.
The film, not seen by the general public for 96 years was shown by TCM on March 29, , as a highlight of their yearly 4-day festival in Hollywood.
While filming an aerial stunt for The Grim Game , two biplanes collided in mid-air with a stuntman doubling Houdini dangling by a rope from one of the planes.
Publicity was geared heavily toward promoting this dramatic "caught on film" moment, claiming it was Houdini himself dangling from the plane.
Following his two-picture stint in Hollywood, Houdini returned to New York and started his own film production company called the "Houdini Picture Corporation".
He also founded his own film laboratory business called The Film Development Corporation FDC , gambling on a new process for developing motion picture film.
Houdini's brother, Theodore Hardeen , left his own career as a magician and escape artist to run the company. Magician Harry Kellar was a major investor.
Neither Houdini's acting career nor FDC found success, and he gave up on the movie business in , complaining that "the profits are too meager".
In , Houdini became fascinated with aviation. After crashing once, he made his first successful flight on November 26 in Hamburg , Germany.
The following year, Houdini toured Australia. He brought along his Voisin biplane with the intention to be the first person in Australia to fly.
It was reported at the time that this was the first aerial flight in Australia, [67] [68] [69] and a century later, some major news outlets still credit him with this feat.
By modern standards his flight time was minimal, but in he had accumulated enough to become an instructor. On his first flight he took off, maintained straight and level flight, albeit briefly, and landed safely.
His crash landing on his second flight, when he tried to retrieve his hat which was blown off, demonstrated what a momentary lack of attention could cause while flying a Wright Model A.
It is accepted by Australian historians [73] and the Aviation Historical Society of Australia that the definition of flight established by the Gorell Committee on behalf of the Aero Club of Great Britain dictates the acceptance of a flight or its rejection, giving Colin Defries credit as the first to make an aeroplane flight in Australia, and the Southern Hemisphere.
Additionally, aviation pioneer Richard Pearse is believed by many New Zealand historians to have undertaken his first flight as early as , which would give him not only the Southern Hemisphere but the World record, although this is disputed.
In , aviation journalist Stanley Brogden formed the view that the first powered flight in Australia took place at Bolivar in South Australia; the aircraft was a Bleriot monoplane with Fred Custance as the pilot.
The flight took place on March 17, Australia Post did acknowledge the part Houdini played Harry Houdini can't escape being part of Australia's history but did not attribute any record to him.
After completing his Australia tour, Houdini put the Voisin into storage in England. He announced he would use it to fly from city to city during his next Music Hall tour, and even promised to leap from it handcuffed, but he never flew again.
In the s, Houdini turned his energies toward debunking psychics and mediums , a pursuit that inspired and was followed by latter-day stage magicians.
Houdini's training in magic allowed him to expose frauds who had successfully fooled many scientists and academics. He was a member of a Scientific American committee that offered a cash prize to any medium who could successfully demonstrate supernatural abilities.
None was able to do so, and the prize was never collected. Possibly the most famous medium whom he debunked was Mina Crandon , also known as "Margery".
In , he was exposed by Houdini as a fraud. Argamasilla peeked through his simple blindfold and lifted up the edge of the box so he could look inside it without others noticing.
Houdini chronicled his debunking exploits in his book, A Magician Among the Spirits , co-authored with C. Eddy, Jr. Doyle came to believe that Houdini was a powerful spiritualist medium, and had performed many of his stunts by means of paranormal abilities and was using these abilities to block those of other mediums that he was "debunking".
Before Houdini died, he and his wife agreed that if Houdini found it possible to communicate after death, he would communicate the message "Rosabelle believe", a secret code which they agreed to use.
Rosabelle was their favorite song. She did claim to have contact through Arthur Ford in when Ford conveyed the secret code, but Bess later said the incident had been faked.
The code seems to have been such that it could be broken by Ford or his associates using existing clues. In , Bess said that "ten years is long enough to wait for any man.
Gibson and Milbourne Christopher. Gibson was asked by Bess Houdini to carry on the original seance tradition. In , Harry Houdini hired H. Lovecraft and his friend C.
The article does not survive. Lovecraft's detailed synopsis for Cancer does survive, as do three chapters of the treatise written by Eddy.
Houdini's death derailed the plans, as his widow did not wish to pursue the project. Unlike the image of the classic magician, Houdini was short and stocky and typically appeared on stage in a long frock coat and tie.
Houdini was also said to be slightly bow-legged , which aided in his ability to gain slack during his rope escapes. In the biography Houdini!!!
They stressed his smallness—"somewhat undersized"—and angular, vivid features: "He is smooth-shaven with a keen, sharp-chinned, sharp-cheekboned face, bright blue eyes and thick, curly, black hair.
It communicated to audiences at once warm amiability, pleasure in performing, and, more subtly, imperious self-assurance.
Several reporters tried to capture the charming effect, describing him as "happy-looking", "pleasant-faced", "good natured at all times", "the young Hungarian magician with the pleasant smile and easy confidence".
Houdini made the only known recordings of his voice on Edison wax cylinders on October 29, , in Flatbush, New York. On them, Houdini practices several different introductory speeches for his famous Chinese Water Torture Cell.
He also invites his sister, Gladys, to recite a poem. Houdini then recites the same poem in German. The six wax cylinders were discovered in the collection of magician John Mulholland after his death in They are part of the David Copperfield collection.
Houdini became an active Freemason and was a member of St. Cecile Lodge No. A plaque affixed to the building by the Historical Landmark Preservation Center reads, "The magician lived here from to collecting illusions, theatrical memorabilia, and books on psychic phenomena and magic.
In , he registered for selective service as Harry Handcuff Houdini. In his final days, he believed that he would recover, but his last words before dying were reportedly, "I'm tired of fighting I do not want to fight anymore Witnesses to an incident at Houdini's dressing room in the Princess Theatre in Montreal speculated that Houdini's death was caused by a McGill University student, Jocelyn Gordon Whitehead November 25, — July 5, , who repeatedly struck Houdini's abdomen.
The accounts of the witnesses, students named Jacques Price and Sam Smilovitz sometimes called Jack Price and Sam Smiley , generally corroborated one another.
Price said that Whitehead asked Houdini "if he believed in the miracles of the Bible" and "whether it was true that punches in the stomach did not hurt him".
Houdini offered a casual reply that his stomach could endure a lot. Whitehead then delivered "some very hammer-like blows below the belt".
Houdini was reclining on a couch at the time, having broken his ankle while performing several days earlier. Price said that Houdini winced at each blow and stopped Whitehead suddenly in the midst of a punch, gesturing that he had had enough, and adding that he had had no opportunity to prepare himself against the blows, as he did not expect Whitehead to strike him so suddenly and forcefully.
Had his ankle not been broken, he would have risen from the couch into a better position to brace himself. Throughout the evening, Houdini performed in great pain.
He was unable to sleep and remained in constant pain for the next two days, but did not seek medical help.
He ignored the advice and decided to go on with the show. Despite the diagnosis, Houdini took the stage. He was reported to have passed out during the show, but was revived and continued.
Afterwards, he was hospitalized at Detroit's Grace Hospital. It is unclear whether the dressing room incident caused Houdini's eventual death, as the relationship between blunt trauma and appendicitis is uncertain.
After taking statements from Price and Smilovitz, Houdini's insurance company concluded that the death was due to the dressing-room incident and paid double indemnity.
Houdini's funeral was held on November 4, , in New York, with more than 2, mourners in attendance. A statuary bust was added to the exedra in , a rarity, because graven images are forbidden in Jewish cemeteries.
In , the bust was destroyed by vandals. Temporary busts were placed at the grave until when a group who came to be called The Houdini Commandos from the Houdini Museum in Scranton , Pennsylvania placed a permanent bust with the permission of Houdini's family and of the cemetery.
The payment of upkeep was abandoned by the society's dean George Schindler , who said "Houdini paid for perpetual care, but there's nobody at the cemetery to provide it", adding that the operator of the cemetery, David Jacobson, "sends us a bill for upkeep every year but we never pay it because he never provides any care.
Machpelah Cemetery operator Jacobson said, they "never paid the cemetery for any restoration of the Houdini family plot in my tenure since ", claiming that the money came from the cemetery's dwindling funds.
The granite monuments of Houdini's sister, Gladys, and brother, Leopold were also destroyed by vandals. He is not only a magical icon; his gravesite bears the seal of The Society of American Magicians.
That seal is our brand and we should be proud to protect it. This gravesite is clearly our responsibility and I'm proud to report that the National Council unanimously voted to maintain Houdini's final resting place.
Bowers said it is a foregone conclusion that the Society will approve the funding request, because "Houdini is responsible for the Society of American Magicians being what it is today.
We owe a debt of gratitude to him. Magicians Dorothy Dietrich and Dick Brookz have been caring for the escape artist's Queens grave over the years.
Houdini served as President from until his death in Houdini's burial site needs an infusion of cash to restore it to its former glory. On March 22, , Houdini's grand-nephew the grandson of his brother Theo , George Hardeen, announced that the courts would be asked to allow exhumation of Houdini's body, to investigate the possibility of Houdini being murdered by spiritualists, as suggested in the biography The Secret Life of Houdini.
In , it was revealed the parties involved never filed legal papers to perform an exhumation. Houdini's brother, Theodore Hardeen , who returned to performing after Houdini's death, inherited his brother's effects and props.
Houdini's will stipulated that all the effects should be "burned and destroyed" upon Hardeen's death. Hardeen sold much of the collection to magician and Houdini enthusiast Sidney Hollis Radner during the s, including the water torture cell.
In , a fire destroyed the museum. The water torture cell's metal frame remained, and it was restored by illusion builder John Gaughan. Radner loaned the bulk of his collection for archiving to the Outagamie Museum in Appleton, Wisconsin but reclaimed it in and auctioned it in Las Vegas, on October 30, Houdini was a "formidable collector", and bequeathed many of his holdings and paper archives on magic and spiritualism to the Library of Congress , which became the basis for the Houdini collection in cyberspace.
In , the bulk of Houdini's collection of American and British theatrical material, along with a significant portion of his business and personal papers, and some of his collections of other magicians were sold to pay off estate debts to theatre magnate Messmore Kendall.
The extensive Houdini collection includes a first edition of Reginald Scot 's Discoverie of Witchcraft and David Garrick 's travel diary to Paris from In October , in conjunction with the 90th anniversary of the death of Houdini, the Ransom Center embarked on a major re-cataloging of the Houdini collection to make it more visible and accessible to researchers.
A large portion of Houdini's estate holdings and memorabilia was willed to his fellow magician and friend, John Mulholland — In , illusionist and television performer David Copperfield purchased all of Mulholland's Houdini holdings from Mulholland's estate.
These are now archived and preserved in Copperfield's warehouse at his headquarters in Las Vegas. It contains the world's largest collection of Houdini memorabilia, and preserves approximately 80, items of memorabilia of Houdini and other magicians, including Houdini's stage props and material, his rebuilt water torture cabinet and his metamorphosis trunk.
It is not open to the public, but tours are available by invitation to magicians, scholars, researchers, journalists and serious collectors.
