Master magician Harry Houdini (1874-1926) starred in five silent films from 1919 to 1923. The famed illusionist/escape artist also founded his own movie company, the Houdini Picture Corporation. In 1919, the great Houdini entered the movie business, eventually appearing in a total of five silent films that are now available in a special three-disc DVD box set: Houdini: The Movie Star DVD (Kino International, 2008). I have not been able to confirm the exact film that this scene is from, but my guess is that it was a part of "The Master Mystery" (Octagon Films, 1920), a 15 chapter serial — also known as The Houdini Serial — which starred the great Houdini as Quentin Locke, an enterprising G-man who tries to crack a powerful criminal organization.

The Royal Lichtenstein Circus - under the direction of Nick Weber - presents a reinaction of Houdini's famous and dangerous Milk Can Escape. John Hadfield performs the escape. Cast members Paul Hadfield, Joe Colon and Nina Gray assist. Shortly before this performance, the truck carrying props was in a fire, and the milk can warped just enough to make the lid difficult to put on, adding about 15 seconds to the breath holding time.

This is an opening Dorothy Dietrich has done for college dates and industrial shows. As you can tell it all went over big. It was a home video and the opening is intentionally dark. The kids loved it. This was followed by one of her signature routines, Sawing a MAN in Half. She has done it with everything from a electric saw, a hand saw, a bow saw, a guillotine, a rope, and a sword penetration. She is the founder of The Houdini Museum, the only building in the world totally devoted to Houdini. Dietrich is the first and only woman to accomplish the Catching of a Bullet in her mouth, often called "The Jinxed Bullet Catch" and The Trick that scared Houdini. At least 12 men have died attempting this feat. Ms. Dietrich now holds the World's record in several categories. Dorothy Dietrich is often called The "Female Houdini" ™, "The World's #1 Female Magician" and was the first to be called "The First Lady of Magic". First woman to gain prominence as an escape artist since the days of Houdini, breaking the glass ceiling for a woman in that field.

On this stop, Jay presents one of the first escapes Houdini took to the stage, the Milk Can Escape. He would lock himself in a milk can filled with water, and stay for many minutes, building the tension in the theater. When the crowd was worked up with worry, he would emerge with the can still locked. Houdini was never injured in the performance of this trick, but they same can't be said for a magician called Genesta, whose story Jay also relates. -- A tour of the exhibition "Houdini: Art and Magic" with renowned magician Joshua Jay at the Contemporary Jewish Museum. Jay offers a performer's insight into the life, technique, and legacy of Houdini.

One of Gallup's Best Escapes and Deadly Magic Stunts, the Skydive Handcuff Escape. Robert Gallup's best death-defying escapes, and deadly magic stunts, is his extreme Skydive Handcuff and Chain Escape. Inspired by a crazy stunt Robert attempted as a kid, where he made a parachute out of his parents bed sheets and clothesline and jumped off the second story roof, he created his first death-defying extreme escape, the Skydive Chain Escape. Handcuffed, chained, locked, and thrown out of a plane at 13000 feet, fortunately, once free of the restraints he had more than just bed sheets and clothesline to break his fall!

This is the video of my training for the worldwide escape artist relay. I have the lifeguards shackle and chain me up. and then attempt to escape. Only my husband is in the water doing an underwater video. See them shackle my hands and feet tightly with 4 padlocks, add a 15 lead weight and then chain me up with an additional 25 feet of chains. All totaled they use 8 padlocks to secure me. Without a safety diver I plunge into the 12 foot deep pool and try and escape on a single breath. I think Harry Houdini would have been proud.

Escape artist Alexanderia the Great, attempts to escape from her version of one of Harry Houdini's most famous escapes the Milk Can At Lydia's Carnival Sideshow in Salem MA at Life and Death. Alexanderia puts her own twist making it a "signature escape" called the Underwater Cell. She calls it "UC" because 'you see' everything." Houdini in the Milk Can was shackled, squeezed into a narrow steel container, the lid was padlocked shut and most importantly a curtain was lowered while he made his escapes. The curtain hid the method of escape. By contrast, Alex will enter a small glass cube (see through) that is filled with water and has openings for her hands, which re shackled and padlocked. A lid is then locked on top of the transparent cube, trapping her underwater. The BIG difference here is no curtain will be lowered so all can see that she her at all times. Houdini said Failure means a drowning death. You will clearly see this to be true. How will she escape? Watch and see for yourself. Note for this attempt the tank because of a problem at the venue had to be filled with bone chilling 52 degree water making this attempt even more dangerous given the difficulty in holding ones breath in such ice cold water. Special thanks to Peter Alachi for filming this escape live.
