Stuff That Matters In Life

Harry Houdini, the greatest escape artist, was able to get out of every jail they put him in.

In order to get publicity when his show goes into a town, he would go to the town’s jail and have the police lock him up. He breaks out within minutes, without fail.

I read about Houdini in a children biography, and his life is fascinating. He named himself after Jean Eugene Robert-Houdin, then one of the most famous magicians in the world.

Houdini was married but never had children. He died on Halloween in 1926 of a bursted appendix, according to the doctors.

You have not read anything about Houdini, pick up the children biography. You will enjoy getting to know the man behind the great escapes.
