The Extravagant Life & Tragic Death Of Harry Houdini | The Magic Of Houdini | Absolute History

I bet the sword swallower can swallow a big huge sword😂

It's magic

Love that HOudini! 🎃
Died 10-31-1926

“He wanted to be number one with mom”

Damn…. That hits you right in the feels doesn’t it?

My idol, this man is nothing but pure inspiration. I'll never be as great as he was in his lifetime but his story, his life, every one comes second to Double H, has continued to give me hope for myself ever since I found out about this fantastic human being, dare I say God among men? I do. But I can say that my life is in your hands Harry & I can be reassured that I'll be around as long as I'm supposed to be here. As weird as that may sound, I'm basically saying that the amount of inspiration I get from Houdini every time I dive back into the information or recall the things I've learned or seen from his life is endless, he has done so many things it's amazing to think about. And fountain of youth in a way. When I get feeling low, I struggle with depression, anxiety and such, I dive into books or documentaries, even his movies, anything Houdini is on the table but after a short time, I start to come back to life. I get my fix. I love the quote, "my brain is the key that will set me free" 🧠. Oh how right he was, but that's my little 7 cents on my hero, the Great Harry Houdini

I am not trying to be judgemental, but if such bravado of love of heart, of mind and of strength could be at the services in glorifying The Great Glory, what a great life it would have being. R.I.P Houdini !

She sounds like she dying

Lol at “David Blaine’s physician 👨‍⚕️ “lol

Dude has creepy 👀

He couldn’t even figure out the double backed card. His knowledge of magic sucked. His knowledge of escapes was beyond measure though.

He was a weak magician. He was a great escapologist though.

He escaped from that coffin long ago and will make his grand appearance in due time. Lok

I didn’t know his mother’s name was Cecilia 😍I spell my name Cecelia.

Who’s the kid who punched him!?! Wtf how isn’t that recorded

Dude was sick … and that was way back …so today it would’ve been a sinch for him …🙏🏽

This is a long ass video.

The sword swallowing girl must of made a lot of money specially in the pandemic

Gorgeous guy

Magician = Evil!!

amazing italians prove them self over and over.the blks cry and cry because their ancestors were weak and got their butts kicked please get over it

I think that not getting enough attention is what drives him the most, but truth be told, satisfaction is not something u run after.. it's inside you. The day u decided, u are satisfied.

I think we all dream of people cheering us chanting our names our names in big lites think out outside the a huge stadium ONE NIGHT ONLY YOUR NAME in big lites think how that would feel.

So, did he ever get the monkey testicle transplants? 🤔

first though that comes to mind watching the sword swallower

Wow

Houdini is credited as making the first powered flight in Australia at Diggers Rest, just outside of Melbourne, Victoria on March 18th, 1910, in a Voisin Bi-plane. The plane's propeller can still be seen displayed in a public monument outside of Diggers Rest today.

He must have been a very good uncle to have wanted to be around kids

I often wonder what his brothers and sister were doing that would have outshined him with Cecilia. I know one of his brothers was an illusionist but still

I understand that his mother got along well with Bess

The way he looked at the sword swallowing lady...bless his heart.

Absolute....

Purple is a fruit

Not mentioning that the few short stories he published under his name were in reality written by the master H.P. Lovecraft, who was paid nearly nothing for his work.

😳Monkey glands to stay young?....Mankind can be so crazy Monkeys get old and die too, .....Was that ever a secret.?

crazy people

the ultimate showman , simply extraordinary , I'm always in awe of the feats he achieved , also i give a 👍 , and 👏 , to Alan Davies , 🇬🇧 , for doing this particular episode !!! 😎😀😷

P.T. Barnum is runner upper for showmanship.

The Statue of Liberty wasn’t being built in 1900.

It was completed and dedicated in 1886.

I read that he was punched in the stomach ,which triggered illness . Anybody ?

You really know how to tell a good story!!

There needs to be more resistance

Bess looks to be his sister🤨

Really enjoyed listening. Where did Thurston tie in? I heard of their rivalry from another post.

I wonder why the audience was only men?

Wow 😮

Killed by the fans standard.

She is talented ☺️
