Houdini Unveiled

In "Houdini Unveiled," we journey back to the beginning to uncover the man behind the legend. Before he was a global superstar, Harry Houdini was Erik Weisz, a determined performer honing his craft in the rough-and-tumble world of dime museums and vaudeville shows. This video charts his incredible rise from a fledgling magician to the world-renowned "Handcuff King," revealing how these grueling early years were not just a performance but a training ground where he mastered the arts of illusion, escapology, and human psychology.
The final chapter of Houdini's life was perhaps his most daring. We explore his last great career as he embarked on a relentless crusade to expose the widespread fraud of the spiritualist movement. Using the lifetime of skills he had perfected on stage, Houdini became the world's first paranormal investigator, debunking fake mediums and revealing the clever tricks used to deceive the grieving.

In this video, we travel to an earlier time, when spiritualists were the rage in postwar America, as people sought to make contact with their loved ones that have passed on. And how one man, stood against the industry built on taking advantage of people’s grief.
