The Great Houdini

I actually knew very little of Harry Houdini, the world's greatest escape artist until I saw the movie called "Death Defying Acts" tonight.

All along, I thought Harry Houdini died when he failed to get out of a tank of water while being handcuffed. That misconception could possibly have arose from countless movies of magicians and escape artists I have seen and one of those plots could have confused me with how Harry Houdini actually died.

Harry died from a ruptured appendix when he was boxed by a young red-haired punk while in Montreal. In real life, he was the greatest escape artist ever until this day!

Guy Pearce and Catherine Zeta-Jones starred in this movie.
