Born Erik Weisz in Budapest in 1874, the Hungarian immigrant had transformed himself into the highest-paid performer in all of American vaudeville.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKnown worldwide as \"Harry Handcuff Houdini,\" he first gained fame challenging European police forces to keep him restrained. By 1913, he had expanded far beyond handcuffs, introducing his legendary Chinese Water Torture Cell escape the previous year — a death-defying act that astonished audiences for the rest of his career.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe year 1913 also marked a profound personal turning point — the death of his beloved mother Cecilia, an event that devastated Houdini and sparked his consuming interest in spiritualism. This obsession would later drive his famous crusade to expose fraudulent mediums across the United States.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis reproduction preserves a compelling portrait from the Library of Congress's renowned McManus-Young Collection, which houses over twenty thousand items documenting the history of stage magic in America. Prized by collectors of entertainment history and magical arts memorabilia, it immortalizes the greatest escape artist the world has ever known.","brand":"Historic Prints","offers":[{"title":"8x12 Inch","offer_id":47721128820925,"sku":"ENP0381_0812V","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11x17 Inch","offer_id":47721128853693,"sku":"ENP0381_1117V","price":44.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"16x24 Inch","offer_id":47721128886461,"sku":"ENP0381_1624V","price":64.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0504\/5459\/3725\/files\/08_C3_9712-1Main_4b0d09e7-f2fc-4b56-9156-9ee73e04481f.jpg?v=1784892480","url":"https:\/\/historicprints.com\/es\/products\/1913-harry-houdini-print","provider":"Historic Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
