    David Copperfield has several of Houdini's storage trunks and road trunks where he kept his equipment. Copperfield will always tell you that magic is not real...and that it is all an illusion. He has always credited Houdini with being the best escape artist he has even known of. Houdini is a great escape artist with a hint of magic flare tossed in to wow the onlookers.

    The best asset to a magician is the gullibility of people, our egos think we're so clever, but we're not.

    The is the ONLY way you can get out of locks within minutes is your bone or joints being able to shift and slip out. There’s no crazy secret, be real. He’s born with that gift.
  • When I was a kid watching his performance, many people say he sold his soul to the devil.

    Doyle was a firm believer in fairies and mystics as well. No one ever thought there might have two boxes, one of them sunk well before the event and the other that he was lowered into with fake hinges, fake hasps, ropes made of paper, and locks that never closed. Magic.
  • @petej.8676
    That's why he's Houdini man..lol. ✌️
  • It’s Funny that they even consider that For him! Considering he despised Mediums and supernatural things.
  • @bohem5568
    Wow,...I'm surprised they didn't say Houdini was using alien technology.
  • @fanatamon
    I would have agreed with you once.
  • Houdini hated spiritual magicians he definitely isn’t all that type of magic
  • @platano3000x
