Harry Houdini was an influential Hungarian-American magician and escape artist. Houdini performed elaborate and dangerous stunts, many of which involved his escape from handcuffs or a straightjacket while placed in extreme conditions. A renowned skeptic of Spiritualism, Houdini participated in paranormal investigation and eances in an effort to debunk claims of psychic activity and speaking with the dead. Houdini's career crossed-over into motion pictures once movies became widely produced at the turn of the 20th century, though his most famous performances were his acts on vaudeville.
