Convention Registration by Mail Houdini Harry Houdini (1874-1926) From his breakthrough in 1899 to his death in 1926, Houdini was one of the world's most popular entertainers, a true star of stage and screen. Time and again, his escapes from seemingly impossible predicaments thrilled audiences by the thousands, who found him to be an affirmation of the human capacity to overcome adversity. Escapism in both senses of the word. But while nearly everyone is familiar with Houdini's stage persona, his little-known personal life is equally interesting. Houdini always claimed Appleton, Wisconsin, as his birthplace. But the man known as Houdini was actually born Ehrich Weiss in Budapest, Hungary. He would not arrive in Wisconsin until four years later, when he, his mother Cecelia, and four brothers joined his father, who had become rabbi of a small Reform congregation there. Although an educated man, Herman Mayer Weiss was not destined for success in America. His life-long struggle to provide for his family would make a lasting impression on his son "Ehrie," who was forced to work from an early age to help make ends meet. Still, the boy was drawn to performing, making his debut in a neighborhood circus as the nine year old trapeze artist, "Ehrich, The Prince of the Air."

He was born on March 24, 1874 in Budapest, (although Houdini often claimed to be born in Appleton, Wisconsin, he actually came to the United States when he was four years old). To this day many connected with the small town of Appleton still claim the untruth that Houdini was born there strictly to attract tourists. It is clear from copies of birth records and early family records on file at the Houdini Museum in Scranton, Pennsylvania in the Pocono region, that Houdini was in fact born in Budapest, on March 24, 1874. Historians are now finally agreed on this fact. In later years, in a magazine interview, Houdini said about Appleton, "the greatest escape I ever made was when I left Appleton, Wisconsin."

They have become legendary in the history of spiritualism and continue to spark interest and controversy. The question persists: Were the Davenport Brothers "probably the greatest mediums of their kind that the world has ever seen," as Sherlock Holmes's creator Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote (1926, 226), or was magician Harry Houdini (1924, 26) correct in reporting that he had facts "more than sufficient to disprove their having, or even claiming, spiritualistic power"? My research into the recently discovered Davenport scrapbook sheds new light on these claims and the fierce disagreement they provoked between Doyle and Houdini.

The Characters LINKS: Home The Scholars The Programs The Workshops ... Warren Map Zelda Fitzgerald When she met F. Scott Fitzgerald, Zelda was the popular, daring belle of the county, and every young man aspired to win her heart. When Scott's novel This Side of Paradise was published in 1920, it made him an overnight star and they married. Their first years together were some of the most colorful and decadent of The Jazz Age. Zelda became the American image of the flapper, symbolizing the revolution in manners, morals, and values of the post-war era. In 1924, the golden couple seemed to be at their peak—living like royalty on the French Riviera, while Scott worked on The Great Gatsby. There they met a dashing French aviator with whom Zelda began to have an affair. When he was transferred, many believe that Zelda began her descent into madness. Zelda became increasingly jealous of women she suspected of having affairs with Scott. Her eccentric behavior grew more disturbed. During this time, Zelda rediscovered her love for dance and joined a ballet troupe. Although she was too old to be a prima ballerina, she trained for years and had her first nervous breakdown as a result of the physical and mental stress. After her second breakdown, she began her only novel, Save Me the Waltz . Scott, who was writing

ARES Group Archive: Search This Site for WILLIAM E. PARKER, 33° Past Grand Senior Warden of the French National Grand Lodge FAMOUS MASONS MASTER MASON AND MASTER OF ILLUSION A s Houdini, the famed magician, was shackled and then lowered into the water-filled Chinese Torture Cell, the audience, gazing through the glass front illusion at the immersed man (poster below), sat transfixed knowing that, unless escape was possible within precious minutes, certain death by drowning would result. His very name conjures up visions of magical miracles, thrilling escapes and death-defying stunts. While Houdini (1874-1926) died three quarters of a century ago, the average person still thinks of him when asked to name a famous magician. In truth, there were two Houdinis, Harry Houdini, the performer as the world saw him, and Bro. Ehrich (Eric) Weiss, the man and Freemason, a personality obscured from view by the public persona. Born in Budapest on March 24, 1874, he accompanied his family to America. The reasons for the family's departure remain cloudy, although anti-Semitism undoubtedly played a major role. Harry Houdini was a complex personality, a romantic ever willing to embellish his rather mundane and plain beginnings. Throughout his life, there are clear instances where he invented and/or embellished events to enhance both his personal and professional image, having an incessant need to add color to events so that there might be an aura of mystery and glamour involved.

PARKER, 33° Past Grand Senior Warden of the French National Grand Lodge MASONI CELEBRI MAESTRU MASON SI MAESTRU AL ILUZIEI C ând Houdini, faimosul magician, era încãtusat si coborât în asa numita celulã chinezeascã de torturã, plinã cu apã, publicul, privindu-l pe omul scufundat în bazin, pãlea stiind cã, desi eliberarea urma sã intervinã în câteva minute pretioase, la fel putea interveni si moartea prin înecare. Numele lui era asociat întotdeauna cu întâmplãri iesite din comun, eliberãri spectaculoase si cascadorii care sfidau moartea. Chiar dacã Houdini (1874-1926) a murit acum 75 de ani, oamenii îsi mai amintesc el atunci când sunt întrebati numele unui faimos magician. Putinã lume stie cã Harry Houdini a fost francmason. Numele lui real era Ehrich (Eric) Weiss. Personalitatea complexã a lui Houdini avea, deci, douã aspecte: artistul Harry Houdini, stiut de toatã lumea si francmasonul Houdini. Nãscut la Budapesta pe 24 martie 1874, el a ajuns în America împreunã cu familia. Motivele plecãrii familiei sale în America rãmân incerte, se bãnuieste cã antisemitismul a avut un rol important. Harry Houdini era un romantic ce dorea sã îsi cosmetizeze începuturile. Este clar cã de-a lungul vietii sale au existat momente în care a inventat sau a "îmbunãtãtit" anumite evenimente pentru a-si înfrumuseta imaginea personalã si profesionalã. Avea o continuã nevoie de a da culoare faptelor pentru a-si pãstra aura de mister si strãlucire.

60. Houdini's Escape -- Calculus Project Harry Houdini (18741926) was a famous escape artist. In this project we relivea trick of his that challenged his mathematical prowess, as well as his http://barzilai.org/cr/houdini.html

Houdini's Escape Harry Houdini (1874-1926) was a famous escape artist. In this project we relive a trick of his that challenged his mathematical prowess, as well as his skill and bravery. It will challenge these qualities in you as well. Houdini had his feet shackled to the top of a concrete block which was placed on the bottom of a giant laboratory flask. The cross-sectional radius of the flask, measured in feet, was given as a function of height z from the ground by the formula r(z)=(10)/(square-root(z)) with the bottom of the flask at z=1 foot. The flask was then filled with water at a steady rate of 22 cubic feet per minute. Houdini's job was to escape the shackled before he was drowned by the rising water in the flask. Now Houdini knew it would take him exactly ten minutes to escape the shackles. For dramatic impact, he wanted to time his escape so it was completed precisely at the moment the water level reached the top of his head. Houdini was exactly six feet tall. In the design of the apparatus, he was allowed to specify only one thing: the height of the concrete block he stood on. Your first task is to find out how high this block should be. Express the volume of water in the flask as a function of the height of the liquid above the ground level. What is the volume when the water level reaches the top of Houdini's head? (Neglect Houdini's volume and the volume of the block) What should the height of the block be?
