His parents brought him to the United States in his infancy, and they settled in Appleton, Wisconsin. He took his professional surname from that of the French magician Jean Eug¨ne Robert-Houdin. Houdini began his career in 1882 as a trapeze performer. Subsequently he became world famous for his performances of feats of magic. He showed astounding ability in extricating himself from handcuffs, ropes, locked trunks, and bonds of any sort. At one time he had himself tied and then locked in a packing case, which was bound with steel tape and dropped into the harbor off the Battery in New York City. Houdini appeared on the surface of the water in 59 seconds. Houdini attributed all his feats of magic to natural, physical effects and explained how many of his tricks were performed. He exposed the tricks of fraudulent spiritualistic mediums, often producing “spiritualistic” phenomena himself that he explained in nonmystical, physical terms. Before he died, Houdini arranged a definitive test of spiritualism. He devised a ten-word code that he would communicate to his wife, if possible, within ten years after his death. After he died, various mediums maintained that they were able to establish contact with him, but none was able to transmit to his wife the prearranged code. He left his library of magic, one of the most valuable in the world, to the Library of Congress. Among his writings are

64. 243 My Juneau, Alaska, Glacier Trek Conjures Harry Houdini And Sir Edmund Hillar A picture of harry houdini popped into my head but there was no time to get an answer. They loosened my harness and I felt a little better. http://www.travellady.com/Issues/December04/243MyJuneauAlaska.htm

TM My Juneau, Alaska, Glacier Trek Conjures Harry Houdini and Sir Edmund Hillary By Naomi K. Shapiro Trekking on the Mendenhall Glacier in Juneau, Alaska, brought me to my knees! Not only because it was an awesome experience, but also because I literally tripped and fell while I was doing it! Last fall, when I had three days to experience the multiple offerings of Juneau, Alaska, one of my first acts was to hook up with an adventure outfitter to trek on the Mendenhall Glacier. For this particular outing, they dress you in special gear and helicopter you out to the glacier for a unique, guided hike. When we arrived, two couples were already there for this adventure and, since we'd all been asked for our clothing and shoe sizes in advance (a common procedure for Alaska outings), each person's special gear was laid out on the floor waiting for us. I am what you might call a travel packrat, so I reluctantly gave up my backpack, jacket, shoes, purse, and everything else that I had brought. Imagine losing all your security at once. My mind raced about what to keep camera, film, money, i.d.? Money? Yeah, right! What did I think I was going to buy on a glacier anyway? While I pondered that thought, they whisked away our personal belongings to lockers on the premises. Then they helped us put on waterproof windpants, special jackets, special boots, gaiters (those accessories that wrap-around your ankles and legs to keep out snow and ice), and a harness, which fit around our waist and thighs. Last, they handed us a pair of fleece gloves and a fanny pack containing a bottle of water and an energy bar.

My original plan for this flock was to have a variety of my favorite breeds of hens, including some Partridge Rocks because I have had good luck getting them to brood eggs and raise chicks. I would keep one Partridge Rock rooster to fertilize the eggs and hopefully end up with some purebred Partridge Rocks in the next generation. Answering the phone early one morning before I was fully awake, I agreed to take 3 young birds that my neighbor was getting rid of. It was too early to think straight and I didn't ask the sex until they were in the driveway. Suddenly I had two roosters in my flock. The new rooster was not just new, but he was of a breed (Red Leghorn, I think) that was bred for egg production only, so he would never grow as large as our dual purpose Partridge Rock.
