The segment covering the Bullet Catch was the most riveting to this watcher. My big heart goes out posthumously to all the magicians who tragically tried and died! In the case of The Wizard of the North, Anderson, he was not only lucky that the fellow backed down from firing but also BRILLIANT afterward, to have so exploited the moment -- nerves of steel and showmanship !!

Let me school you in two different ways amigo, so listen up. Humor is subjective. If YOU knew thing 1 about humor you'd know that already. Lesson two is, if someone makes a joke and you don't find it funny, its not your job to find it and point it out wherever you might find it. That would make you what we actually funny people like to call: a humorless asshole. If you're not convinced of your new status as humorless asshole consider this: you came to my comment to try and make me feel bad, wheras I left the comment on the video to make someone laugh. In light of what you're doing, my advice for next time? Can it! Class dismissed.

No that is how the sword swallowers train themselves but has nothing to do with Houdini whatsoever. Now you may say how do you know this Jamie ? Are you some sort of expert in the art of escapology ? Have you ever risked your life to entertain a crowd doing escapes Jamie ? Have you ever hung from a burning rope in straight jacket Jamie ? And the answer would be yes lol this is my area of expertise not being a smartass but swallowing things was not how he did any of his escapes

I was watching the Grand Illusions of magic part 1 it shows a lot of different Illusionist Houdini and Siegfried a Roy in a comment in there they said who knows how long they would have went on what age did they would have retired because they were getting up in age and one of the gentleman said it never came up in a conversation with him he said hopefully they would have went on for a long time but unfortunately it didn't I wish they were still here and I turn magic what's going on it's sad that they are gone as well as many of the other great Illusionist they also said no Illusionist coming in every day in my own words no one can replace Siegfried and Roy and no one will be ever be able to replace David Copperfield when he's gone

"Houdini is the Dark Souls of Magic"

everytime i think ab david i come watch this

They missed a few things. Robert Houdin claimed to have invented all of his effects when in fact like everyone else he built on the inventions of others. For example the orange tree is based on the Mango production done by Indian street magicians for time immemorial. The rest of that, the appearance of marked objects in oranges is as old as magic. Mind reading is also ancient.An old book I once read reveals a code (part of one) used in the 18th century. Houdin probably got the principal from a Gypsy and updated the code to suit his needs. Houdin's code was in French, Houdini's in English and the best I have seen, the three Campa brothers who each performs separately with his wife, being Mexican use Spanish. The Campa brothers claim to not be Gypsy but each of their wives does private readings, (fortune telling). You also missed why Houdini was so strongly against spiritualists. He was convinced that it was possible to communicate beyond the grave. One book says, contrary to the video that Houdini was under the Detroit River lost under the ice because the rope leading through the hole broke, when his mother died and that Houdini claimed that his mother's voice led him to the hole. True or not Houdini was convinced that it was possible to communicate with the dead and very upset that all he could find were frauds using the techniques he used himself. He had a prize offered to anyone who could prove actual communication with the dead. This inspired The Amazing Randi's ongoing million dollar challenge. Only Houdini wanted to pay and got more and more upset when no one earned it, and Randi is looking for publicity and does not expect to ever have to pay.

Despite the oscillation of Roy's story about the attack (at his most lucid and honest moments, he admitted that the animal attacked him) the damage inflicted by the tiger was career ending, normalcy ending and nearly life ending. The attack ended Siegfried & Roy's careers. Watching the close calls they had over the years - it is surprising that the *Mirage* (where the attack took place) was willing to risk the safety of their audience with unrestrained, fully equipped wild animals on stage. Once again, wild animals were showcased as somehow not being wild, and Roy's relationship with them somehow being magical and transcendent of the natural order of the animal's constitution - being wild. A commonality of people who are killed by animals which have no business interacting with humans as if they were domesticated. "Not me - not my animal. We're different." Famous last words.
