Harry Houdini - Straight Jacket Escape

[@kataisa3]

I'm glad there are some old videos left of Houdini's act. If he had been born earlier modern audiences would never have had the chance to see this legend in action.

[@astrowiz3544]

End The Storm no, born earlier is right. Born later would be if they said modern audiences WOULD get to see this legend in action. But since he said would NEVER, it'd be born earlier.

Maybe not the greatest magician of all time, but probably the most influential and revolutionary. People today are jogging circles around Houdini just because we know so much more about magic now and so many new principles have been devised, but he really made his mark.

Gotta remember it was the 1910s so you would probably get like $10 total from it. But then again rare America currency is worth a lot so just sell all of it for like 10 million dollars and you’re set for life.

[@msaltzma]

What a true talent Houdini was. Even by today's standards, I believe he would still be a huge star. I think Houdini would also appreciate the talented performers of today, as well.

[@LivinhItUp]

Bruh imagine having any sort of video camera back then. The best flex ever...

[@LinkRocks]

They didn't have video back then, it was all filmed on film. It's a miracle that any film from that era survived because it was so fragile but a lot of it has.

[@SlabbyTown]

@@LinkRocks I can’t believe how clear it is

[@bournemouthlass]

I wish I'd been around to see him live. With out Houdini we wouldn't have the likes of Derren Brown, Dynamo etc....he is the giant upon whos shoulders everyone else stands. Truely astounding.

[@Snow3yBodybuilding]

Bad day then, Alexa?

[@PhirePhlame]

alexa rodriguez - I believe that's at least halfway the point of the original comment: no cell phone cameras existed, and as such neither did the urge to film everything. As a result, people just paid attention so they could remember every detail.

[@rullvardi]

I don't know why but I get nostalgic when I see footage from the late 1800s and the early 1900s

[@Robert-oj9vp]

Who would've thought that looking at old footage would make you nostalgic. Curious!

[@rullvardi]

@@Robert-oj9vp Interesting of you to reply to a 4 year-old comment. And I don't think I was necessarily born during that time, that being the reason for my comment - not having actually experianced the time period but still having felt slight nostalgia whilst watching old footage of said time period. Not sure if I still feel it but I certainly did during my comment.

[@psychoPilgrim36]

⁠@@Robert-oj9vp nostalgia is typically felt by people who actually experienced a certain time. This person obviously didnt experience life in the late 1800s and early 1900s so it WOULD be unusual to feel nostalgia for that time
