This old footage is of gem quality when you think of the technology back then. Houdini was and is a true master of his craft. He was a "money generating machine". His work was historically significant in that he paved new roads into the world of deception and imaginative entertainment. A marvelous example of his early work. Such a unique character.

Houdini had several ways to escape from handcuffs: 1 - Hitting the handcuffs: He could hit the handcuffs at a certain angle and with enough force to spring them open. 2 - Using a string: He could use a thin piece of string to pull a screw from the locking mechanism. 3 - Using a key: He could hide a skeleton key in his palm or sleeve. Houdini also escaped from the Washington, D.C. jail that once held Charles Guiteau, the assassin of President James A. Garfield.
