Harry Houdini was a magician,stunt performer,actor and film producer.
He influenced all faces of magic in America.
He was admired as the greatest escape artist in the world.
Let me tell you about one of his most popular stunts.
First,he wore a straitjaket which could't take off easily.
And,he was suspended by his ankles from a tall building or crane.
After flinging his body in the air,he escaped from the straitjacket.
It took just two minutes and thirty-seven seconds to take off his straitjacket.
