Episode Synopsis
Born Erik Weisz in 1874, Harry Houdini became the most famous escape artist in history—and one of the most fascinating figures of the early 20th century. In this episode of Dave Does History, we explore the real man behind the myths: from his daring milk can and water torture cell escapes to his battles with spiritualists, his short-lived film career, and even his aviation adventures. Houdini was more than a magician—he was a showman, a skeptic, and a symbol of defiance. Join us as we unlock the life, the legacy, and the final mystery of Harry Houdini.
