Houdinis secrets arent that special.
in the book "the life and many deaths of Harry Houdini" they talk a lot about how he used to just exaggerate shit = and that fooled the public.
Now just remember he lived in an age where peopel were less educated (for the most part) there was no access to TVs and magazines or such for information.
All he used to do was stick a really big padlock on and peopel thought it must be REALLY hard to get out just because the padlock was BIG (which actually makes it EASIER to get out)
ppl were just more stupid and gullible back then.
My ex is a successful magician here in Oz I used to assist him - I got offered a job to work with Silver grand Magic as the assistant and I can tell you the 3 most basic principles of magic:
Black on black is invisible
smoke puffs are your best friend
there's no obstacle a set of felixible identical twins cant fix
