What things has Houdini accomplished?

Harry Houdini (born Ehrich Weiss; March 24, 1874 – October 31, 1926) was a Hungarian-born American illusionist, stunt performer, and actor who is best known for his escape acts. Houdini performed several daring stunts, including escaping from straightjackets, chains, and sealed containers. He also performed other magical acts, such as levitation and teleportation. Houdini's feats of daring and skill made him a world-famous celebrity.

Some of Houdini's most famous accomplishments include:

* Escaping from a straitjacket while suspended upside down from a crane over the Thames River in London.

* Escaping from a sealed milk can that was submerged in a water tank.

* Escaping from a Chinese water torture cell, where he was suspended upside down in a tank of water with his hands and feet chained.

* Escaping from a coffin that was buried underground for six feet.

* Walking through a brick wall.

* Levitating several feet off the ground.

In addition to his escape acts, Houdini also performed other magical acts, such as card tricks, coin tricks, and mind-reading. He was also a skilled ventriloquist and a performer of magic tricks.

Houdini's career spanned more than three decades, and he performed all over the world. He was a master of showmanship and suspense, and his acts were always met with great applause. Houdini died on October 31, 1926, after being punched in the abdomen during a performance. Despite his death, Houdini's legacy as a master magician and escape artist remains alive today.
