Description
Wrapped in chains and encased in a crate, magician Harry Houdini was dropped into New York's icy East River. Horrified onlookers watched him emerge, unharmed, less than 60 seconds later.

A circus performer turned gifted artist, Houdini confronted humanity's greatest fears: entrapment, pain, and death.
