dini. His real name was Erich
Weiss, and he was the son of
Samuel Mayer Weiss, who had
come to the United States from
Hungary.
Early in his life, young
Erich had been apprenticed to
a locksmith, but soon, thor-
oughly disliking the trade, he
ran away to join a circus.
There he learned to juggle
four balls at once, and to
read a book at the same time.
He sprang to fame by his
handcuff act and sensational
escapes. He allowed himself to
be bound, hand and foot in a
large case, wrapped with ropes
and chains", and placed under
water. He escaped from thou-
sands of straight-jackets, picked
innumerable locks, and freed
himself while hanging from a
derrick in manacles and
straight-jacket.
He would be put in a coffin
which was shut and lowered in
a basin. He remained 90 minutes
there and came out smiling.
"Short breaths and conserva-
tion of oxygen do it," he ex-
plains in his Memoirs.
The strangest stories are told
about the innumerable varia-
tions his clever brain invented
to make the trick always a new
one and leave people gasping
and shaking their heads in
wonder.
A word has come from his
adopted name "Houdini." Ac-
cording to Funk and Wag-
nall's Standard Dictionary, to
"houdinize" means "to release
or extract oneself from con-
finement, bonds, or the like,
as by wriggling out.
When Houdini died in De-
troit, in 1926, his body was
placed in the big air-tight cof-
fin which he used in order to
prove his contention that any-
one could live without air for a
full hour — if he did not let
fear overcome him. According
to The New York Times, it was
his express wish to be buried in
this casket. His remain s,
brought to New York, were
buried in the Machpelah Ceme-
tery, Cypress Hills, L. I. He
left his magnificent magicians'
library to the Library of Con-
gress.
