Harry Houdini (born Erik Weisz on March 24, 1874) was a Hungarian-born American magician and escapologist, stunt performer, actor and film producer noted for his sensational escape acts. Houdini is still considered one of the greatest illusionists and magicians in history. In addition to his fantastic escapes and stunts, he was also well known in the 1920s for his debunking of fraudulent Spiritualist medium.
Today Google celebrates magician Harry Houdini's 137th birth anniversary with a doodle on its home page.
