  Harry Houdini - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Houdini was born on March 24, 1874 in Budapest, Hungary, of Jewish background.
Houdini died of peritonitis from a ruptured appendix on Halloween, October 31, 1926, at the age of 52.
Houdini left a final sting for his spiritualist opponents: shortly before his death, he had made a pact with his wife, Bess Houdini, to contact her from the other side if possible and deliver a pre-arranged coded message.

Harry Houdini (March 24, 1874 - October 31, 1926) was the stage name of Ehrich Weiss (born Weisz Erik in the native Hungarian), one of the most famous magicians, escapologists, and stunt performers of all time.
In the 1920s, after the death of his beloved mother, he turned his energies toward debunking self-proclaimed psychics and mediums, a pursuit that would inspire and be followed by latter-day magicians James Randi and P.C. Sorcar.
A long-standing part of Houdini's act was to ask a member of the audience to punch him in the abdomen in order to demonstrate but Houdini was reclining on his couch after his performance, in this instance, and was struck several times, without the opportunity to prepare himself for the blows.

Side Effects Software's Houdini is a very high-end 3D animation package that is often preferred over Maya or XSI in pure visual effects, as opposed to character animation.
Houdini uses this procedural paradigm throughout for textures and shaders, particles, "channel data" (data used to drive animation), and even in rendering/ post-processing (combining/compositing multiple renders is not directly supported within Maya).
Houdini is unique in its very rich set of tools, leading to a higher learning curve than other comparable tools.

Software designers are struggling to generate more effective illusions for purposes of communicating to their users the design model of their applications (Heckel, Laurel, Norman, 1983, 1986, 1988, Rubinstein and Hersh, Shneiderman, 1992).
Houdini, the great escape artist, was famous for his Milk-Can Escape in which he was squeezed, half-naked and hand-cuffed, into a three-foot tall vessel brimming with water.
Houdini’s fondness for reading extended to magazines, too: after his famous escape from inside a locked safe behind a screen, which took mere seconds, he spent the next fifteen minutes back stage, idly reading a magazine, after which he dotted himself with water and burst forth, looking properly sweaty and exhausted (Daws and Setterington).
