Harry Houdini. Budapest, 1874 – Detroit, 1926 Para ayudar en el sustento de su familia, Houdini se subió por primera vez a un escenario a los nueve años actuando como trapecista. Después de trasladarse a Nueva York, a los doce años empezó a interesarse por la magia, pero su gran oportunidad llegó en 1899, cuando se le ofreció un contrato para actuar en los mejores escenarios de vodevil de Estados Unidos. Houdini, por entonces ya conocido como el “Rey de las Esposas”, viajó por toda Europa durante cinco años, y a su regreso a EE.UU. comenzó a ejecutar los desafiantes y peligrosos retos que lo convertirían en uno de los hombres más famosos del mundo, y también en una de las más populares estrellas del cine incipiente. Publicó The Right Way to Do Wrong en 1906 y fue editor de la revista Conjurer”s Monthly Magazine (1906-1907). Su célebre consagración a desenmascarar espiritistas, le llevo a mantener una intensa polémica pública con Arthur Conan Doyle, gran defensor y creyente de estas prácticas. En 1926, tras una actuación, un admirador que había pasado a visitarle al camerino golpeó a un desprevenido Houdini en el estómago para poner a prueba su famoso control muscular. El golpe le rompió el apéndice, y tras sufrir una peritonitis, murió a los 52 años.
