Soon he extended his repertoire to include chains, ropes slung from skyscrapers, straitjackets under water, and having to escape from and hold his breath inside a sealed milk can with water in it.
He first attracted notice in vaudeville in the United States and then as "Harry ' Handcuff' Houdini" on a tour of Europe, where he challenged police forces to keep him locked up. His pseudonym is a reference to his spiritual master, French magician Robert-Houdin (1805–1871). Harry Houdini ( / h uː ˈ d iː n i/, born Erich Weisz Ma– October 31, 1926) was a Hungarian-American escape artist, magic man, and stunt performer, noted for his escape acts.
