Harry Houdini’s Impulse to Escape

To watch Harry Houdini perform was to see a man rush headlong toward death – only to escape it at the last possible moment. He overcame our darkest nightmares: drowning, suffocation, being trapped. No lock could hold him. No entertainer could outdazzle him. He took his audiences to the brink of tragedy and left them breathless with fear.

HOUDINI was originally broadcast in 2011.
