Houdini's Last Secrets

Houdini's Last Secrets

Description: Cracking a magician's code used to be strictly against industry standards. Now, it seems the magic has disappeared from that concept, and even legendary performers such as Harry Houdini are not immune. This series looks to uncover the methods to Houdini's breathtaking escapes and astonishing illusions, which have never been equalled or fully understood. How did this showman catch a speeding bullet, submerge himself in a water torture cell, or survive being buried alive? Helping piece together clues and testing out his most daring stunts are Houdini's grand-nephew George Hardeen, magician and daredevil Lee Terbosic, and master stunt builder Steve Wolf.
