The Escape King!


The Escape King


Harry Houdini did his first magic trick when he was just six years old. He

made a pea suddenly appear in a cup.

When he was only nine years old, Harry joined a circus. Soon he was

doing amazing escape tricks. People he didn't know came and tied him up.

They sat and watched as he freed himself from the knots.

The next job for Harry was working with a locksmith. He learned how to

pick all sorts of locks. Knowing how to pick locks helped him to do even

more amazing tricks, and very soon he was called the "Escape King".

Once he got out of a coffin which was buried under the ground. Another

time he got into a wooden box which had metal tape all around it. The box

was then dropped into the sea. Harry only took 59 seconds to get out.
