Harry Houdini Researcher: Rachel Sahlman Artist: Dick Strandberg The world's most famous magician, Harry Houdini was born as Ehrich Weisz in Budapest, Hungary on March 24, 1874. His father, Mayer Samuel Weisz, was a religious scholar and teacher, who moved his family to Appleton, Wisconsin when Houdini was two years old. Times were difficult for the Weisz family, and they were required to move many times to avoid the bill collectors. Because of the family's financial situation, all of the children began to work at an early age. When Houdini was eight years old, he sold newspapers and worked as a bootblack. However after his father took him to see Dr. Lynn, a traveling magician, Houdini's interest in performing soon consumed him. At the age of 12, Houdini ran away from home and ended up in Kansas City. He was gone for approximately one year, but then rejoined his family in their new home in New York City. In New York, Houdini held various jobs to support his family. He spent his free time studying magic and competing in various athletic events, including swimming and track. During this time, Houdini happened upon a book entitled "The Memoirs of Robert-Houdin, Ambassador, Author, and Conjuror, Written by Himself." The book changed his life. Houdini added an "i" to his idol's name and assumed the name that would go down in history.

Harry Houdini Houdini's actual name was Ehrich Weiss. Houdini's actual birthplace and date. The performer known world wide as Harry Houdini was born on March 24, 1874 in Budapest. Although Houdini often claimed to be born in Appleton, Wisconsin, Houdini actually came to the United States when he was four years old. To this day many connected with the small town of Appleton still claim the untruth that Houdini was born there strictly to attract tourists.

Houdini's early years. Houdini's father was Mayer Samuel Weiss. Houdini's father was a Rabbi. His father for a short time was Rabbi for the German Zoin Jewish Congregation in Appleton. His mother's name was Cecilia Steiner Weiss. Houdini's original family pictures are on display at the Houdini Museum in Scranton, Pennsylvania in the Pocono region. His parents spoke only Yiddish, Hungarian, and German.The family was quite poor so most of the children began to work at an early age. From the age of eight young Ehrich Weiss (Erik Weisz) sold newspapers and worked as a shoe shine boy. Please note that when coming ot the United States there were often many spellings of names as people adjusted to English. At the age of 12, young Ehrich left home to make his way in the world in an attempt to help support his family. This was a great sign of independance. This is contrary to those who incorrectly claim he was overly obsessed with his mother. However he did love her very much.

Harry Houdini By Peter von Marensdorff February 8, 1999 Mrs. Walker’s 3 rd Grade Class Trinity Episcopal School Harry Houdini could get out of any handcuff, lock or chain without breaking it. Houdini was born March 24, 1874 in Budapest, Hungary. His family moved to Appleton, Wisconsin when he was a toddler. Houdini’s real name was Ehrich Weiss. Among his siblings, who were Gladys, Leopold, Theodore, Bill and Nat, Theodore Hardeen was closest to his age, and later followed him in magic. His mother, Cecilia Stiener Weiss and his father, Rabbi Mayer Samuel Weiss were very proud of him. Ehrich Weiss was very interested in locks and reading books about magic at an early age. For example, when Ehrich was older (9-12) he liked to watch and be in circuses. Ehrich practiced tricks every day such as walking tightropes, picking up pins with his eyelids, and getting out of ropes. Ehrich prepared for doing tricks by getting up an hour earlier than his family, doing exercise, and having his brother tie him up. When Ehrich was older, he earned a little money by selling newspapers, polishing shoes, chopping firewood, and being a messenger boy. Ehrich changed his name to Houdini when he was older because there was a famous magician named Houdin.

20. The American Experience | Houdini | People & Events | Harry Houdini From the PBS network a short biography. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/houdini/peopleevents/pande04.html

Harry Houdini (1874-1926) Few performers have ever captured the public imagination like Harry Houdini. From his breakthrough in 1899 to his death in 1926, Houdini was one of the world's most popular entertainers, a true star of stage and screen. Time and again, his escapes from seemingly impossible predicaments thrilled audiences, who found in him a metaphor for their own lives, an affirmation of the human capacity to overcome adversity. Escapism in both senses of the word. But while nearly everyone is familiar with Houdini's stage persona, his little-known personal life is equally revealing. Taken as a whole, the public and private views make "The Elusive American" a uniquely powerful window on his times. His love of America was such that he always claimed Appleton, Wisconsin, as his birthplace. But the man known as Houdini was actually born Ehrich Weiss in Budapest, Hungary. He would not arrive in Wisconsin until four years later, when he, his mother Cecelia, and four brothers joined his father, who had become rabbi of a small Reform congregation there. Although an educated man, Herman Mayer Weiss (Weisz was changed to Weiss courtesy of immigration officials) was not destined for success in America. His life-long struggle to provide for his family would make a lasting impression on his son "Ehrie," who was forced to work from an early age to help make ends meet. Still, the boy was drawn to performing, making his debut in a neighborhood circus as the nine year old trapeze artist, "Ehrich, The Prince of the Air."
