Yep, knew that. Houdini jumped into our Yarra River while chained and locked and freed himself.

Colour me clueless.

CJ Kennedy said...

Yup. I learned that by watching "Houdini" (1953) starring Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh.

Jamie Ghione said...

This I recall hearing somewhere.

Birgit said...

Yup, I knew that. I've watched documentaries on him. I bet he had ehlers-danlos like me, because he could dislocate his shoulders and reset them. I knew the name but, if you would have given me a trivia question I would have not been able yo re all it. It sounds German but I think he was Jewish from Poland??? I have to look that up.

I didn't know that :) xo

Janie Junebug said...

Yes, I did know. I saw a documentary about him, and long ago, a made-for-tv movie. Oh, and the movie that starred Tony Curtis. Apparently a lot of incorrect information about him was disseminated over the years.

Love,
Janie
