  1. Dear Luke,

    This is a really neat post! I learned a lot! I like how in the first paragraph, you said his most famous show, and then you explained what the Chinese Water Torture Trap was. Houdini definitely had a huge impact on many of the magicians today. He was inspiring, determined and creative. Thanks for sharing!
