The illusion itself consists of three parts, as we are told in Houdini's Last Secrets: first, the magician's feet are locked in stocks that bind his legs together in heavy wood and a solid steel lock next, he is suspended in mid-air from his ankles with a restraint brace finally, he is lowered into a glass tank overflowing with water, and the chamber door is locked with steel locks to the top of the chamber.Īfter that, the chamber was then wheeled behind a screen, and an accompanying orchestra would play eerie music for two entire minutes while the audience waited for Houdini to drown. Houdini was famed for being able to escape any kind of binding.
