Bill Martin as Harry Houdini

Harry Houdini, the greatest Magician, escape artist, and showman of his time, began as Erich Weiss, a Jewish immigrant kid from Budapest. He became known as "The Great Self Liberator" to the new American immigrants who were searching for economic independence, social justice, and freedom at the turn of the 20th century. His daring and dangerous escapes became metaphors for personal freedom and newfound belief in themselves.
