Harry Houdini - The Life and Training | Learning From Legends

This post explores the life, training, and lessons of Harry Houdini. Houdini was a master escape artist, magician, and showman, but did you know he was also an aviator, inventor, writer, and actor? Moreover, he was a master of muscle control, similar to the old-time strongmen of his era such as The Mighty Atom and Maxick.

This video explores his life, while looking at Houdini's training and the methods he used to master his own body, and pull off some of his most famous stunts and tricks.

Big fan of Houdini. As a magician, his tricks on stage were pretty mundane. His gift was in promotion and creating drama, mostly outside, gathering crowds. Later in life, he spent a good deal of time debunking spiritualists, exposing them as frauds. As a student of physical culture he was exceptional. He did spend a lot of effort to learn how to control his autonomic systems. And he knew the secret of all great magic...unrelenting practice. I always thought of The Mighty Atom as the world's first real life superhero. But Houdini would fit in there nicely too.

Muscle control was not invented by maxick.. his book may have got a lot of popularity but muscle control was invented in east and not all but a major part of it comes from Hatha Yoga of which stomach vacuum is a good example ..what happened was west was good at patenting stuff and lot of eastern knowledge coming from many different disciplines was patented by west.
