Today marks the 150th birthday of the famous magician and escapologist Harry Houdini. I was surprised to learn that Harry celebrated two birthdays: one on his actual birthdate and a public one on the 6th of July. I am not an expert on Houdini, but this fact was new to me. I have written a short blog post on this topic for those interested in the details. The blog post also showcases two pocket watches that the great illusionist and magician once owned.

Happy Birthday, Harry!
