Is this about Houdini's life?? I don't understnd what is it about! I know about Houdini but...

This looks immense! Can't wair for it to come out! Really good actors and the story looks great too.

I liked the biographical film "Houdini" from 1953 about the life of the magician and escapologist Harry Houdini W./Tony Curtis & Janet Leigh...I wonder how this is going to be!

how did houdini die?

I LOVE HOUDINI!! Muy buena la pelicula

I love Guy as an actor he is so great!

Pretty interesting. It's been a while since I've seen a Guy Pearce film so I'm excited. Thanks for posting.

As his fame as a "ghostbuster" grew, Houdini took to attending séances in disguise, accompanied by a reporter and police officer. Possibly the most famous medium whom he debunked was the Boston medium Mina Crandon, also known as "Margery". Houdini chronicled his debunking exploits in his book, A Magician Among the Spirits.

In the 1920s, after the death of his beloved mother, Cecilia, he turned his energies toward debunking self-proclaimed psychics and mediums. Houdini's magical training allowed him to expose frauds who had successfully fooled many scientists and academics. He was a member of a Scientific American committee, which offered a cash prize to any medium who could successfully demonstrate supernatural abilities. The prize was never collected.
