![]() Houdini, 47, was not only the world’s most famous magician but also its most famous debunker. The bold gambit was one of the most storied events in the modern history of magic. 6, 1922, 27-year-old magician Dai Vernon broke this rule before the toughest of audiences: Harry Houdini. But the magician who gives his audience a second chance to catch him out always slips up eventually, especially if the audience includes an eagle-eyed fellow magician. The temptation can be excruciating: The trick has already proven its ability to fool, and the audience has proven its susceptibility. The most important rule of magic - other than remembering to check for rabbit-droppings before putting your hat back on - is never to perform the same illusion twice on the same occasion. ![]() Hand of Fate – Card trick that stumped the great Harry Houdini June 13, 2011 ![]()
