I don't see why this is so amazing. I believe that most people would be able to wriggle out of rope. There was no special technique or "magic", it was just lots of squirming and rocking.
@2pacinseattle the "magic" is in that he did it in ten seconds and its not as if that was like a square knot, plus this is way before any modern magicians where a simple card sleight is like front page news...
@jtimpe31 He was actually in jail for a few hours before the owner of the theatre he was performing at bailed out all of his performers from. Houdini and his wife Bess included.
they look so tuff on him
