Heh, not to sound like an old fogey, but you'd be surprised what gets called "music" these days, and I don't necessarily mean that in a bad way.
I am open to experimenting with the "theme music" to see if I can come up with something I like better, but this will be it for now. If people really don't like it, I suppose they can hit their mute buttons for the first 20 seconds of each vid, LOL.
(Cont'd): Perhaps this apocryphal story of Houdini's childhood is based on something that really happened in his fifth year---perhaps he really did almost drown, and then spent the rest of his life trying to overcome the fear induced by that trauma by making himself into a strong-man, capable of handling anything that came his way. Interesting that the two times he really injured himself badly were while he was transiting Mars retrograde in Taurus. Hmm... Fascinating stuff.
That "DOO-DOOOOM" music is very annoying. Otherwise, awesome job! It's funny how there's a lot of weird numerical coincidences about Houdini's life too, such as the fact that he died at 52 years of age in the 1926---full deck of cards, half deck of cards.
There is a story that Houdini was swimming with his brothers and some friends in the a river when he was young, and that he was swept away by the current, and nearly drowned before he was rescued. (Cont'd)...

Well at least Whitehead asked for his permission - I had always imagined it was a sneak punch that did it.
What music? All I hear is a sound effect; it fits perfectly with the fireworks in the titles (burning magnesium, the metal of Uranus).

I've been waiting to hear a comment about the theme music. Maybe I'll try something with a kazoo instead.
