Dorothy Dietrich ran off in her early teens to New York to be a magician, as Houdini did. Here she shows some Houdini posters and does her signature Hot Dog bit. First woman to gain prominence as an escape artist since the days of Houdini, breaking the glass ceiling in that field.


She is the founder of The Houdini Museum, the only building in the world totally devoted to Houdini. Dietrich is the first and only woman to accomplish the Catching of a Bullet in her mouth, often called "The Jinxed Bullet Catch" and The Trick that scared Houdini. At least 12 men have died attempting this feat. Ms. Dietrich now holds the World's record in several categories. Dorothy Dietrich is often called "The Female Houdini" , "The World's #1 Woman Magician" and was the first to be called "The First Lady of Magic" ™. Columbia University Press and Encyclopedia called her "one of the most noted magicians of the late 20th century. http://DorothyDietrich.com or check out her page on wikipedia.
