Houdini Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Trycacheus: Driving by I see they are starting to remove the shelter belt that Houdini was in. I searched some hoping to find him in the rubble, but don't see any signs of him. I guess it was one of his better disappearing acts. Thanks to everyone for coming out here and finding him.

Geocache Description:

Cache should be an easy find. Opening may require a little magic on your part. No force is needed to open.

Houdini was born March 24th, 1874 in Budapest, Hungary with the name Erik Weisz. He moved to America with his mother and brothers when he was 4. He tried different magic acts trying to become famous. It wasn't until he started doing escape acts that he finally made it big. He was famous for escaping handcuffs, shackles and chains (which has something to do with this cache). In his later years he spent his days disproving spiritualist. He passed away on Halloween 1926 of a ruptured appendix and for 10 years his wife tried contacting him from the dead. Seances are still preformed on the anniversary of his death in several places around the world.
