Podcast appearances and mentions of erik weisz

Erik Weisz alias Harry Houdini kam 1874 in Budapest, dem damaligen Österreich-Ungarn, zur Welt. Er machte Weltkarriere, besonders gefährlich wurde es in Russland.

Harry Houdini fue un mago judío húngaro nacido en 1874. Su nombre real era Erik Weisz, hijo del rabino Mayer Samuel Weisz, quien lo llevó a Estados Unidos cuando apenas tenía cuatro años, en la época de la gran ola migratoria proveniente de Europa. La difícil situación económica que atravesaba su familia, lo llevó a trabajar desde sus ocho años vendiendo periódicos y lustrando zapatos, y años después en una cerrajería, donde conoció los diferentes mecanismos de los candados y cerraduras. Durante su tiempo libre estudiaba magia y practicaba gimnasia y natación, aprendizaje clave en su posterior éxito. Junto a su hermano Theo formaron una pareja de magia que actuaba en espectáculos de comedia teatral, hasta que conoció a Beatrice Rahner, una cantante y bailarina que se convirtió en su esposa y nueva compañera de trabajo. Houdini adoptó su nombre artístico, inspirado en el mago francés Jean Eugene Robert Houdin, a quien admiraba profundamente. En 1898, se acercó al judío Martín Beck, quien lo ayudó a convertirse en el “Rey de las esposas.” Un camino que lo llevó a construir actos de fuga, como salir de sacos cerrados con cadenas, soltarse de camisas de fuerza y escapar de cajas de tortura llenas de agua. Sus trucos de magia fueron relacionados con el espiritismo, una corriente que él mismo persiguió y tildó de falsedad. Lo que en realidad caracterizó sus actos, fue su ingenio, conocimiento y el dominio de la tecnología de la época, provocando ilusiones con movimientos secretos que dejaron fascinados a los espectadores. Houdini también protagonizó películas de cine mudo, fue pionero de la aviación, editor, escritor, pero sin duda siempre será recordado como uno de los ilusionistas y escapistas más famosos de la historia.

Es considerado el mejor ilusionista y escapista de la historia. Su repertorio incluía escapismo de cuerdas colgando de rascacielos, cadenas, camisas de fuerza bajo el agua, contener la respiración dentro de una lata de leche o desafiar a las fuerzas policiales a mantenerlo recluido en prisión. Su nombre real es Erik Weisz, aunque todo el mundo lo conoce como Harry Houdini, el nombre que eligió para ser nacionalizado estadounidense. Pero, ¿sabías que, además de mago, escapista e ilusionista fue… espía?

Harry Houdini fue un ilusionista estadounidense de origen judío, cuyo verdadero nombre era Ehrich Weiss, quien nació el 24 de marzo de 1874. Como casi todos los grandes personajes, su vida y su muerte están envueltas en un gran misterio. Erik Weisz nació en 1874 en Hungría, pero desde los cuatro años emigró a Estados Unidos junto con sus padres. Debutó como mago a los 15 años, pero fue hasta los 26 cuando se decidió a probar suerte con los actos de escapismo que lo volverían una leyenda mundial; y también cambió su nombre a Harry Houdini en honor al francés Jean Eugène Robert-Houdin, “el padre de la magia moderna”. La “Cámara de tortura china” fue su acto más peligroso. Consistía en un contenedor lleno de agua en el cual Houdini era introducido atado de pies y manos con esposas y cadenas. Otro truco era “Escape del bidón de leche”, en el que se metía y del que luego salía después de varios minutos como si nada hubiera pasado.

A short story of four showmen     William Frederick "Buffalo Bill" Cody (February 26, 1846 – January 10, 1917) was an American soldier, bison hunter and showman. He was born in the Iowa Territory (now the U.S. state of Iowa), in Le Claire but lived several years in Canada before his family moved to the Kansas Territory. Buffalo Bill received the Medal of Honor in 1872 for service to the US Army as a scout. One of the most colorful figures of the American Old West, Buffalo Bill became famous for the shows he organized with cowboy themes, which he toured in Great Britain and Europe as well as the United States.    19 year old william cody   At the age of 14, Cody was struck by gold fever, but on his way to the gold fields, he met an agent for the Pony Express. He signed with them, and after building several stations and corrals, Cody was given a job as a rider, which he kept until he was called home to his sick mother's bedside.[1]    Cody earned the nickname by killing 4,280 American bison (commonly known as buffalo) in eighteen months, (1867–1868).[ In 1889, the show toured Europe, and in 1890 Cody met Pope Leo XIII. He set up an independent exhibition near the Chicago World's Fair of 1893, which greatly contributed to his popularity. It vexed the promoters of the fair, who had first rejected his request to participate.                                                                                                                                                                                    Phineas Taylor Barnum (July 5, 1810 – April 7, 1891) was an American showman, businessman, scam artist and entertainer, remembered for promoting celebrated hoaxesand for founding the circus that became the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus.[1]   Late in 1860, the Siamese Twins, Chang and Eng, came out of retirement (they needed more money to send their numerous children to college). The Twins had had a touring career on their own and went to live on a North Carolina plantation with their families and slaves, under the name of "Bunker." They appeared at Barnum's Museum for six weeks. Also in 1860, Barnum introduced the "man-monkey" William Henry Johnson, a microcephalic black dwarf who spoke a mysterious language created by Barnum.     Jenny Lind     Harry Houdini (born Erik Weisz in Budapest, later Ehrich Weiss or Harry Weiss; March 24, 1874 – October 31, 1926) was an American stunt performer, noted for his sensationalescape acts      The mahogany and metal cell featured a glass front, through which audiences could clearly see Houdini. The stocks would be locked to the top of the cell, and a curtain would conceal his escape. In the earliest version of the Torture Cell, a metal cage was lowered into the cell, and Houdini was enclosed inside that. While making the escape more difficult
