The History Channel's four-hour scripted mini-series "Houdini" unveils even more of the secrets behind the greatest magician of all time. His ability to escape from handcuffs, straitjackets, and water tanks is legendary—breaking the shackles of his past proved more challenging. The story follows the world-renowned master of escape's transformation from immigrant into the world's first superstar. Driven, disciplined, and actively chasing the American Dream, Houdini constantly pushed his physical limits to accomplish feats of strength that amazed audiences in an age of spectacle. And though they saw what he wanted them to see, his reality was more elusive than his escapes. Based on the book "Houdini: A Mind In Chains: A Psychoanalytic Portrait" by Bernard C. Meyer, M.D. (Gary Reber)
