EDITORS COMMENTS
In this thrilling photograph, the legendary magician Harry Houdini is seen suspended from the cornice of a New York City skyscraper, with chains securing his feet and hands. The towering building looms ominously in the background, its glass windows reflecting the bright sunlight. The expression on Houdini's face is a mix of determination and concentration as he attempts to perform one of his most daring stunts. The history of this iconic image dates back to 1914, when Houdini, known for his death-defying escapes, decided to add a new trick to his repertoire. He announced that he would be suspended from the cornice of a New York City skyscraper and would have to free himself from the chains before plummeting to the ground. The stunt was met with a mixture of excitement and concern, as many believed that this was one trick too many for the magician. Despite the risks involved, Houdini was determined to go through with the stunt. With the help of a team of engineers and safety experts, he was secured to the building with strong ropes and chains. Thousands of spectators gathered below to witness the event, which was also broadcast live on the radio. As the clock ticked down, Houdini began his attempt to free himself from the chains. With a combination of agility, strength, and magic, he managed to slip out of the chains and make his way back to safety. The crowd erupted in cheers, and Houdini had once again proven that he was a master of illusion and escape. This photograph captures the tension and excitement of that moment in history, as Houdini hangs precariously from the edge of a New York City skyscraper, with the entire city holding its breath to see if he will make it. The image is a testament to the power of magic and the human spirit, and remains an enduring symbol of the incredible feats that Houdini was able to accomplish during his legendary career.
