Harry Houdini
Little is known about Harry Houdini’s early life, but many believe the magician was homeless at 12 after running away from home. Allegedly, he spent two years alternating between sleeping on the streets and in shelters.
Houdini never confirmed or denied this story, which aligns with his lifelong dedication to mystery and illusion. It’s fitting that one of history’s greatest escape artists chose to keep parts of his own story hidden.
