Harry Houdini (/huːˈdiːni/; born Erik Weisz, later Ehrich Weiss or Harry Weiss; March 24, 1874 - October 31, 1926) was a Hungarian-born American illusionist and stunt performer, noted for his sensational escape acts. He first attracted notice in vaudeville in the US and then as "Harry 'Handcuff' Houdini" on a tour of Europe, where he challenged police forces to keep him locked up. Soon he extended his repertoire to include chains, ropes slung from skyscrapers, straitjackets under water, and having to escape from and hold his breath inside a sealed milk can with water in it.
Harry Houdini died of peritonitis, secondary to a ruptured appendix, at 1:26 p.m. on October 31, 1926, in Room 401 at Detroit's Grace Hospital, aged 52. In his final days, he believed that he would recover, but his last words before dying were reportedly, "I'm tired of fighting... I do not want to fight anymore..."
Really interesting video, thank you Scott. Such a shame family members declined his wife to be laid to rest with him because of their different religions. So sad that people think that way
Thanks for this video. I’m a Detroiter and always love hearing these old stories.
Thank you for watching !!
Noises can be heard in what was a mortuary. My aunt lived in apartments that used to be one . Foot steps and water running was a sure thing
Fascinating Scott!! He was so amazing! Tragic he didn't get medical help sooner. Thank you for the knowledge and intrigue.
This was awesome, I really enjoyed this one! I would so love to see his grave someday. Happy Halloween!!
Houdini was a personal friend of my grandad. Love this.
Love all your Detroit vids dude! Was born there, now in Phoenix. Try to get back every summer. Thanx man!
There was a bunch of orbs flying around when you showed the morgue then they disappeared. Wow!!
This was such a cool video about Houdini Scotty. I loved it. Read about him and his work but it felt rather special looking at the different locations with you. Looking at his photos I always felt that I liked him and i think he had a kind and gentle face. Maybe when you are in New York next time you could visit his grave. It will be a nice tribute to him. Thank you Scotty. Safe travels. Take care. Lots of love from all of us.❤️✌🏼🙏🏼💕
Love the video. I am New to your channel and absolutely love it, I have spent most of the week watching your old videos. Keep it up. Amazing.
Thanks so much Scott. Love the name 😏😏
Houdini is a personal hero of mine. It was cool to be in a theatre in which he performed while I was there. Great video and Happy Halloween! 🎃
THIS Is Going To Be GOOD!! SO EXCITED!!
Great vlog! There are some beautiful old buildings there it is a shame Detroit is letting the funeral home just go to waste.
Love your videos please do more movie locations!!
Harry Houdini's grave site is in terrible condition, all overgrown and just uncared for IMO. Such a shame really. Loving the vids 😄 Forgot to mention Happy Halloween🎃👹👺👻👹👺👻
Always have been fascinated with Houdini, so I loved this video. And the Henry Ford and Eminem connection is so interesting. Another cool/great video.
The legend dying on Halloween who would I’ve thought 🎃
Great video as usual Scott , thank you for educating us, very interesting. ♥️
Another great video!! Peace and love thanks 🙏❤
Love watching your vlogs, as it's places I know I will never get to see/visit in my lifetime, and also love how you tell their stories/lifestyle... So informative, yet beautifully documented. It's said that Houdini's wife gave away a lot of his things after he passed away, and didn't keep it or donate it to museums for future generations to be able to see. But I suppose grief/anger whatever the emotion does a lot of different things to people at the time and I doubt she knew how popular he would still be in the future. But thank you for always bringing interesting places, facts and respect (and sometimes fun or heart-felt emotion where needed) to all those lives that you document. Always fascinating to watch and learn about these people, and see places they were at. Much love to you n yours Scott. Xx
Great choice for a Holloween vlog and I did enjoy very much! Another great one Scott!
He was placed in his bronze prop coffin at the Hamilton funeral home and shipped via train back to NY. My family still has all the stories of all the famous people they buried.
Awesome video Scott-Happy Halloween!! 🧡🧛🏻♀️👻💀🖤🎃😘
Thank you for this video I liked it very much
Im Hungarian and Houidini was born in Hungary, Budapest. I know the house from outside, where he lived and imigrant from that house into the USA! Best regards,
Lets go back here, i've always wanted to go here. Iwill get in & film it for you!
It's nice to learn about Houdini's connection to my home town. I was born in Grace Hospital.
Really amazing video, thanks Scott.
Thats my families funeral home. The chapel was added to the house in 1930. Henry Fords body was prepped there but the funeral was at a church.
Does your family still in own it?
@@SCOTTONTAPE No sir they sold it to the School 1980s. Business was still operating in Birmingam until my Cousins Death. Look up William R. Co. Started in 1870s and served Detroits most prominent.
Great vid Scott !
Happy Halloween Scott!!! Enjoying the video!

The one building looks like was abandoned, The one that was beside the funeral home. It would have been nice that they kept the buildings the way they were back in the day

I imagine a lot of important people in the Detroit area went through that funeral home. I wonder why it has not been reused or remodeled. Thanks. See you later.
