Here's a video of Robin Fox's recreation of the infamous Houdini-Hodgson challenge during the UKEA convention at Shrewsbury Prison last weekend. The purpose of my "challenge" was to gain a better understanding of exactly how Houdini was manacled, and they certainly did that! Enjoy.
Thanks to Dave Cox for the kind shoutout to my site. There are some excellent escape and Houdini-related videos on Dave's YouTube channel, CoxysPicks. I recommend having a browse. And a big congratulations to Robin Fox and the UKEA for successfully re-staging this historic escape.
That was so awesome to watch! Now I have an idea for how the Hodgson Challenge went! This must’ve been so painful for Houdini. Especially of him being young and it’s only a few years into his official escapology career! - Abby Martin
