Harry Houdini’s underwater box escape made headlines every time he performed the stunt, and it was one of his most popular for that very reason. Hundreds of people would gather to watch the master illusionist achieve what seemed to be impossible, getting out of handcuffs and shackles while trapped inside a wooden box that had been dropped into a river. Harry Houdini could escape the box & shackles in less than two and one-half minutes and resurfaces two hundred and fifty feet down the river from where he had been thrown in, and was hauled aboard a rescue boat. It was not until he was back on the boat deck that the box floated up to the surface.
