Houdini (born Erik Weisz) was the son of a Jewish rabbi who emigrated with his family from Hungary to the USA. In his new homeland, the young Erik, now called \u201cHarry\u201d by his friends, embarked on the career of an illusionist. Initially he focused on traditional card tricks, but soon he became famous as a spectacular escape artist: he freed himself from handcuffs,\u00a0chains, ropes, straitjackets, tightly locked boxes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-9030\" src=\"http:\/\/etiudaandanima.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Houdini.jpg\" alt=\"Houdini\" width=\"304\" height=\"175\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The film tells the story of the childhood of the \u201cHandcuff King\u201d. The 12-year old Harry, who is already fascinated with magic, lives with his parents in the town of Appleton where he perfects his tricks. One day he sings up for a big competition organized by the mayor of New York to inaugurate the Statue of Liberty. There he meets the\u00a0great \u201cmage\u201d, Tesla\u2026<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>Little Houdini <\/em>takes us on a fascinating journey through the world at the end of the 19th century, where illusion blends with intellect, and science with magic. With a steampunk touch, Babouche presents the fate of an artist who became the supreme role-model for magicians, gained countless followers and manages to inspire illusionists to date. Apart from Houdini, Babouche\u2019s movie also features another eminent person from that time, Nikola Tesla, a brilliant inventor known for his creative approach to electricity.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">C\u00e9dric Babouche is among the most talented young animators in Europe.
