Title: [Houdini and the water torture cell]
Date Created/Published: [ca. 1913]
Notes:
In 1913, Houdini began to feature his escape from the Water Torture Cell, also known as the Upside Down or U.S.D. In a dramatic routine that eclipsed the very popular Giant Milk Can escape, Houdini, his ankles secured in stocks, was submerged and locked in place in full view of the audience. One of his posters described the feat in the following terms: 'The world famous self-liberator HOUDINI, presenting the greatest performance of his strenuous career, liberating himself after being locked in a WATER TORTURE CELL (Houdini's own invention) whilst standing on his head, his ankles clamped and locked above the center of the Massive Cover. A FEAT WHICH BORDERS ON THE SUPERNATURAL.'
