Notes:
This advertisement for the 'Genius of Escape Who Will Startle and Amaze,' recalls Houdini in one of his earlier and most famous challenge events. On the evening of April 10, 1908, Houdini overcame six padlocked Weed Chains. On Friday evening, May 22, 1908 challenged to outdo himself he performed an even more amazing version of this escape by liberating himself from eight padlocked Weed chains used in combination with two steel-rimmed automobile wheels. For added excitement, handcuffs and leg irons were also employed. Release demanded extreme effort, but Houdini emerged triumphant.
