Sad ending. I read that Erik Weisz adopted the stage name "Harry Houdini" after reading Eugene Robert-Houdin's autobiography in 1890. Houdini added an "i" to the name "Houdin" because he mistakenly believed that the letter "i" at the end of a name meant "like" in French. In Hungarian, “i" at the end of a name means "belong to".
