Wait what?
@16:10
Ryan missed the point there, Houdini didn't go after every side-show magician, he went after only the ones who claimed they are doing miracles.
Houdini believed tricks are meant for entertainment, not for luring vulnerable people and making money out of them.
I agree. Ig Ryan confused it with him trying to get revenge or something, which wasn't true. He himself proclaimed that all he did was trick, nd said the same for every other person doing it. I agree with Houdini tbh. Plus he exposing the side tricks is his choice. As Shane said, if someone has th power to do that to him, they can do it, Houdini never stopped them from doing that...
EXACTLY! I didn't think Houdini did it to take down other performers, he wanted to battle those claims of supernatural/otherworldly powers
Houdini was active against con men and charlatans prior to the Doyles stunt, however he did go on a vendetta to prove ALL spiritualism was fake and no more supernatural than anything he did. But there's nothing to suggest that he went after the people who considered themselves entertainers and didn't claim to be supernatural.
His crusade is largely why people nowadays don't believe in clairvoyants, mediums, psychics and anyone else that claim supernatural abilities. That crusade and it's result is the definition of vendetta. So Ryan is right about the vendetta but he's wrong that he went after every entertainer.
Seems pretty cool of him tbh
@@rokamayono8590 Yeah, I've always respected Houdini because of that. He knew there were other people who were like he was after the death of his mother, vulnerable and desperate to contact their loved ones, and so he fought to make sure they wouldn't be taken advantage of.
Houdini was such a chaotic neutral 🤣 A skeptic, jacked, escape artist, Momma’s boy that built most of his career off of upstaging everyone around him.
This description is so sophisticated and funny. I love it
Lmao 😂
Top g
not only upstaging them - paying them for the trick legitimately and then upstaging them
i hate how they made me google “houdini shirtless”
apologies to the fbi agent watching me
Me doing just that a few minutes ago

Nah, nah, the FBI agent liked it too.
Same haahahaha I paused the video to do so
Glad I’m not the only one
Was he jacked
Not only was it in English, but it started with like "My Dearest Harry" which... was his stage name, not his real name :P So double whammy.
Yikes...that’s bad...
Yeah. She probably would have said “du bis nikht mechuggah meyn kindelach!” Don’t be crazy my child
Oh! you're right, that's even worse than wrong language imo
Wow that's sad, I understand why he was that petty after seeing the spiritualist. I would have been livid.
Too funny.
Fun fact! Arthur Conan Doyle would have HATED to be called "the author of Sherlock Holmes" because he actually wanted to be known for his romance novels, which were poorly received and actually quite bad. He even tried to end the series by killing Sherlock, but the British masses were extremely upset by it. People genuinely mourned the character and took to wearing black arm bands as a symbol of mourning and protest of his death. Ultimately Doyle caved and brought Sherlock back to life
Stop that’s so funny😭
damn nn
Did he kill Watson too?
That happens all the time. People work hard on the things they want to be known for. Then some little thing they don’t care about and do for fun, that’s what gets them famous.
I’m pretty sure that AA Milne (who wrote Winnie The Pooh) and Beatrix Potter worked in scientific research but then wrote books for their kids one day and that’s what got them famous.
@@AutomaticDuck300 More than a couple of RUclipsrs probably fell into their niche this way
So you're telling me, Harry Houdini was giving TEDtalks about greedy magicians and mediums back in the day?
He was a man of morals, confusing morals but morals none the less.
@@mykahmeizis403 Better morals than most around him at the time.
@@mykahmeizis403 I wouldn't really call them confusing since his train of thought is very easy to follow, but morals none the less.

Oh and he also believed in fairies!
@@procrastinating_celery4994 IKR. Like what the heck dude!
And he really didn't like Sherlock Holmes. He wanted to be known more for the fantastical stories he wrote, as opposed to the logic locked Holmes. He tried killing Holmes, quitting the Strand and badmouthing the character. But the public wanted Holmes more than dinosaurs
@@davidrothberg1112 He actually was more proud of his historical writings - he got a knighthood on his comprehensive history of the Boer War.
@@mureithikivuti it was very normal long ago for people to believe in fairies espically in the Uk
So... Your saying that Houdini was a skeptic often mistaken for someone supernatural, and friends with Doyle, a believer who often found himself seeking out supernatural occurances? And they were celebrities? Hmm.... I wonder who they remind me of....
Hmmm my eyebrows are wiggling
Oooooo I'm guessing it starts with s and then ends with e
I dont get it?
@@pruthadeshmukh153(P.S. its shane and Ryan ;)

shane saying he'd turn on the radio for ryan's ghost is true friendship

Maybe only through death can Ryan answer if ghosts are real or not
That’s the paranormal version of pouring some out for the homie

He looks like inspector gadget
I was seriously about to type that he looks like a hippie professor at some liberal arts college in Vermont.
i just love how ryans voice is explaining the story in a really cool manner and then it just transitions into shane acting like an idiot
Was fun when it was new. They copy pasted the same style in every video and it became boring.
Whitehead wasn't just randomly trying to punch him. Houdini had a famous act where he'd allow members of the audience to hit him, and he wouldn't even flinch. He'd tighten his muscles and flex in such a way that it didn't really effect him.
So that's what that was likely about.
And rumor is that the person punched him before he was ready. Some rumors saying that it was part of the act, but the guy struck before he was ready, and others that the guy did it outside of the act but because of the act.
The code thing him and his wife did was AMAZING!! he was a genius.
Yea
YES I love that plan.
It was amazing

Look at 28:21 for a little easter egg
Right window
Can you imagine being the dude who punched him like jesus christ "I bascially killed Houdini"
Imagine being the psychic who messed up so bad you accidentally set Houdini on everyone in your field
"Dammit, Bernice! We had a good thing going!"
The reason he exposed spiritualists and side-show performers was because they deceive the audience by not telling them it’s a trick. A magician tells you that they’re lying to you, and then they do the trick. The side-show performers tell you that they have superhuman/supernatural abilities when they really don’t.
sword swallowers do literally swallow swords though. like, thats an ability that is built up and trained for and takes years of methodology thats been passed down for centuries. of all the sideshow performers to expose, those ones is just petty.
@@alexkilgore7329 Houdini was exposing the performers who "cheat" their tricks. He claimed that some sword swallowers swallowed a metal sheath/tube before doing the actual trick. So, I can see why he would expose those people, as they were deliberately deceiving people.
This is a good point.
This makes sense. It’s wrong af to lie to grieving people
I really think those people truly believe they have supernatural abilities hey have convinced themselves of it

I always thought Houdini was cool, but I never knew he exposed fake mediums. This video increased my respect for him so much. Thanks for posting this.
The whole story of Houdini makes me realize how much his mentality was present in old school pro wrestling.
- Never exposing the business;
- Travelling from one place to the other constantly;
- Working hurt.
Mad bastards, both Houdini and old time wrestlers.
This comment is perfect. Great comparison my guy
Except he's exactly the opposite. He constantly exposed magic as "fake"
@@qwertyzxcvbn3174 wrestling isn’t fake though its scripted, steel chairs hurt

For Postmortem: Ryan talked about what he'd do if he was a ghost. Shane, what would you do if you died and became a ghost? Would you try to prove your existence to Ryan; or stay hidden out of spite to not give him the satisfaction?
up
Shane is already a demon so i doubt he will become a ghost.
He already gave the answer at 27:30. Shane confirmed spawn of hell. He knows the process.
He would never answer this. (According to him- ghosts don’t exist.)
HEY! RYAN AND SHANE I KNOW YOU'RE READING THIS

6:42 You can hear the sadness from Ryan’s no🥺
But he smiles at the end when he’s caught😁
One of the best moments in this episode.
Cool
Loved that part😂😂
Why did I think he died performing a magic trick? The appendicitis was really underwhelming
@Rulya Mórrigan Ard Mhacha no. You just didn’t know. The Mandela effect is not a thing.
@Rulya Mórrigan Ard Mhacha no you dunce I’m talking about everyone saying the whole different realties thing. And don’t say you misremembered it you just didn’t know.
I think it's because of the 1953 movie Houdini, where in that movie houdini died by drowning when failing to perform a trick in a water tank
@@hunterwhite4544 The different realities thing is a theory to try and explain the Mandela Effect. The Mandela Effect is literally just a term for when you misremember something. It’s a real phenomenon.
@Rulya Mórrigan Ard Mhacha
While the misinformation effect is real, outside of psychology most people know the Mandela Effect as a wacky theory about alternate realities. The term “Mandela Effect” itself was coin by a self proclaimed paranormal consultant, which is mentioned in almost every article on the subject. It has its own section in the Wikipedia page on the topic.
If you google “Mandela effect”, almost every article that shows up will mention the conspiracy theory and disprove it by explaining the science behind it. That’s clearly what Hunter White was trying to say, so there really was no need to be nasty about it.
The fact that this man did a whole show with acute appendicitis is amazing...appendicitis is extremely painful and even walking or doing any normal activity is quite painful....
“Go to the hospital if you’re hurting”
*cries in American Healthcare*
This hit just a little too hard lmao
In this economy!?

oof *ya can't POG through that pain-*

Med student here: most likely scenario is Houdini already had appendicitis and the punch to the gut caused his appendix to burst.
I'm not in med school but that seems like a solid diagnosis 👍 :)

i wanna go into the medical field so I got some questions for u on med school. whats med school like, is it hard? what do u do? do you practice on dummies? whats the funnest part? what sucks the most? was it what u expected? have you taken the mcat yet? is the mcat hard? what are u studying for?
@@noemid294 pls notify me if you get an answer these are great questions lol
@@revelle9552 thank you and I will! :)
I found it so interesting how passionate he was about exposing the fakes.. should serve as an example
Ryan's best magic trick is that he got a guy who doesn't believe in ghosts at all & is in fact, made of demons, to go along on multiple ghost hunting trips on 2 separate RUclips channels.
shane's progressively getting more and more like an unhinged teacher who drinks vodka at an 8am class

Fun fact: In Harry's will he'd given his "chinese water torture cell" to his brother, who was given instructions that it should be burned and destroyed after his death. Instead, his brother sold it off to a collector. In 1995, the Houdini Magical Hall of Fame (where the cell was being displayed) burned to the ground :^)
seems supernatural to me 🤷🏽
Harry be like: sis you didn't burn it down so ima burn this whole dang museum down

@@z.6480 exactly what I thought 🤣
Actually, the milk can is done by a special version with an air dome at the top (with the help of displaced water by putting himself in the can) and loose rivets. Modern magicians explained it years ago, so not quite "never solved". But EXTREMELY EXTREMELY impressive for the time
As a Minnesotan, the state rarely gets coverage, so to hear that Houdini's visit to Minnesota was the one to comment on was a genuine surprise.
Houdini: "Spiritualism is a load of poppycock."
Ryan: "I'm gonna pretend I didn't see that."

Just was searching before I posted that exact question lol...
A Houdini Halloween 👻
My grandfather died on Halloween...but it's more scary with Houdini
For postmortem: Hi, med student here. I imagine most people when punching someone's stomach would go for the belly button (umbilical) area or epigastric area, while the appendix is located in the lower right (right iliac) area. While the punch is unlikely to cause the appendicitis, it's likely that it aggravated the already preexisting appendicitis, causing it to burst. A burst appendicitis is always a worse prognosis, because the bacteria spreads easily in the abdominal cavity, causing other complications. Especially in Houdini's case where he postponed treatment for hours while possibly putting his body under more stress by doing his tricks, it's possible the infection had already entered his bloodstream and was too spread out that he didn't survive. I personally believe there wasn't any murder involved, simply a series of unfortunate events that ended with his untimely demise.
Ding ding
as a med student aswell i agree that the end his death was septic due to appendicitis
lol next time i shoudve waited instead of reading the comments when the med student punched him lmao ...in the end he died like what i expected lol
Another med student: I totally agree
im not a med student but that 100% makes sense
What's incredible about Houdini's performances, is that some of those that we DO understand, involved absolutely **incredible** feats of personal athleticism and body control!
He began honing his own body, and his control over it, as a very young person and never stopped.
Him searching for his mother had me bawling over the video
And when Lady Doyle wrote in english... i couldn't believe it.
My turtle is named Houdini cause he escaped his tank and we lost him, he is fine now
Wholesome
How is his stomach?
My turtle dissappears all the time as well, I know she's good though.. once I found out her hiding spot.. Buried under the house
well, if you named it after it escaped, i think it doesn't count.

This one seems straightforward. As someone who suffered from misdiagnosed appendicitis and then finally got it properly diagnosed after it burst, they put me on antibiotics and couldn't operate because it could have infected more of my system. Sounds like thanks to people like Harry Houdini dying due to a bad medical practice, my life was saved years later from what they learned.
Yea, I think it was just bad medical attention seeing this was 1926. That damn near 100 years ago so they probably tried their best, but did not have the proper equipment or medical knowledge to save his life at the time. Of course I don't know the historical breakthroughs of appendicitis.
Same thing happened to me bud. 3 years ago,my Appendix ruptured and Was leaking Pus. Just from what they learned from Harry Houdini's Death,they could just get the damn appendix outta me. I was 10 3 years ago
This one surprised me, I thought the reason for his death wasn't disputed. I read about it years ago, how he died due to being punched in the stomach and not seeking treatment
@@majolko seeing as it hasn’t even been proven that punching someone in the stomach can cause appendicitis or accelerate the severity of it, it’s probably people who just saw the theory online without researching it and accepted it as fact. Imo, he prob just died because he had a shattered ankle, burst appendix and 104 fever and still didn’t go see a doctor until after a show.

why not both
if he was a demon...
why would he be taunting demons everyday?
Isn’t he a genie now
Different theory: Shane stole the Goatman's demonic powers by claiming the bridge as his own
Uhh... He's a genie
Do the sinister story of “The Scranton Strangler”.
😂😂😂😂😂it’s creed
LMAO THIS IS THE BEST COMMENT I'VE SEEN TODAY
Toby
i was just watching that episode and now i see this comment wtf
Yasssssssssssssss do it
Shane: "You seem to buy into a lot"
Ryan in Annabelle video: "So if you want to tell us something maybe move something or one of us"
I miss losing sleep over these types of videos... the music always gets me lol. Sad this type of video ended, not sure why but yeah
They have a channel called Watchers
Shane: (mum voice) *Ryan... Is that true?*
Ryan: (making himself small) *no*
I was looking for someone to say it, thank you
That was such an adorable interaction! I love the chemistry between these two 😍
Lol
6:34
This made me cackle so loud lmao
Not gunna lie, sounds like he just died of appendicitis.
It's what I'm thinking too lol I almost lost my roommate because of appendicitis but we got her into surgery just before it burst 🤷🏻♀️
Yeah and the fact that someone just punched him in the gut. That probably did the deed.
Nah. Really really doubt that an external punch, even a whole round of punches, would ever rupture or damage one of your internal organs. Muscles or bones, yeah they'll take a battering...but your internal organs cant really be affected by blows to the skin. I dont buy that at all.
Appendicitis seems the most plausible idea.
Yeah. Guy who had a bust appendix, before the days of antibiotics, dies of sepsis...not sure what's suspicious about that?
It sounds downright mundane.
@@aisyahazzahrah446 Yeah and I'm guessing this didn't happen to your roommate in the 1920s. That was before antibiotics were commercially available.
He was a macho guy who delayed going to the hospital when he was sick with appendicitis, his appendix burst and progressed to sepsis...there's nothing surprising to me about that.
Yes, most people easily survive surgery for appendicitis, but that doesn't mean appendicitis isn't serious. It's no joke!
I nearly choked when Shane said "You died and your went straight to hell".
Who else is binge watching these?
Me
It’s crazy that the great magician Houdini was the staunch rationalist who wanted to expose the fraud of spiritualism, but spiritualism’s biggest champion was Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the creator of fiction’s most powerful rationalist.
I know right it’s so crazy and ironic!
Whoa, that's, I didn't even realize that
THEY WERE ALSO GOOD FRIENDS TOO WHICH MAKES THIS EVEN FUNNIER
it's too ironic 🤣
Especially since ‘Sherlock’ busted the Charlottin’s in one of Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes stories. It’s a great listen on Audio Drama’s channel
No one:
Dude named Jocelyn: So anyways, I started *punching*
Jocelyn: Dude can I punch you!?
Houdini: Y-
(WHAM)
That guy annoyed me
My theory: he was abducted by aliens and replaced with a low quality clone.
Sword Swallowers
**glares in Orochimaru**
It’s weird to see Houdini so jacked his face is so soft looking really soft gentle features he looks amazing.
@@starscreamofvos Yes, fruits and vegetables are better for you and an abundance of red meat could possibly exacerbate colon cancer. That being said...stop with the commercial content. Thank you.
@@starscreamofvos lmao you can keep eating what my food eats I'll enjoy my steak
Animal protein and fat is important for male androgen. Veggies and meat form a complete protein without shredding testosterone levels. Eat both, in moderation and balance. Thanks for playing
@@joshuastender4871 that’s actually crazy the human body is strange lmao
@@ephwurd2yurMother lmao same they can enjoy their bird food while I eat my ham pot pie and get some *real protein* 🤣🤙🏼
I literally thought he died during his underwater tricks and that he didn't get out on time and drowned.🤯
THAT IS WHAT I THOUGHT
I thought I was the only one.😱
I stg, me too! Mandela effect anyone?
@@thisisjeopardy9024 literally??
You're likely thinking of Genesta! He died doing the milk can trick in 1930. Or Jeff Hooper who died trying to escape shackles underwater in the 80s.
You guys make these stories 100% more interesting
I think Houdini was septic from the shattered ankle, leading to the apendix rupture and death.
New Theory: shane is Houdini reincarnated and hasn't unlocked his super magic skills yet
Nope, too big a head, long Icabod limbs. . . ain't tuckin' that in a milk can. . . and never gonna be any skills. Love ya Shane, but no, you are never going to be the new Houdmeister.
He's just not high enough on the skill tree yet
He’s a genie
Yeah he gotta survive 2020 to unlock that level and that ability
He's taking a couple skillshare courses
Shane: *whispers* his brain is cracked
Ryan: I could hear you
Shane: sorry, YOUR BRAIN IS CRACKED!
funniest bit ever
and the:
R: “they payed me to go into the magic castle”
S: “is that true?”
R: “yes!”
S: “Ryyaannn.” *dadness ensues* “is that true”
R: *quietly* “...no...”
@@Venus-pw9hf just saw that part 😂
I am just revisiting these episodes and I know I am not alone 🤓
I love that Ryan wants Shane to hunt for his ghost :,)
Why Tf are Houdini’s eyes so terrifying
Hee sees
I think he had like light blue eyes so maybe it photographed odd in black and white during that time lol. Charlie Chaplin also had crazy blue eyes, that's why they were so striking in black and white video.
That's where the real magic is
Hee Hee
Striking blue eyes are a rather eastern European trait, not nice saying its creepy
Demon Shane theory: every time Shane goes into “character” for something. He’s actually summoning a spirit. When he got into character for Houdini, he just summoned Houdini
Incredible theory.
Houdini would have been PISSED
This is brilliant
@@ismet1664 oh you spiritualistic son OF A
LOL Shane would be so pissed if you actually believed that! 😂
When my twin sister died of a pulmonary embolism at our home, the wires on every light switch fused. We think she really objected to leaving. It’s a big house!
Exactly and the old rule is that a magician never reveals how he did it. Houdini seemed to follow that rule to the letter
Ryan's Voiceover: After the death of Erik's father
The background music: 🥳🎊🎈🤡🎉
Lamao
as usual the background music bangs, sometimes yr father dies when yr young lol people move on to become escape artists
Rip dad:🎉🥳🎈🎊🎁🍾👯♀️
Shane has such dad energy when he says "Ryan, is that true?"
😂
😂😂😂
phil dunphy

Mom
And you love daddies 😜
I was always told Houdini died from one his own acts, the act being him restrained with locks and chains then put in a cage with locks and then that box was thrown off a bridge. I thought it would be a increadible finale
I actually thought he had swallowed a key and that was why there was no autopsy, because he didn't wanna give up his secrets even after death.
