Before his later stage magic career and paranormal investigations, The Amazing Randi was first known as an escape artist who sometimes imitated and improved upon Houdini’s famous stunts.
Randi himself apparently was the one who snuck the coded name “Harry Houdini” into this poster with the illustrator’s permission.
The artist signed only as “Jayson,” adding an untypical Y to that name, while dropping one from “Sydney.”

Star and Juni really did send over a little scaled criminal!
2 days being in her new home, and she escaped after a slight knock to the viv that shunted her vent cover. What a little scoundrel! At least I can stop sitting up for her and sleep now 🫠
Thanks for letting me adopt this heathen @fellowshipofthenoodles 😂

This is the final resting place of Harry Houdini, master magician and escape artist (1874-1926). In 1926 after a show in Montreal he was reclining backstage in his dressing room. A local student asked him about his ability to withstand punches to his gut. Houdini had a method of clenching the muscles in his stomach area to help him survive even the hardest gut punch. But immediately after Harry had answered his question, the student, J Gordon Whitehead, suddenly started punching Harry violently; 4 or 5 times directly to his stomach. Harry was still in a reclined position and wasn't prepared. He was overcome and moaned with agonizing pain. But stubbornly, he refused to see a doctor and shrugged it off, insisting that he would still do his next show even though he was now feeling very sick with bad stomach cramps and abdominal pain. He made it to the show, struggled through his act and immediately collapsed after the curtains came down. That show would be his last. When he finally made it to the doctor, they discovered that Harry's appendix had ruptured. And it had poisoned his insides. Harry clung to life for a few more days before passing away on Halloween night, 1926. After his death his grieving widow Wilhelmina held seances every Halloween for 10 years to try and communicate with him. But sadly, she never heard a thing so she stopped trying. To this day lingering doubts remain about Houdini's death. The Spiritualists hated him and wanted him dead because Harry was exposing their hypocrisy and grifting to the US Congress. Some have speculated that the student, J Gordon Whitehead, may have been working with the Spiritualists and thus he was actually an assassin.
To honor Harry's memory, it is a tradition to hold a seance every Halloween night and try to reach out to him. Who knows, maybe he will answer back someday. And let us know what really happened on that fateful day.

Can I get a yandere Bruce x Fem reader that is hella smart? Maybe she can constantly break free from her restraints (in the case Bruce kidnapped her) and get out? Feel free to ignore.
Tumblr media
TW: kidnapping, bone breaking, escape attempt, violence
"Stop!" bruce is frustrated, you had just started climbing the wall to a window! "i really hate hurting you! but you have to stop" you think about all the void,empty, threats he had made in the past about if you continued down this path
It was different this time. bruce had one of his baseball bats and some bandages in a corner of the room which had struck you as strange but maybe he had a game coming up and he wanted to be safe just incase he got injured
The real fear set in when the bat was in his hand when he entered the room. He sat with his legs stopping you from moving "brace yourself" it was the moment you had realized. Before the impact
Pain. red,hot,blaring, pain shot through your body starting from the bone of your knees "its for the best" bruce quickly began wrapping your legs in the thick bandage
"Ga-hh!" you felt the pressure of him pressing down on your knee suddenly "sorry, have to see the damage" bruce continues to lightly poke around your knee "its broken, not shattered though.." bruce sounds almost dissapointed
He arises and makes his way up the stairs
"good night, my little escape artist"
(ALT ENDING)
"Ill even stay down here tonight" you had no room to argue as bruce wrapped his hands around your torso and pulled a blanket over you twos spooning bodies
"Goodnight, we'll do this as many times as it takes" he cooed in your ear before he drifted off to sleep

Cosmere Inktober – 4 chains This one was a tricky one, until I remembered Dieno the Mink :)
--------------------------------- [image description: a portrait of Dieno the Mink in two versions, one in greyscale and one in muddy greens and orange. It shows the Mink's head, shoulders and chest, with thick chains wrapping over his shoulders and his torso. Dieno is shown as an middle-aged man with the beginnings of a receding hairline, a flat nose and big handlebar mustache. His eyes are overshadowed and he grins a toothy grin, one tooth is missing, giving him a dark, very confident and maybe a bit cheeky expression.]

Easier to escape: n-layered nested quotes or an iron maiden?
Escape Artist [Explained]
Transcript Under the Cut
[Cueball sits before a computer on a desk while another man stands behind him.] Man: I was fascinated by locks as a kid. I loved how they turned information and patterns into physical strength. Cueball: Why does my script keep dying?
[Closeup on Cueball sitting at the computer.] Man: And a lock invites you to try and open it. It's the hacker instinct. Only your ignorance stands in the way. Cueball: Wait it's passing bad strings.
[Returns to the two shot of both men.] Man: I admired Harry Houdini, how he could open any lock and free himself from any restraint. Cueball: Ah - Bash is parsing the spaces.
Man: Sure some of it was fakery and showmanship. But I still wonder how he so consistently escaped handcuffs. Cueball: Backslashes? Man: Huh? Cueball: Never mind.

based off that escape artist chapter, how do you think the best man speech at the jily wedding would go, I've reread the fic recently and that part caught my attention
Sirius Black honestly seems like the platonic ideal of who you would want to make a best man speech. He's handsome, charismatic, funny, deeply loves the groom. You know it would be the perfect mixture of humorous anecdotes and heartfelt sincerity. The only thing that might be kind of annoying about that best man's speech is him throwing in a smug couple MWPP in-jokes that only four people get.
