The performer introduces a padlock hanging closed and suspended in a beautiful brass stand with wood base. He takes out the padlock and shows all around.\u00a0 There is nothing suspicious to see, a large vintage padlock, hanging from a brass rod,\u00a0 on a thin wood base. The magician states that the padlock used to belong to the famous escapologist\u00a0Harry Houdini.
\nNow you may have see other padlocks supposedly belonging to Houdini but how do I know this one really was?\u00a0 Well every night at 7:36pm (the time of Harry\u2019s Death) the lock utters one last gasp and opens even though it is completely isolated.
\nThe magician asks the spectators to watch the hanged padlock and counts down on his watch at the seconds approach 7:36pm.\u00a0 On the dot of 7:36 the magician points to the dome and off pops the lock falling down to the base.<\/p>\n
