Magicians angry as Houdini secret escapes

The magical world is sawn in half over a US museum exhibit that has let the secret of Harry Houdini’s legendary Metamorphosis escape trick out of the bag.

The new exhibit, AKA Houdini, opened yesterday at the Outagamie Museum in Appleton, Wisconsin, revealing how the Hungarian magician, handcuffed inside a sack and locked in a trunk, somehow managed to switch places with an assistant on the outside.
