Description : How did Harry Houdini come up with his stage name?
Last Answer : Harry Houdini was born Erik Weisz, but that name wasn't going to cut it for his magical ambitions. The origin of "Harry" was simple†he'd gone by "Ehrie" as a kid, so he just ... a book called The Unmasking of Robert-Houdin in which he criticized Robert-Houdin for stealing other magicians' tricks.
