胡迪尼的神奇戲法
有些魔術師會從帽中變出一隻兔子或讓一隻鳥消失在空氣中。但對胡迪尼來說，這些都太簡單了。他決定要使用一頭大象！1918年時，在紐約市競技場戲院內的明亮舞台上，胡迪尼讓一頭重達10,000磅
，名叫珍妮的大象消失。這個表演就叫做「消失的大象」。當胡迪尼對空鳴槍後，珍妮就消失在大家的眼前。胡迪尼再一次造成轟動。這一個不可思議的戲法讓胡迪尼成為世界知名的幻覺大師。
Some magicians might make a rabbit jump out of a hat or a bird disappear into thin air, but that was too easy for Houdini. He had to work with an elephant! In 1918, in the middle of the brightly lit stage of the Hippodrome theater in New York City, Houdini made a 10,000-pound elephant named Jennie disappear. The act was called "The Vanishing Elephant," and when Houdini fired a pistol, Jennie vanished from view. Houdini had created a sensation. This incredible trick helped make Houdini a world-famous master of illusion.
