哈利‧胡迪尼 (Harry
Houdini) 娶了碧翠西
1894年6月22日
在擔任魔術師多年之後，胡迪尼從舞台上退出，並且專心研究神奇的逃脫術。這對夫婦離開美國到達歐洲，胡迪尼在那裡被公認為最厲害的「逃脫大師」。
西元1914年，碧翠西與哈利‧胡迪尼登上漢堡—美國航線 (Hamburg-America
Line) 的元首號汽船 (S.S.
Imperator) 慶祝20週年的結婚紀念日。他們在船上遇到另一個乘客，也就是西奧朵‧羅斯福 (Theodore
Roosevelt) 。羅斯福對於胡迪尼的表演感到相當讚嘆，他還邀請胡迪尼和自己的孫子碰面。
在過了超過39年的快樂時光之後，胡迪尼夫婦從來都不曾試圖從婚姻關係中逃脫。西元1926年10月31日，胡迪尼因為肚子受傷而引發腹膜炎去世，也讓哈利‧胡迪尼與美麗的碧翠西的故事劃下悲傷與意外的句點。
After years as a magician, Houdini dropped his magic act from the show and concentrated on creating fantastic escapes. The couple left the United States and toured Europe, where Houdini was acclaimed as a brilliant "escapologist."
In 1914, Beatrice and Harry Houdini celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary on board the S.S. Imperator of the Hamburg-America Line, where they met fellow passenger Theodore Roosevelt. Roosevelt was so amazed by Houdini's performance, he invited Houdini to meet his grandchildren.
Extremely happy for more than 39 years, the Houdinis never attempted escape from the bonds of matrimony. Then, on October 31, 1926, Houdini died from peritonitis (inflammation of the lining of the abdominal cavity) caused from a stomach injury, bringing the story of Harry Houdini and the beautiful Beatrice to a sad and sudden end.
