Houdini's Box

Seeing isn’t believing. I’ve always believed this philosophy, and I have also always been a fan of Houdini. I first saw the Metamorphosis performed while I was in grade school. The Boise Little Theatre had come to my school performing a play about the great Harry Houdini. I was amazed and astonished that such a feat could be accomplished. After reading this essay I felt amazed and astonished all over again like I was in grade school all over again. The concept of escape comes up continually. Escape from ourselves and the world around us and all that it entails. Personally I believe this whole heartedly. Everyone needs a little escape know and then. Places things into perspective. The problem is, where is there to escape to? Can one really hide from everything? What do you think Houdini would have said. He would have said something along the line of my own personal philosophy. Impossible only means just hasn’t happened yet.
