So, it didn't surprise me that much of 'Houdini' was pure crap. Too often, films take a fast and loose approach to biopics. Reviewed by MartinHafer 5 / 10 Other than the fact that much of it is crap, it IS entertaining. Although Houdini's tricks are achieved through his marvelous physical dexterity and innate sleight-of-hand, he courted death with the hazardous illusions he performed and his compulsive quest to make contact with the spirit world. These Octopus are also popular bathroom art, as they are serene and calming in watery settings.The amazing career of master magician Harry Houdini is presented from his beginnings with a carnival 'wild man' act to his emergence as an internationally-acclaimed illusionist, From his dramatic escape from a locked safe under the frozen Detroit River to an even more improbable one from a locked cell in Scotland Yard, he never failed to please and astound his audiences. They make for a great set of two or three, and can be hung in many configurations in any coastal home. I came up with the title “Houdini”, when I learned what great escape artists these smart cephalopods are! These pieces are more refined color-wise, with very soft sea foam greens, some light blues and shades of gray and white. So I thought it was fitting to add sparkling paper and gems to all my octopus tentacles. While making the octopus Ringo Starr I learned that Octopus pick up shiny objects while they travel along the ocean floor and put these sparkly items in piles or “gardens”, as Ringo wrote.

The elegance and playfulness of their tentacles are fun to layer, and wind around each other and the canvas. These and they’ve been so enjoyable Ive made them in many different compositions and colors. I’ve been referred to many times as the “Octopus Artist”.

Great houdini
