To accompany a vintage magician poster exhibition, the McCord Museum had a \design a Houdini poster\ contest. This submission poster for the contest features a collage of all of Houdini’s major stunts: being locked up with chains, dipped into a water cage, tied upside down in a straight jacket and buried underground. The final image also celebrates the often times overly dramatic taglines and language used to advertise Houdini\'s events.
