Houdini: Red Aries # 39

b. 26 March 1874.  In his iconic red robe. (At the climax of his death-defying escape from a watery captivity, Bess would sweep on stage with the red robe, to cover his dripping body, and the audience cheered, the orchestra blared triumphantly.) Houdini started his career as a child magician in red woolen stockings. Houdini edited a newspaper supplement called Red Magic printed entirely in red ink. The escape imagery is, of course, a dramatization of the birth experience, Aries being the first sign. Aries actor Adrien Brody (14 April 1973) has been obsessed with Houdini since childhood. 

David Blaine, b. 4 April 1973
