Pada tahun 1906 Houdini mulai mempertontonkan film pelolosannya di luar gedung sebagai bagian aksi ''vaudeville''. Di Boston ia menunjukkan sebuah film pendek berjudul ''Houdini Defeats Hackenschmidt'' (Houdini mengalahkan Hackenschmidt). [[Georg Hackenschmidt]] adalah seorang pegulat terkenal pada zaman itu, tetapi bagaimana pertandingan itu dilakukan tidak diketahui jelas karena filmnya sekarang hilang.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.wildabouthoudini.com/2010/01/houdini-defeats-hackenschmidt-and-other.html|title=Houdini Defeats Hackenschmidt and other revelations from Disappearing Tricks|accessdate=January 31, 2010}}</ref> <!--In 1909 Houdini made a film in Paris for Cinema Lux titled ''Merveilleux Exploits du Célébre Houdini à Paris'' (Marvellous Exploits of the Famous Houdini in Paris).<ref>''Disappearing Tricks'' by Matthew Solomon, 2010, p. 95.</ref> It featured a loose narrative designed to showcase several of Houdini's famous escapes, including his straitjacket and underwater handcuff escapes.
It is often erroneously reported that Houdini served as special-effects consultant on the Wharton/International cliffhanger serial, ''The Mysteries of Myra'', shot in Ithaca, New York, because Harry Grossman, director of ''The Master Mystery'' also filmed a serial in Ithaca at about the same time. The consultants on the serial were pioneering [[Hereward Carrington]] and [[Aleister Crowley]].<ref>''The Mysteries of Myra'' by Eric Stedman, 2010, p. 8.</ref>

Houdini made the only known recordings of his voice on Edison [[Phonograph cylinder|wax cylinder]]s on October 29, 1914, in [[Flatbush, New York]]. On them, Houdini practices several different introductory speeches for his famous [[Chinese Water Torture Cell|Chinese water torture cell]]. He also invites his sister, Gladys, to recite a poem. Houdini then recites the same poem in German. The six wax cylinders were discovered in the collection of magician John Mulholland after his death in 1970. They are part of the [[David Copperfield (illusionist)|David Copperfield]] collection.<ref name="Wild About Harry">{{cite web |url=http://www.wildabouthoudini.com/2010/11/houdini-speaks-in-1970.html |title=Houdini speaks in 1970 |accessdate=November 13, 2010}}</ref>

▲Harry Houdini died of [[peritonitis]], secondary to a [[appendicitis|ruptured appendix]] at 1:26 p.m. on October 31, 1926 in Room 401 at Detroit's Grace Hospital, aged 52. In his final days, he optimistically held to a strong belief that he would recover, but his last words before dying were reportedly, "I'm tired of fighting."<ref name="Simon & Schuster"/> Eyewitnesses to an incident at Houdini's dressing room in the Princess Theatre in [[Montreal]] gave rise to speculation that Houdini's death was caused by a [[McGill University]] student, J. Gordon Whitehead, who delivered a surprise attack of multiple blows to Houdini's abdomen.<ref name=Snopes>Mikkelson, Barbara and David P. (September 2, 2014). [http://www.snopes.com/horrors/freakish/houdini.asp "Punched Out"]. [[Snopes.com]].</ref>
The eyewitnesses, students named Jacques Price and Sam Smilovitz (sometimes called Jack Price and Sam Smiley), proffered accounts of the incident that generally corroborated one another. Price describes Whitehead asking Houdini "if he believed in the miracles of the Bible" and "whether it was true that punches in the stomach did not hurt him". He then delivered "some very hammer-like blows below the belt". Houdini was reclining on a couch at the time, having broken his ankle while performing several days earlier. Price states that Houdini winced at each blow and stopped Whitehead suddenly in the midst of a punch, gesturing that he had had enough, and adding that he had had no opportunity to prepare himself against the blows, as he did not expect Whitehead to strike him so suddenly and forcefully. Had his ankle not been broken, he would have risen from the couch into a better position to brace himself.<ref name=Snopes/><ref>{{cite book | title=Edge of the Unknown | author=Conan Doyle, Arthur | year=1930 | isbn=1406820555}}</ref>

== Kuburan Houdini ==
Pemakaman Houdini diselenggarakan pada tanggal [[4 November]] [[1926]] di [[New York City]], dihadiri oleh lebih dari 2000 orang yang berkabung.<ref>[http://www.buzzle.com/articles/131797.html Final Escape for the Master of Illusion?

Suatu patung setengah dada ditambahkan pada [[:en:exedra|exedra]] di tahun 1927, suatu hal yang jarang terjadi, karena pahatan patung dilarang pada makam-makam Yahudi. Pada tahun 1975 patung itu dihancurkan oleh para perusak. Patung pengganti sementara ditempatkan di makam itu sampai tahun 2011 ketika sebuah kelompok yang kemudian dinamai [[:en:Houdini Commandos|Houdini Commandos]] dari [[Houdini Museum]] di [[Scranton]], [[Pennsylvania]], menempatkan patung permanen dengan izin dari keluarga Houdini dan tempat pekuburan.<ref name="Houdini Returns">{{cite news |url=http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/10/24/houdini-returns-of-course/ |title=Houdini Returns |accessdate=October 24, 2011 | work=The New York Times |first=David W. |last=Dunlap |date=October 24, 2011}}</ref><!-- The [[Society of American Magicians]] took responsibility for the upkeep of the site, as Houdini had willed a large sum of money to the organization he had grown from one club to 5,000-6,000 dues-paying membership worldwide. This upkeep was abandoned by the society's dean [[George Schindler]], who said "the operator of the cemetery, David Jacobson, sends us a bill for upkeep every year but we never pay it."<ref name="Houdini's Final Trick">{{cite news |url=http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/10/31/houdinis-final-trick-a-tidy-grave/|title=Houdini’s Final Trick, a Tidy Grave|accessdate=October 31, 2008 | work=The New York Times |first=COREY |last=KILGANNON |date=October 31, 2008}}</ref>-->

Machpelah Cemetery operator Jacobson said, they "never paid the cemetery for any restoration of the Houdini family plot in my tenure since 1988," claiming that the money came from the cemetery's dwindling funds. The granite monuments of Houdini's sister, Gladys, and brother, Leopold were also destroyed by vandals.<ref name="Houdinis' Plot Is Cleared Up, and Then Thickens">{{cite news |url=http://www.nytimes.com/1996/11/24/nyregion/houdinis-plot-is-cleared-up-and-then-thickens.html |title=Houdinis' Plot Is Cleared Up, and Then Thickens|accessdate=November 24, 1996 | work=The New York Times |first=Charlie |last=LeDuff |date=November 24, 1996}}</ref> For many years, until recently, The Houdini grave site has been only cared for by [[Dorothy Dietrich]] and [[Dick Brookz]] of the [[Houdini Museum]] in [[Scranton]], Pennsylvania.

Magicians Dorothy Dietrich and Dick Brookz have been caring for the escape artist’s Queens grave over the years. “This is a monument where people go and visit on a daily basis,” said Dietrich who is spearheading restoration efforts. "The nearly 80-year-old popular plot at the Machpelah Cemetery has fallen into disrepair over the years." "The Houdini Museum has teamed with The Society of American Magicians, one of the oldest fraternal magic organizations in the world, to give the beloved site a facelift." The organization has a specific Houdini gravesite committee made up of nine members headed up by President elect David Bowers who brought this project to the Society’s attention. Kenrick “Ice” McDonald, the current president of the Society of American Magicians said “You have to know the history. Houdini served as President from 1917 until his death in 1926. Houdini’s burial site needs an infusion of cash to restore it to its former glory." Magician Dietrich said the repairs could cost “tens of thousands of dollars,” after consulting with glass experts and grave artisans. “It’s a wonderful project, but it’s taken a lifetime to get people interested,” she said. “It’s long overdue, and it’s great that it’s happening.” Houdini was a living superhero,” Dietrich said. “He wasn’t just a magician and escape artist, he was great humanitarian.”

Sampai hari ini yayasan ("Society") itu terus mengadakan "upacara pemutusan tongkat pesulap" (''[[:en:broken wand ceremony|broken wand ceremony]]'') pada makam itu setiap bulan November. Janda Houdini, [[Bess Houdini|Bess]], meninggal karena serangan jantung pada tanggal 11 Februari 1943, dalam usia 67 tahun, di [[Needles, California]] dalam perjalanan kereta api dari [[Los Angeles]] ke [[New York City]]. Ia berkeinginan untuk dimakamkan di samping suaminya, tetapi akhirnya dikuburkan 35 mil sebelah utaranya di [[Gate of Heaven Cemetery]] di [[Westchester County, New York]], karena keluarganya yang beragama [[Katolik]] menolak untuk mengizinkan mayatnya dikuburkan dalam pekuburan Yahudi.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://houdini.net/besshoudinideath.php |title=Bess Houdini dies in 1943 |publisher=Houdini.net |accessdate=April 1, 2011}}</ref>
