Houdini

TV Mini Series. History Channel. Part 1. From humble beginnings at circus sideshows to sold out concert halls in Europe, Part 1 of Houdini follows the rise of the boy Erich Weiss as he becomes the man Harry Houdini, master escapologist. The rabbi's son from Wisconsin is the epitome of the American Dream as he makes his way through the early 20th century vaudeville craze and emerges as America's first bonafide world renowned superstar.

At 16:24, Houdini brings his future wife to Coney Island, where he takes a scrap of paper from her, folds it into a bird, and makes it float in the air. While she is watching it in amazement, a performer is seen many times on and off juggling 3 torches in the background, out of focus, for 78 seconds.
