How to Capture People’s Attention Like the Great Houdini!

David Blaine and David Copperfield might be the most famous magicians today, but they may not be remembered in 100 years like the Great Houdini. And it has nothing to do with magic, but everything to do with publicity.

The Great Houdini is a world-renowned illusionist who has entertained audiences all around the globe with his amazing feats of magical engineering. He's even been known to rebrand himself on occasion, just like everyone else!

Magicians and publicists at the top of their game possess similar skill sets. They must know how to tell a story and sell the invisible. Both need a hook to lure you in and they must differentiate their act (or product) from competitors. No magician did this PR act better than Houdini, from the 19th century until even today.

Houdini created his name by courting controversy and engaging in publicity stunts that still work today. He turned it into a global brand without any of the technology we have today!

Stanford’s Graduate School of Business found that when people listened to sales pitches, either containing facts and figures or a story, only 5% recalled a statistic, but a whopping 63% remembered the stories.
