Here Ehrich (whose name would evolve to “Ehrie,” then “Harry”) developed an interest in athletics and acrobatics. When Ehrich was four years old, the Weiss family immigrated to the United States, settling in the progressive small town of Appleton, Wisconsin, where Mayer Samuel had secured work as a rabbi on an earlier trip. Ehrich was the fourth boy in a family that would ultimately total seven children (including one child from a previous marriage). His parents were Cecilia Steiner and Mayer Samuel Weiss, a rabbinical lawyer and sometimes soap maker.
Harry Houdini was born Erik Weisz (later spelled Ehrich Weiss) in Budapest, Hungary on March 24, 1874.
