Not sure of the reason, but a lot was made as to whether or not Houdini spied for the US govt. A relatively decent case was made, but after all this time I would think that if he did there would be something that would have come out supporting it versus strict conjecture.
As to the escapes, it is an interesting history especially if you like magic. He was truly the greatest of them all and put magic on the front page.
