History Channel's magical miniseries Houdini begins tonight, starring Adrien Brody as  the death-defying escape artist in a TV event that traces the arc of  Houdini's life from desperate poverty to worldwide fame.     
 
The Lionsgate/A&E Studios four-hour event also stars Kristen Connolly (House of Cards) as Bess, Harry Houdini's stage assistant and wife. Oscar nominee Uli Edel directed the project, adapted by Nicholas Meyer from the 1976 book Houdini: A Mind in Chains — A Psychoanalytic Portrait (written by his father, Bernard C. Meyer).
