This was one of Houdini's most popular publicity stunts was to have himself strapped into a regulation straitjacket and suspended by his ankles from a tall building or crane. Houdini would then make his escape in full view of the assembled crowd. Ace did this escape twice in honor of Houdini as well, he was suspended upside down by a crane 13 stories high over the cement ground, and Ace added fire to the rope, making the escape a race against time before the rope burns out.
