Harry Houdini was an American illusionist who began his carrer as a magician in 1891. Tuddrussel despises him in particular due to being a magician. He doesn't appear to have any grudge against Time Squad. He talks with a strong New York accent, and also enjoys to show off his magic tricks. After figuring out they love his tricks, he gets very flattered and promises to stop being a criminal and to use his magic for good. In fact, the civilians and police get so amazed by his magic they don't pay attention they're being robbed. However, he's very polite and respectful towards the people he steals, giving thanks every time they praise him. Houdini is a thief who uses his skills as an illusionist and escapist to commit his crimes. He also wears a blue cape behind his back and a bandanna around his eyes to protect his real identity. It consists of a white magician collar, a black tank top with a big "H" on it, black gloves with white lighting-shaped stripes on it and brown boots. His attire remembers those from a stereotyped comic book supervillain. His head is shaped like a square and has a large chin. Houdini is touched by this, and so he promises to always use his magic for good. Otto then confesses him the whole event of the diamond was a hoax and the audience actually came to watch him doing his magic tricks and they would pay for it. After getting unconscious for a while, Houdini wakes up and Otto asks him why do he commit his robberies, to what the magician replies that being a supervillain is too expensive. He successfully manages to steal the diamond, but is stopped by Tuddrussel and punches him in the face, much to the nuisance of the audience. Houdini doesn't want to lose this opportunity, and assists to the event.
The following day, a newspaper article is broadcasted, telling the world's biggest diamond would be unveiling.
However, the people who were robbed by Houdini seem to enjoy his magic tricks. Tuddrussel tries to arrest him during a bank heist, but he can't due to Houdini's illusions and the later escapes. The Time Squad is forced to stop him from commiting crimes, in a pretty similar way like a superhero TV show.
In the episode, Houdini takes a life as a criminal, stealing from jewelry stores and banks using his skills as a magician. He debuts in the episode " Houdini Whodunnit!?".
