In the earliest version of the Torture Cell, a metal cage was lowered into the cell, and Houdini was enclosed inside that. The stocks would be locked to the top of the cell, and a curtain would conceal his escape.
The mahogany and metal cell featured a glass front, through which audiences could clearly see Houdini. In this escape, Houdini's feet would be locked in stocks, and he would be lowered upside down into a tank filled with water. He began to perform it during his fall tour with the Circus Busch in Germany in 1912, calling it simple "The Upside Down". Water Torture Cell was an escape developed by Harry Houdini that followed his Giant Milk Can Escape, which was beginning to have a vast number of imitators.
