Harry Houdini
challenges and difficulties

Harry has an innate distrust of groups and/or a cynical attitude toward society that may leave him feeling out of step and unable to participate in activities with his peers. Overcoming a sense of aloofness and alienation from others is an important task for Houdini.

He may have vague but ever-present feelings of guilt and fear that are difficult to pinpoint or eradicate. It is as if Harry Houdini does not trust Life itself, and is always seeking ways to defend himself from its dangers and its unknowns.
