Houdini is a song by American indie pop group Foster the People from their debut studio album Torches. Written by the groups frontman Mark Foster, the song was first released as a promotional single exclusively in the United Kingdom on April 1, 2011. The music video for Houdini premiered on YouTube on April 25, 2012. The video follows a story of Foster the People getting crushed by a lighting rig during rehearsal before a concert held the next day. Their manager finds out, and uses his assistants to move their limbs. The manager hires some scientists, who turn the band into robots. The video ends with the band in white clothes, with some dancers, dressed in black, dancing for them, while the instruments play themselves. James Mackey plays the paramedic in the video. This music video was nominated for the 55th Annual Grammy Awards award for Best Short Form Music Video.
