Harry Houdini was released by Kon Kan on the 1989 album Move to Move, after the group found international success with I Beg Your Pardon. Kon Kan was formed in Toronto by Barry Harris and the name was a play on Canadian content rules. The track never matched the first single's chart run and stayed a lesser known part of the catalogue, which helped it resurface online as an obscure find. Short clips now circulate as nostalgic, slightly bizarre audio for retro edits.

Kon Kan Harry Houdini is a retro synthpop dance clip from the Canadian act Kon Kan, used for nostalgic edits, throwback posts and ironic 2010s-style memes.
This clip is a short excerpt from Harry Houdini by Kon Kan, the Canadian synthpop project led by Barry Harris. It has the bright late 1980s dance pop sound of layered synths, a steady electronic beat and a catchy, slightly eccentric vocal hook. Cut down to just a few seconds, it feels instantly retro and a little strange, which is why it lands well as a throwback cue. It gives a scene a vintage club energy without needing a full song, and the dated production is part of the charm for listeners who like obscure pop hits.
