"Harry Houdini" (also titled as "Arts in 'D' Minor/Harry Houdini") is a song by Canadian synthpop band Kon Kan, released as the second single from their 1989 debut album Move to Move. The song did not match the success of their previous single "I Beg Your Pardon", managing to just scrape into the top forty in their native Canada at #39. In the UK, the song reached #88. In New Zealand, the song peaked at #14 in September 1989.

The song contains a sample of "White Lines" by Grandmaster Melle Mel and an interpolation of Blondie's "The Tide Is High".
