this review isn't for any trick it is more for people who want to brush up on their magic history. If any of you are interested about Houdini a must have is "The Secret Life of Houdini" by William Kalush and Larry Sloman. for those of you who think you know a little about Houdini this book will blow you away. It tells even the smallest details of his very interesting life and shows you just how miraculous Houdini was on and off the stage. if you all want to learn a little about one of the greatest figures of magic this book will show you how just being technical and quick with your hands is not enough to excel in magic. You must have cunning and charisma which Houdini had a lot of

GREAT book!! A MUST for anyone who is into magic... for the history lesson... for the PR lesson! Imagine what a guy like Houdini could've done with the press today!

he did do magic for a long time especially card magic for a while his famous metamorphosis was also part of his show. towards his later years in order to come up with something new and more profitable he started to do escapes while he is remembered more for his escapes he did have a very deep magic magic background but back then magicians did not make a lot of money and it was hard to separate yourself from one another because it was not uncommon to take someone else's effect and call it your own.
