About this book
This biography of Houdini is based on Harry's many autobiographical fragments, diary entries, clippings of the era, as well as memories left by his wife, Beatrice, who married Harry when he was nineteen and remained with him as spouse and co-worker until Harry's death at age 52. Through this book, the biographer gives us insight into Houdini's methods, as well as inside looks at the inner workings of some of his most famous illusions. (Summary by Mark Harrington)
