How did he escape from sealed bank vaults...from an escape-proof jail? No one in the world has ever equaled Houdini's remarkable feats. This amazing man dared to accept any challenge, from being sealed in a boiler to being dropped into the sea in a locked, chain-wrapped trunk, and he never failed to escape! Read the true-life story of the Great Houdini. Learn his secrets. This insightful portrait of one of the world's greatest and most mystifying magicians traces Houdini's rise to worldwide fame and explores his fascination with the occult and his obsession with death. No man risked death so daringly; no man was so pursued by its shadow. He exposed mediums who claimed to communicate with the dead yet prayed that one day he would find one that was the real thing. There is some edge wear and corner chipping on the front cover, creasing on the bottom corner of the back cover (see the scan), and browning inside the covers (which is common with vintage paperbacks), but this book is still in very good condition. No collection of books on Houdini is complete without this one. Check out the scan for the great rendering of him on the cover and so you can judge the condition for yourself (unlike many other booksellers, who post generic scans, the book in my scan is the one you will get). You can try to buy this book for less money from one of those eBay booksellers with hundreds, if not thousands of negatives (you know the ones I refer to) and be lucky if the book is delivered to you in the stated condition (if you even get it at all), or you can buy it from me and be assured of a prompt delivery and of receiving an item true to the condition indicated. You won't be disappointed. Don't get left out; this book is long out of print! All previous buyers of my books on Houdini have been completely satisfied.
