Book excerpt: Harry Houdini was, without doubt, the greatest magician in history. Early in the twentieth century, he toured Europe and America with his amazing stage show, and as an escape artist, regularly escaped from straitjackets, jail cells, vaults, packing cases dropped into rivers, and a surprising variety of other contrivances. Some of the acts invented by Houdini, such as "Walking Through a Brick Wall" and "The Vanishing Elephant, " are still performed or attempted by professional magicians, but many of the secrets of his most incredible feats have never been discovered. However, in this volume, which has been lost for nearly a century, Houdini wrote down and left for posterity, the details of his favorite paper tricks and how you can do them yourself. With this remarkable guide, you can amaze your friends the mysterious feats of the master himself!
