Originally published as: SPELLBINDER: The Life of Harry Houdini. He
was born Ehrich Weiss but, at an early age, he chose another name
for himself. He wanted a name to suit his career of magic and
entertainment and he chose a name that paid homage to one of the
legendary magicians of all time: Robert Houdin. His illusions and
escapes were more astonishing and more challenging than anyone had
ever done before and he eclipsed the names of all other magicians
as his fame reached around the world, made him famous and made him
the most famous illusionist ever. Houdini disappeared through brick
walls. He escaped from straitjackets and then straitjackets
immersed in water. He performed escapes in public places and from
jail cells in major cities--and the crowds flocked to his
performances. Tom Lalicki tells Houdini's story with a fascinating
mix of text and images, revealing the facts and juxtaposing them
with startling images of a master entertainer performing
masterfully and mysteriously, mesmerizing his audiences and
mystifying experts with his skill and his invention.
