"Handcuff King. Escape Artist. International Superstar."
Since his death eighty-eight years ago, Harry Houdini's life has
been chronicled in books, in film, and on television. Now, in this
groundbreaking biography, renowned magic expert William Kalush and
bestselling writer Larry Sloman team up to find the man behind the
myth. Drawing from millions of pages of research, they describe in
vivid detail the passions that drove Houdini to perform
ever-more-dangerous feats, his secret life as a spy, and a
pernicious plot to subvert his legacy.
"The Secret Life of Houdini" traces the arc of the master
magician's life from desperate poverty to worldwide fame--his
legacy later threatened by a group of fanatical Spiritualists led
by esteemed British author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Initiating the
reader along the way into the arcane world of professional magic,
Kalush and Sloman decode a life based on deception, providing an
intimate and riveting portrayal of Houdini, the man and the legend.
