Synopsis
Who was this man who could walk through brick walls and, with a snap of his fingers, vanish elephants? In these pages you will meet the astonishing Houdinimagician, ghost chaser, daredevil, pioneer aviator, and king of escape artists. No jail cell or straitjacket could hold him! He shucked off handcuffs as easily as gloves. In this fresh, witty biography of the most famous bamboozler since Merlin, Sid Fleischman, a former professional magician, enriches his warm homage with insider information and unmaskings. Did Houdini really pick the jailhouse lock to let a fellow circus performer escape? Were his secrets really buried with him? Was he a bum magician, as some rivals claimed? How did he manage to be born in two cities, in two countries, on two continents at the same instant? Here are the stories of how a knockabout kid named Ehrich Weiss, the son of an impoverished rabbi, presto-changoed himself into the legendary Harry Houdini. Here, too, are rare photographs never before seen by the general reader!, Who was this man who could walk through brick walls and, with a snap of his fingers, vanish elephants?

- r***4 (1089)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseFast Shipping and Quick shipping! Good Packaging. Good Price! Overall, good quality. Okay seller
- w***o (606)- Feedback left by buyer.Past yearVerified purchaseI received an entirely different cart from what was shown in the listing and in awful shape. I messaged the seller about it and they claimed that it was the same cart, but was listed 4 or 5 years ago and was in storage. The photos don't support this as you can see. I asked for a refund and they refunded less than the total of the item and shipping. It was only a $1.25 item, but that's the whole point. Would never do business with them again and definitely not for higher dollar amount items.NFL Quarterback Club 98 (Nintendo 64, 1997) (#383849421193)
