Summary

He jumped shackled into rivers and lakes, he was buried alive, and, on occasion, he even escaped from milk cans. Harry Houdini’s stunts are legendary, but what drove this man to such lengths of spectacle?

In this book, we explore both the stunts Houdini pulled off on stage as well as the life he led off stage. You will learn the true trade secrets of this magician, a man who loved his family more than life itself. Houdini was also a man intrigued by spirits but made it his quest to debunk spiritualism. Yes, at times he seemed to be a living contradiction, but it all made sense to him. Here is the life and legend of Harry Houdini in full.
