Gibson VINTAGE BOOK in VERY GOOD CONDITION: the title was written on the top edge and there is an indent caused from something being written on top of it which can be noticed if tilting the cover in the light at a certain angle which I noticed while taking pictures The pages are a lot whiter than the photos make it appear. ALSO INCLUDED: a Newspaper clipping dated 10-29-2006 revealing Houdini as a wartime spy; and a clipping from an auction catalogue that shows an example of his autograph. Here's a link to the Wikipedia biography of ESCAPE ARTIST HOUDINI: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Houdini Copied from SMITHSONIAN LIBRARIES about the book: In 1926, world-famous magician Harry Houdini died of peritonitis following a ruptured appendix. Before his death, he had planned to write several books on varied subjects, including his own career and magical secrets. Fortunately, he had discussed these ideas and shared his notes with Bernard Ernst, president of the Society of American Magicians. Ernst arranged for Walter B. Gibson— a fellow magician, the creator of the pulp fiction character The Shadow, and Houdini's ghost writer— to prepare Houdini’s Escapes. If you're hoping to learn the secret of the Chinese Water Torture Cell, you’re out of luck. Some of Houdini’s best-known tricks were redacted from this work after review by the Society of American Magicians' Committee on Exposures. But many other tricks are explained, often with illustrations showing how the master magician managed his spectacular escapes. CONTACT ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS! ALL MAGIC IS NON-RETURNABLE!
