Silverman
No Reviews Yet
Nearly 75 years after his death, Houdini's name remains synonymous with magic. He is remembered as a miracle worker of near mythological stature and accounts of his exploits are often repeated. In Houdini., biographer Kenneth Silverman draws on diaries and personal scrapbooks never before used, as well as stenographic transcripts, court records and hundreds of unpublished notes and letters to produce a fascinating and rich account of Houdini's life. Supported by exhaustive research and illuminated by more than 100 photographs of Houdini in action, this is the definitive work on the magician by a master biographer. Full color dust jacket.
