Houdini permitted himself to be thrown, manacled, into the Hudson River to be nailed into packing cases and lowered into the ocean to be suspended by the ankles, strait-jacketed, hundreds of feet above the ground-and in every case, he escaped easily. ![]() Many of his fabulous escapes, indeed, now sound more like legend than history, yet they really happened! Harry Houdini's fame is secure as the greatest magician of modern times. "If you love learning about the history of magic and are intrigued by the driven path that Houdini took to global fame, I highly recommend this book." -Stuart Philip, MyLovelyAssistant
