I really don't understand why this has gotten such good reviews. I found that if you aren't a
Houdini fan, it won't benefit you much. It's more like a bunch of Houdini stunts revealed. Not
necessarily methods or teaching, but just saying how he might have fooled you with something. there
is some short biographical stuff in it, some close up, and even a little historical references to
some greats at the time. But overall I hated this book. SOrry
