What's This Book About

Publisher Summary

“I am Houdini.Do you believe me now?At last?”A master of deception, Harry Houdini spent his life entertaining audiences with his own particular blend of illusion and magic. Whether he was escaping from locked trunks submerged in the water or dangling by his feet from the tops of skyscrapers, Houdini always tested the boundaries of the body, the forces of nature, and the imagination.In “The Secret of the Great Houdini,” Houdini must once again escape from a seemingly impossible bind. In the astonished crowd, a little boy finds himself mesmerized by the powers of freedom and human will that Houdini represented in his life. He discovers that Houdini’s secret goes far beyond his illusions, to something all people can attain – if only they believe they can.
