Houdini was the first to fly in australia,
The police helped him "jump start" his career and send him to superstardom (is that a word?)
Inspired by Houdin and then tried to tear him down
Sir arthur Conan Doyle was the likely culpret behind the piltdown man hoax,
houdini was a spy,
he was poisoned and that's how he died?
Meticulously researched and easy to read. I just finished it and loved every page.
I am sure that some of you that think you know everything about Houdini will cast off some of this as nonsense. But, if you are open to the posibility that there may be some new information out there, this book might change your views on the Houdini you thought you knew.
The authors make a strong case for all of the above. They spend a fair amount of time discussing
WHY he went in the directions he did along his career the circumstances of his family and the ties that may have pushed and pulled him to go in certain directions. I loved the back story that this BIO provided. I'd recommend this book to anyone that likes biographies and would love hear what some of that alrady "know" everything about Houdini think.
Andrew - Can I borrow a spirit slate? I'm inspired to take on the next spiritualist i see.
