The book covers Houdinis earliest years at home and follows him as he sets off at a very young age to get a job and help support his family. But the thing that really stands out in the book is his love of the art and the man. He also personally knew Bess Houdini, Harrys widow, and so had access to information and photographs that others wouldnt have had. Fleischmans connection to the prestidigitation arts gives him an insiders knowledge and love of the craft.
I dont know that anyone else could have written this book.
His love of the magicians art inspired him to write this very interesting and engaging book on Houdini, perhaps the greatest magician the world has ever known and definitely the most famous bamboozler in all of history. Sid Fleischman, the talented Newberry Medalist, used to work as a professional magician and had an understandable interest in Harry Houdini.
