In an exclusive introduction to this volume, Teller-magician, comedian, and silent sidekick of Penn Jillette-speaks up about the greatest magician of modern times. With this remarkable book, the legendary magician conducts a master class in crime by revealing the trade secrets of crooks. Revealing the secrets of his signature tricks, including handcuff and rope escapes, and debunking the methods of his rivals, he proves himself to be just as clever and nimble a writer as he was a magician-and surprisingly free with trade secrets! All of which makes this unique selection of works both the ultimate anti-etiquette guide and proof that things are not always as they seem. This volume presents the best of those writings alongside little-known articles by Houdini on his own brand of deception: magic. Yes, this book has been reprinted a zillion times, but this is not a reprint of the 1906 book. It collected Houdini’s findings, from interviews with criminals and police officers, on the most surefire ways to commit crime and get away with it. A brand new edition of Houdini's first book, The Right Way To Do Wrong, is set for release tomorrow by Melville House as part of The Neversink Library. Originally published in 1906, The Right Way to Do Wrong was a masterclass in subversion conducted by the world’s greatest illusionist. previous 1 2 3 next sort by previous 1 2 3 next Note: these are all the books on Goodreads for this author.
