The book is an interesting mixture of techniques and history. There are sections on how to perform several different types of escapes, an interesting exposé of the methods of Mina Cransdon, who was known as the spirit medium Margery, and explanations of numerous magic tricks including illusions and close up effects. There are several photos of Houdini and drawings illustrating the magic sections. This is a rich compendium of information about many aspects of Houdini and his career. The hardback version of this book is hard to find today. As the photo shows, the dust jacket, while intact, has some condition issues, including sections that were long ago secured with tape. 280 pgs. Hardcover, 1953.
