Unmasking of Robert-Houdin

About this book

This work is by Harry Houdini, and was an attempt, by him, to undermine the public reverence for the man regarded as the master of modern magic, Robert-Houdin. Initially enamored of him, even making his stage name from him by an adding an 'i' to it, Houdini felt that the Robert-Houdin family had slighted him and so wrote this work in an attempt to discredit the man. It backfired on him instead! - Summary by Cavaet
