Synopsis:

In 1918, Harry Houdini performed a single illusion that has been hotly debated ever since - he made a live elephant disappear on stage. This book looks at how he might have managed to achieve this trick, as well as featuring the other eccentric personalities who manage to make the impossible possible.
