Synopsis
After twenty years of painstaking research, Houdini’s last great riddle has finally been solved. This unique book investigates the baffling intimate performance Houdini created for his friend Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The exploit made the creator of Sherlock Holmes insist that Harry had employed occult or supernatural powers to accomplish it. As bestselling author Richard Wiseman points out in this innovative book’s introduction, it also describes the very fabric of magic itself, including the complex relationships between each generation of performers, the way in which tricks evolve over time, and ultimately, the surprising truth about the fundamental nature of mystery.

From the Author
I have created a Facebook page for Houdini's Final Incredible Secret. It augments and amplifies parts of the book. After 20 years of research I had quite a bit I could not put into the book. The page will include pictures and relevant information on Houdini and his amazing life, BUT you will have to read the book for the complete story. You can find it at
