Gresham explains many of Houdini's illusions, and debunks some of the many myths surrounding the performer. Houdini's interest in the supernatural is examined, as are his efforts to expose the many fraudulent mediums and spiritualists of the time. Included are 8 pages of photographs." >>>Cover creasing & scuffing. Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. Book.
