About this title

Synopsis

With Harry Houdini, things are not always as they seem. Part expos�, part instruction manual, The Right Way To Do Wrong features history's most famous illusionist revealing the methods of deception involved in everything from burglary, to pickpocketing, to swindles, forgeries and tricks. Along the way, he also debunks the secrets of his own and other conjurer's tricks, as well as the secrets of sideshow circus acts. Houdini was as clever and nimble a writer as he was a magician, making this book the ultimate anti-etiquette guide.

About the Author

HARRY HOUDINI (born Erik Weisz, 1874-1926) was a Hungarian-born American escapologist, magician, stuntman, actor and film producer, and one of the most iconic figures of the twentieth century. Towards the end of his career he focused his energies on debunking spiritualists and mediums, and on the ethics of magic and illusion. <p/>TELLER (Introduction) is one half of magic and comedy duo Penn & Teller. He is the author of When I'm Dead All This Will Be Yours: Joe Teller--A Portrait By His Kid and, with Penn Jillette, of How to Play in Traffic, How to Play with Your Food and Penn & Teller's Cruel Tricks for Dear Friends. TV credits include the series Penn & Teller: Bullshit!, in which, like Houdini, the duo set out to debunk common beliefs.
