Contact seller5-star sellerSoftcover. Condition: Good. Harry Houdini's fame is secure as the greatest magician of modern times. Many of his fabulous escapes, indeed, now sound more like legend than history, yet they really happened. He permitted himself to be thrown, manacled, into the Hudson River; to be nailed into packing cases and lowered into the oce…an; to be suspended by the ankles, strait-jacketed, hundreds of feet above the ground -- and in every case escaped easily.This book is Houdini's own account of these exploits, supplemented with rare photographs and posters, first-hand material from periodicals and pamphlets, and behind-the-scenes revelations of some of the master's most prized secrets: how he picked locks, how he sawed a girl in half to become twins, how he walked through a brick wall, how a girl can vanish from a sheet of plate glass without trapdoors, hoists, mirrors, or other such apparatus.There are also instructions for performing 44 stage tricks, including the coin and glass, the Indian needle trick, and other standards. These are illustrated with diagram sequences that cover every step in performance. Finally, of special interest to many readers are Houdini's accounts of great magicians of history and of Houdini's own battles with spiritualists and fraudulent mediums.

Contact seller5-star sellerOctavo, five issues, pictorial wrappers bound in blue boards with gold stamping to spine. A bound volume of all five issues that were noted magician Joseph Dunningers copy, with his signed name and also inscribed and signed by editor/author Walter Gibson to Joe Dunninger. Gibson wrote several books about magic for Dunninger, the…y were lifelong friends. This is likely a presentation volume to Dunninger. Tales of Magic and Mystery was a short lived magazine which published stories and articles about magic and the occult, as well as some short fiction. The March, 1928 issue published the H. P. Lovecraft short story "Cool Air." Other authors of fiction include Frank Owen, Miriam Allen de Ford, Archie Binns, Robert Leslie Bellem and others. Gibson wrote most non-fiction material under his own name and also using the pseudonyms, Alfred Maurice and Bernard Perry. Issues slightly trimmed for binding, otherwise quite fine with little tanning to text paper, mostly cream colored. At the base of the spine is stamped "Dunninger Collection." A lovely presentation. (31906).
