The Life and Many Deaths of Harry Houdini by Ruth Brandon
For many performers, stage life and real life are separate identities. For master illusionist Harry Houdini, the two were inextricably linked. In this widely acclaimed biography, Ruth Brandon shows how Houdini’s obsession with his own mortality drove him to create death-defying stunts that not only captivated the public but also subdued his own raging psychological demons.
As Brandon relates Houdini’s methods of escape, she asks: What was he trying to escape from? Her exploration of the psychic landscape of one of the most enduringly famous performers of the twentieth century makes for utterly fascinating reading. Brandon reveals much that is new: how Houdini invented a phantom son; why he wrote long daily letters to his wife, Bess, who lived one ?oor below him; his combative relations with mediums and spiritualists, including Arthur Conan Doyle; and the ?rst full description of his fabled death. This de?nitive biography allows readers to peer into Houdini’s psyche and understand him more deeply than ever before.
Pages: 355 – 5″ x 8″ – Softcover – Black and white photos
Magician Magazine (Houdini Issue)
The inaugural issue is one the that is simply full of tricks and effects to get you started. After all, what kind of magicians would we be if we didn’t have anything to demonstrate? And in this issue, you will find some of the greatest minds in the business offering you everything from chicken wing magic (no kidding) to some amazing card effects. And, best yet, these are all things that you can, and hopefully will, go out and perform. And, that brings us to something that has a special place in my heart…
The performance. As primarily a performer, I realize how important it is not just learn technique but how crucial it is to learn how to apply those techniques to real world situations. And that’s what I hope to bring to you with this magazine. Our motto of, “Learn. Conjure. Mystify.” Is exactly what we want you to do and I hope to contribute with the “mystify” part. Whether it’s a Magic Friday or a piece on The Approach, I believe, that through this magazine, we can all teach and help each other to becoming the greatest magicians the world has ever seen. Let’s do it together.” – Jamie Grant, Editor-At-Large
