These are fully-illustrated with diagram sequences that cover every step in the performance. There are also instructions for performing 44 stage tricks, including the coin and glass, the Indian needle trick, and other standards. 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. Houdini permitted himself to be thrown, manacled, into the Hudson River to be nailed into packing cases and lowered into the ocean to be suspended by the ankles, strait-jacketed, hundreds of feet above the ground-and in every case, he escaped easily. This magical tale of a young boy who discovers a way to escape from any situation he is in has quickly become one of the most popular animated films of all time. Many of his fabulous escapes, indeed, now sound more like legend than history, yet they really happened! Houdini, the first ever feature-length animated film, has been captivating audiences all over the world since its release in 2020. With 23 Resident Magicians, Magic Bartenders and Amazing Drinks enjoy a day. Harry Houdini's fame is secure as the greatest magician of modern times. Houdinis Magic Bars are the first Award Winning Magic Bars in the South East.
