RAVE - The Secret Life of Houdini, by William Kalush and Larry Sloman

Houdini is one of those characters - like Richard The Lionheart, Sir Lancelot, Henry VIII and John Lennon - that I've always been intrigued by and attracted to.

This book reminds me of everything I already kind of knew about Houdini, as well as a ton of stuff I'd never heard before. He was the "real thing", inventive and brave, a showman and a detective.

The book delivers truth behind all those stories we've heard about Houdini, and acts as a reminder of just what a charlatan David Blaine is.
