This scarce 1909 book aimed at Houdini’s German audiences is filled with so many great photos of Houdini and his escapes that you won’t mind if you don’t read German. It’s a rarely seen but essential part of Houdini’s career and literary output.
The contents include 25 illustrations, with many uncommon photos of Houdini, analyses of handcuffs, and studies of numerous types of escape devices.
Our facsimile reproduces the 1909 first edition from the Karr Collection. Like our other reprints, we haven’t re-typeset the text, so you can see the actual original pages.
Note: You can also purchase this book with our other Houdini-authored works and save. See: The Complete Houdini Bookshelf
