Houdini’s Flight $25.99 To escape takes a special kind of magic. Terry Voulos is struggling. His marriage, his relationship with his son and his work prospects are shaky. He finds solace in the possibility of a new career as a magician, before a tragic accident sends him into exile, estranged from all that is familiar. Hal Sargeson, a one-time magician and lifelong disciple of Harry Houdini, takes Terry under his wing. He begins to school Terry in the same arts of escape that the great Houdini used to thrill Australian audiences a hundred years earlier, but keeps to himself a knot that might have beaten even the master. Terry is eventually brought to truths more disturbing than his present troubles, and to a moment when the healing power of magic is truly needed. Between Houdini’s example and Hal’s guidance, Terry learns much more than the routine illusions of the everyday magician. HOUDINI’S FLIGHT is a moving and surprising story of finding meaning in the most unexpected places. ‘a narrative of primary colours. The openness is hard to resist’ Michael McGirr, THE SYDNEY MORNING HERALD, on THE MEMORY OF TIDES |

Since his death eighty years ago, Harry Houdini’s life has been chronicled in books, in film, and on television. Now, in this groundbreaking biography, renowned magic expert William Kalush and best-selling writer Larry Sloman team up to find the man behind the myth. Drawing from millions of pages of research, they describe in vivid detail the passions that drove Houdini to perform ever-more-dangerous feats, his secret life as a spy, and a pernicious plot to subvert his legacy. After years of struggling on the dime museum circuit, Harry Houdini got a break that put him on the front page of a Chicago newspaper. He never looked back. Soon Houdini was performing for royalty, commanding vast sums, and exploring the new power of Hollywood to expand on his legend. At a time when spy agencies frequently co-opted amateurs, Houdini went to London and developed a relationship with a man who would run MI-5. For the next several years, the world’s most famous magician traveled to Germany and Russia and routinely reported his findings. After World War I was successfully concluded, Houdini embarked on a battle of his own. He created a group of disguised field operatives to infiltrate the seamy world of fake spirit mediums. In doing so, Houdini triggered the wrath of fanatical Spiritualists, led by the esteemed British author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Death threats became an everyday occurrence, but the group would pose an even greater danger to Houdini’s legacy. Rigorously researched, and as exciting as a good thriller, The Secret Life of Houdini traces the arc of the master magician’s life from desperate poverty to worldwide legend, initiating the reader along the way into the arcane world of professional magic. In this remarkable book, Kalush and Sloman decode a life based on deception, providing an intimate and riveting portrayal of Houdini, the man and the legend. |

The Last Greatest Magician In The World: Howard Thurston Versus Houdini & The Battles Of The American Wizards $18.59 Here is the seminal biography of the magician’s magician Howard Thurston a man who surpassed Houdini in the eyes of showmen and fans and set the standard fro how stage magic is performed today. Everyone knows Houdini-but who was Thurston? In this rich vivid biography of the "greatest magician in the world " celebrated historian of stage magic Jim Steinmeyer captures the career and controversies of the wonder-worker extraordinaire Howard Thurston. The public’s fickleness over magicians has left Thurston all but forgotten today. Yet Steinmeyer shows how his story is one of the most remarkable in show business. During his life from 1869 to 1936 Thurston successfully navigated the most dramatic changes in entertainment-from street performances to sideshows to wagon tours through America’s still-wild West to stage magic amid the glitter of grand theaters. Thurston became one of America’s most renowned vaudeville stars boldly performing an act with just a handful of playing cards and then had the foresight to leave vaudeville expanding his show into an extravaganza with more than forty tons of apparatusand costumes. His touring production was an American institution for nearly thirty years and Thurston earned a brand name equal to Ziegfeld or Ringling Brothers. Steinmeyer explores the stage and psychological rivalry between Thurston and Houdini during the first decades of the twentieth century- a contest that Thurston won. He won with a bigger show a more successful reputation and the title of America’s greatest magician. In The Last Greatest Magician in the World Thurston’s magic show is revealed as the one that animates our collective memories.Here is the seminal biography of the magician’s magician Howard Thurston a man who surpassed Houdini in the eyes of showmen and fans and set the standard fro how stage magic is performed today.

But the Magician always says, “Not yet, Boy. Not till the time is right.” So the Boy has to be content with polishing the Magician’s wand, taking care of the rabbits the Magician pulls out of hats, and doing his favorite job: operating the puppets for the play Saint George and the Dragon, which the Magician always performs as part of his act. Until one day the Saint George puppet disappears, and the angry Magician hurls the Boy into the strange Land of Story to find Saint George. His quest is full of adventures with oddly familiar people, from the Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe to the Giant at the top of Jack’s beanstalk. But the Boy’s last adventure is the most amazing of all — and changes his life forever. |

Spellbinder: The Life of Harry Houdini $25.5 He was born Ehrich Weiss, but at an early age he chose another name for himself, a name to suit his career of magic, entertainment, and fame — Harry Houdini. He understood the powerful draw of the unseen and unknown, and his mesmerizing tricks remain a challenging legacy for magicians even today. From Publishers Weekly This highly readable biography about Harry Houdini (1874-1926), the famous magician and escape artist, casts a spell of its own. Through the well-researched and fast-paced narrative, Lalicki (Light Shining Through the Mist: A Photobiography of Dian Fossey) sifts through the many contradictions of Houdini’s life to unveil the circumstances leading up to Houdini’s stratospheric success. Born Ehrich Weiss in Budapest, the future magician immigrated with his family to the U.S. in 1878. By age 18, he had channeled his drive and a love of performing into magic, choosing the stage name Harry Houdini in homage to master magician Robert-Houdin. Lalicki effectively underscores the tandem guiding influences of Houdini’s mother and his wife, Bess Rahner, who also acted as his assistant, in describing a career that spanned from 1892-1926. The author also puts Houdini’s success into perspective at a time when people had little money and media coverage was scarce. He attributes Houdini’s breakthrough, in large part, to his 1899 introduction to Martin Beck, who backed him and encouraged Houdini to drop the more banal magician’s tricks in favor of innovative escapes, which he mastered through intense physical exertion and practice (e.g., he spent more than three years perfecting the Chinese Water-Torture Cell escape before performing it in 1912). Unfortunately, the design of the biography resembles a textbook more than a volume befitting its dazzling subject. However, photographs and memorabilia documenting Houdini’s superhuman feats (including escapes from jail cells and hanging upside-down in a straitjacket, suspended over a crowded Washington, D. |
