Houdini’s Escapes and Magic
by Walter B. Gibson
Buy on AmazonReading Houdini’s Escapes led to many other books on magic and launched an all-consuming pursuit of the art of conjuring. The resulting act earned me as much as $30 a show — in the 1950s! — and I played enough church basements, etc., that I was able to lend my schoolteacher parents $700 for a new car.
