The secret: there are no secrets here,
By "arthurford" (Brooklyn, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Modern Day Houdini: Secrets of My 25 Greatest Escapes (Paperback)
I was disappointed in this book. Though 25 escapes are described, with various misadventures, etc., there are hardly any tips or tricks revealed. Good from a magician's code of honor viewpoint, but misleading. I was also disappointed in the photos-to-text ratio - nothing wrong with lots of photos, but most of these scream 'filler' to me. I think this is a perfectly ok book if you want to read what it's like to do Guinness Book-type stunts. If you're a Houdini fan, there's better out there.

This review is from: Modern Day Houdini: Secrets of My 25 Greatest Escapes (Paperback)
This what happen when a lay-person as opposed to an actual magician writes a book - don't waste your time. The entire book is about a self indulgent egotist.
