Publisher's Summary

Many people will probably not recognize the name Erik Weisz or Ehrich Weiss. But an expression of awe will definitely come across the face if someone says Harry Houdini. Yes, these two names belong to the same man, The Great Houdini.

Harry Houdini was an illusionist and stunt performer, famous for his sensational acts in the first part of the 20th century. He is especially famous for his escape acts and escaped from handcuffs, chains, and ropes slung from skyscrapers, and straitjackets under water. He even escaped from a sealed milk can.

While most people know about his sensational acts, not many know a lot about Harry Houdini's life. This audiobook is an attempt to look at the lesser known facts about his life and also follow his journey to fame and later.
