Harry Houdini mesmerised a generation when he was alive, and continues to do so over ninety years since his death. This is a snapshot of Houdini's life, centring on one of his most famous feats. As Houdini prepares for a death-defying leap into the icy Charles River in Boston, this book reveals Houdini's life and influence: from his egoism to his insecurity; from his public persona - to the secret behind his most amazing trick! And it's all in graphic form, so it's fresh, original, and unlike anything previously published previously published about this most fascinating of American showmen.
