Product Description

Product Description

The legendary Harry Houdini started the tradition of magicians debunking charlatans and revealing secrets of the trade that continues today through the likes Penn and Teller or James "The Amazing" Randi. But Houdini went even further here, in this delightful 1906 novelty: he revealed the working secrets of thieves, swindlers, and con artists. Culled from his conversations with "the chiefs of police and the most famous detectives in the world," Houdini's tales of the tricks of the trade of beggars, pickpockets, and burglars are instructive and amusing. The master showman was also a surprisingly entertaining writer-and this is one of his most enjoyable books, one that will enthrall readers of true crime as well as fans of Houdini himself. Hungarian-American magician and professional skeptic EHRICH WEISS (1874-1926)-aka Harry Houdini, "Handcuff King and Jail Breaker"-also wrote Magical Rope Ties and Escapes (1920) and A Magician Among the Spirits (1924).

Format:Paperback
Mildly interesting book, and potentially useful to avoid being scammed back in the day but it's mostly just a list of scams you would expect to see someone like Wile E Coyote trying and failing because every 5 year old watching can see whats going to happen - and it really is little more than pamphlet for the money.

Not what i expected 6 Dec 2009
By Marty
Format:Paperback
If you expect this book to be gripping it isnt really. it was likely a good book at the time but its a bit dated now

Interesting 1 April 2010
Format:Paperback
A very simple but interesting book. Not much relevance to todays criminals but then again, it's not supposed to. I found it very factual and a good read in general. Recommend for anyone who is interested in old crimes
