Houdini emigrated to America and made a name for himself surrounded by myths that are alive and well today. Harry Houdini was born in Hungary in 1874 (although Bob’s book explains why there are alternative theories!). But it was certainly one of his most fascinating.įor the uninitiated, Houdini was one of the most famous stage magicians in history.

It wasn’t even Houdini’s most dangerous trick. It wasn’t Houdini’s most famous trick by any means. Thanks to Bob, one of Houdini’s greatest tricks has been revealed. The book represents twenty years of passionate research and is a witty and thorough exploration to untangle the mystery of Houdini’s great secret. Bob explains how he uncovered Houdini’s secret in his book Houdini’s Final Incredible Secret (available on Amazon). Bob’s ardent detective work would make even Sherlock Holmes himself sit up and take note. But lucky for us, the story lived on and caught the attention of magic historian Bob Loomis.

Houdini never revealed the secret even to his closest confidants.
