"Houdini: The Man Who Walked Through Walls" relates the
fascinating journey of Harry Houdini, born Ehrich Weiss in Pest,
Hungary, through boyhood in Appleton, Wisconsin, to maturity in New York
city and to the pinnacle of the escape artist profession. Erich, the
son of a rabbi, adopted the name "Houdini" to honor his magician idol,
Robert-Houdin, after being told that, in French, the addition of an "I"
gave the meaning of "like", hence, "like Houdin". His idolization of
Robert-Houdin continued until Robert-Houdin's widow spurned his homage,
after which he utilized every opportunity to disparage the memory of
Robert-Houdin.
This book highlights Houdini the Showman. It does
this by chronicling Houdini's repeated publicity stunts and tours
through two continents. The reader may be surprised to learn that
Houdini first achieved success in Europe, where he spent much of his
career on tour. Houdini's modus operandi was to fill the stands by
conducting publicity stunts, often by releasing himself from the best
bindings the local police or workers in insane asylums could muster.
