Description
"Harry Houdini, the world's most famous magician, is introduced to children in this fascinating biography that includes 21 magic tricks and illusions. Children will be inspired by this Jewish immigrant who grew up in poverty and went on to become one of the most popular and successful entertainers of all time. Houdini was an artist who created his acts carefully, practicing them for years in some cases. He did such seemingly impossible stunts as escaping several sets of handcuffs and ropes after jumping off a bridge into a flowing river. Kids will learn how he devised his most famous stunts such as the disappearing elephant. The tricks and illusions presented here are simple, entertaining, and fun. They include stepping through a note card, sticking a needle into a balloon without popping it, and making a coin vanish. A time line and listing of books and Web sites complement this thoroughly entertaining book."--,Provided by publisher.
