Product Description

The legendary magician and illusionist Harry Houdini turns a critical eye to the astonishing claims of those in his own profession. Using personal research and observations, Houdini reveals the cunning techniques employed by fire-eaters, sword swallowers, and other masters of deception to mystify and amaze audiences around the world. This classic skeptical work explores and exposes the methods of such 'wonders' as The Incombustible Spaniard, Defiers of Poisonous Reptiles and many others. Originally published in the 1920s, "Miracle Mongers and Their Methods" scrupulously examines the direct predecessors of modern psychics and mentalists. The ever-present fascination with psychics and miracle mongers makes this book as timely as when it was originally written.
