The secret life of houdini5/15/2023 All the information seems well thought out and accurate. In California the authors recount stories where Houdini helped break up counterfeiting rings and bootleg operations. Apparently he was able to report on military conditions in these countries. He ventured into police stations and prisons that the U.S. Houdini was able to travel to Russia and Germany as a magician carrying lock picks and other odd items without arousing undo suspicion. What makes this different than other Houdini biographies is the authors research into how Houdini helped out the secret service as well as the local police to fight crime. That really helps with helping you see the world Houdini lived in, kinda sets the historical stage. This book seems very well researched, lots of pictures not only of Houdini but of people he knew, and places he went. Where to start? Firstly I love books with short chapters, makes for easier reading and forces you to read just a bit more then you find yourself reading a bit more and more next thing you know you have read 100 pages.
