Harry Houdini / Welsh, Cel; Singh, Lalit Kumar (ill.) 2009  Book
Welsh, Cel Book
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication New Delhi, Kalyani Navyug Media, 2009.
Description 80pGrey Spine
Summary/Abstract This is the life story of Ehrich Weiss. If you don't recognize this man's name, that is because the world came to know him as the one and only Harry Houdini. His ability to get out of seemingly impossible situations, along with his knack of dealing with the public and the press, made him a legend in his own time. Some of his most notable escapes, which still cannot be explained, were the Mirror Handcuff Challenge, the Milk Can Escape, the Chinese Water Torture Cell and the Suspended Straitjacket Escape. How did a poor, uneducated boy rise out of poverty and become the greatest illusionist of the 20th century? The story of Houdini's life is not only entertaining, but also educational. His struggles in life and his determination to succeed are a lesson to all.

Summary/Abstract Harry Weiss, later known by his stage name, Harry Houdini — and his brother, Dash, are enthralled when the circus comes to their Wisconsin town. Harry loves all the acts, but his favourites are the tightrope and the amazing trick where a man hangs from a rope with his teeth! Harry and Dash decide to try circus tricks in a nearby barn, and although Harry’s headstrong determination leads him and his brother into trouble, it also opens up a whole new world for him — a world of performance that later becomes his life’s passion.
