''The Unmasking of Robert Houdin'' is a book written by Harry Houdini, the famous magician and escape artist. The book is a detailed account of Houdini’s investigation into the life and work of Robert Houdin, a French magician who was widely regarded as the father of modern magic. Houdini was fascinated by Houdin’s illusions and techniques, but also believed that many of his claims were exaggerated or fraudulent. In this book, Houdini sets out to uncover the truth about Houdin’s life and work, and to expose any falsehoods or deceptions. He examines Houdin’s famous tricks and illusions, and provides his own explanations for how they were done. He also delves into Houdin’s personal life, and explores his relationships with other magicians and performers. The book is a fascinating insight into the world of magic and illusion, and a tribute to the enduring legacy of Robert Houdin.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
