Harry Houdini,Teller
One of the most intriguing and recognized figures of the twentieth century conducts a masterclass in subversion ,Originally published in 1906,Â ,The Right Way to Do Wrong,Â was a masterclass in subversion conducted by the worldâ€™s greatest illusionist. It collected HouÂ­diniâ€™s findings, from interviews with criminals and police officers, on the most surefire ways to commit crime and get away with it.,This volume presents the best of those writings alongside little-known articles by Houdini on his own brand of deception: magic. Revealing the secrets of his signature tricks, including handcuff and rope escapes, and debunking the methods of his rivals, he provesÂ  himself to be just as clever and nimble a writer as he was a magicianâ€”and surprisingly free with trade secrets! All of which makes this unique selection of works both the ultimate anti-etiquette guide and proof that things are not always as they seem.,In an exclusive introduction to this volume, Tellerâ€”magician, comedian, and silent sidekick of Penn Jilletteâ€”speaks up about the greatest magician of modern times.
