Read Houdini Books For Free

by Average Joggler on July 14, 2010

Here’s a cool website I found while surfing the other day. Jugglers will certainly be interested but so will anyone who like magic and ventriloquism. I’m a huge fan so please excuse the self-indulgent post.

It turns out the Library of Congress has allowed Google to post the Harry Houdini Collection.

Here you can find some excellent, free books like…

Ventrilogquism Explained.

Tricks for Amateurs

I love the Internet more when I find stuff like this.

Houdini was a fascinating guy. It’s interesting that he spent years trying to expose fraudulent mediums showing that he could perform the same feats using trickery. Some take this to mean that he was an atheist, but that is not necessarily the case. He did not believe that we could communicate with the dead, but he probably still believed in the afterlife. At least that’s what William Kalush and Larry Sloman, the authors of The Secret Life of Houdini, believe.
