The right way to do wrong

Sobre el libro The right way to do wrong de Harry Houdini publicado por Melville House al 2012:

One of the most intriguing and recognized figures of the twentieth century conducts a masterclass in subversion Originally published in 1906, "The Right Way to Do Wrong" was a masterclass in subversion conducted by the world´s greatest illusionist. It collected Hou-dini´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 proves himself to be just as clever and nimble a writer as he was a magician--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, Teller--magician, comedian, and silent sidekick of Penn Jillette--speaks up about the greatest magician of modern times. "He was the wonder of the world in an old world hungry for wonders. . . He was the embodiment of something incredible. . . He came to represent the sum of all amazements." "--The Guardian"
