Houdini, the magician, the man who evadeva from prison and was freed from every chain, the attraction to his shows attracted thousands of people ... But Houdini was much more: a collector of books, a lover of writing, an acute observer of reality. The right way to be wrong also said this: on the one hand a series of pieces in which the king of the magicians reveals the tricks of some colleagues and challenge all those who tried to imitate him.

 

On the other exposes the tricks used by pickpockets, shoplifters and swindlers with whom he often was compared to snatch the ingenious artifice. In addition to some tips for those who work, the book chronicles the most daring escapes, illusions and most extraordinary challenges, always won, with the other magicians. In the preface Lorenzo "Jovanotti" writes: "It is the book of a magician. A magician in the popular sense of the term, one that knows how to do one thing very well. There are magicians players, dancers, magicians, wizards writers, magicians, mechanics, electricians magicians ... They always say: that's a magician. Houdini was a magician to do his magic. "
