2854-3791) THE SECRETs OF HOUDINI by J.C. Cannell
Published in 1938 by Hutchinson & Co., Ltd. of London, England.
Stated: 38th Thousand and part of the Pocket Library series.
PaperBound with 252pages. Book is 71 years old and in pretty good condition.
The contents pages were so detailed, I've reproduced them for you below, for ease in reading. Just click on the thumbnail photo to bring up the larger photo.
World-famous illusionist, master deluder, showman; Harry Houdini (alias of Ehrich Weiss) is one of the most legendary figures of the modern stage, and probably the most controversial and misunderstood magician of all times. So fantastic were his tricks that many thought him to be supernatural, a mystic, and an amazing spiritualist. Exposing his closely kept professional secrets, and revealing in general terms the whole art of stage magic, this book is now considered a classic study of Houdini's strange deceptions.
J. C. Cannell, professional magician, friend, and colleague of Houdini in the Magician's Club, was the first to explain rationally how Houdini achieved his tricks. These include the famous challenges to death, escapes from bank vaults and from a Russian prison van lined with zinc, walking through brick walls, escapes from crates under water, disappearing ladies, women floating in mid-air, vanishing elephants, ghostly manifestations, séances, card tricks, rope tricks, mind reading, spirit messages, and miracles. All of these and much more are discussed in clear, simple language, and for better understanding, the author has included numerous line drawings of Houdini's ingenious escape devices, with diagrams of the more complicated tricks.
When the first edition of this book was published shortly after Houdini's death in 1926, it caused such a controversy that many people refused to believe the author. Yet if you are interested in magic, the stage, or the fabulous life of Harry Houdini, you are certain to find this book a fascinating experience. Perhaps the only way to really understand Houdini is to read this book and judge for yourself. Don't be surprised if the author keeps you glued to each page as you follow step by step some of the most incredible stunts of the century.

2719-8435) DEATH BLOW! Was Houdini Murdered? by Norman Bigelow.
Copyright 1983 with 68pages.
Stapled manuscript measuring approx. 8 1/2"x11"
As the author puts it: "In writing this manuscript, I realize that the theory of murder will not be well received by some, but at the same time, I would like to propose the idea that the theory of murder in the Houdini case is as reasonable and as good as any that has been offered since his death.....we will review just a few of the many, many comments made by historians which may have some bearing on the case."
Referring to interviews the author, himself, has conducted, along with many excerpts from a ton of sources, the author weaves the plot of Houdini having been murdered by the ‘spiritualist’, etc. during the days Houdini was campaigning his WAR against their efforts to deceive the public.
This was the first book/manuscript ever written about the subject -and- is actually a pretty good read, if you know what I mean?
In addition to the DEATH BLOW manuscript, you receive three additional items:
1) Norman Bigelow - Grandmaster. A one page bio about the author.
2) An 8x10 of Norm performing the DOORs OF DEATH, back in 1972, at Brown University

2617-9636) OSCAR ELIASON:The Original "Dante The Great" by Kent Blackmore
His life and travels in Australia and New Zealand 1989-1899.
Revised edition 1987. Sydney, Australia.
PaperBound with 36pages and many photographs.
Ask almost any magician today to tell you about Dante and they will start to discuss Harry Jansen (1883-1955) the illusionist who took the name "Dante" to great and deserved heights of fame.
But there was another "Dante" before Jansen: a magician whose talents, although scarcely known today, deserve to be recorded.
Oscar Eliason (1869-1899) showed the potential to have become one of the magical greats of the early twentieth century. Only the tragic earliness of his death prevented his skill becoming more widely known.
This book is Eiason's story, with emphasis on his Australasian tours between 1898 and 1899. It has been possible, through newspaper research, to build up an almost complete tour route for this period, which together with theatrical reviews and portraits, makes up an interesting history of the man who first performed as: DANTE.
