The life of Harry Houdini and his less famous partner, his brother Dash, includes details of his well-known career as a magician, as well as his interest in exposing fake mediums and other frauds. Sidebars highlight topics related to the early 20th century, such as child labor, the dime museums, and early aviation, an interest of Houdini's. This rags-to-riches story delves into the life of the great escapologist Harry Houdini, from his birth in a Hungarian ghetto to his death from a ruptured appendix at the age of fifty-two.
