Unmasking of Robert-Houdin

Harry Houdini

Written by Harry Houdini, 'Unmasking of Robert-Houdin' critiques the legacy of Jean-Eugène Robert-Houdin, who is often considered the father of modern magic. Initially inspired by Robert-Houdin, Houdini later sought to discredit him due to perceived slights from the Robert-Houdin family. This 1908 work reveals Houdini's complex relationship with his predecessor and highlights the tensions within the world of magic. The book serves as both a personal manifesto and a historical examination of the art of illusion.
