With all the excitement and press surrounding the release of
The Secret Life of Houdini, some may have overlooked the release this Halloween of another Houdini related book,
The Houdini Principle by Tim Kenning.
The Houdini Principle looks at the exploits and escapes of Harry Houdini as a catalyst for modern day creative thinking and problem solving.
A similar book,
The Houdini Solution
, was released earlier this year, but
The Houdini Principle is, to my eye, the superior book. It’s certainly the book that will interest Houdini fans more as it deals specially with events (escape and otherwise) in Houdini’s life, and is illustrated with some nice pics. It also offers an appendix of Houdini resources; books, documentaries, museums and websites (including my own Houdini Lives!).
The Houdini Principle can be purchased from
Amazon.com
(U.S.) and
Amazon.co.uk (UK). For more information on
The Houdini Principle website.
