WIN an early copy of The Life and Afterlife of Harry Houdini

UPDATE: This competition is now closed. Winner announced here.

Thanks to Avid Reader Press, today I can offer readers a chance to win a copy of The Life and Afterlife of Harry Houdini in advance of its October 22 release. All you need to do is take a stab at the following.

In his search for Houdini, author Joe Posnanski encounters:

1. A woman who runs away from home to chase her dream of becoming a magician.
2. An Italian who revives Houdini’s most famous illusion every night.
3. A performer at the Magic Castle who calls himself Houdini’s Ghost. 
4. A man in Los Angeles whose sole mission is life has been to keep the legend’s name alive.

If you can correctly guess the identity any ONE of these people, email it to me along with your mailing address. I will then use my spirit guide to do a random drawing. The only catch is you must be in the U.S. (Addresses are only so I can forward the winner to the publisher, I will not keep or share any addresses otherwise.)

I will post the name of the winner on Wednesday along with the identities of each person in the book description.

And if you just want to get the book the old fashioned way, it can be pre-ordered at Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk (UK release October 31).

Good luck!
