The Right Way to Do Wrong: A Unique Selection of Writings by History's Greatest Escape Artist (Neversink)
- Used Book in Good Condition
One of the most intriguing and recognized figures of the twentieth century conducts a masterclass in subversion

Originally published in 1906,Â The Right Way to Do WrongÂ was a masterclass in subversion conducted by the worldâ€™s greatest illusionist. It collected HouÂdiniâ€™s findings, from interviews with criminals and police officers, on the most surefire ways to commit crime and get away with it.

This volume presents the best of those writings alongside little-known articles by Houdini on his own brand of deception: magic. Revealing the secrets of his signature tricks, including handcuff and rope escapes, and debunking the methods of his rivals, he provesÂ himself to be just as clever and nimble a writer as he was a magicianâ€”and surprisingly free with trade secrets! All of which makes this unique selection of works both the ultimate anti-etiquette guide and proof that things are not always as they seem.

In an exclusive introduction to this volume, Tellerâ€”magician, comedian, and silent sidekick of Penn Jilletteâ€”speaks up about the greatest magician of modern times.
