In Houdini’s unmistakable hand, “To P. Pesky with compliments of the author Harry Houdini, June 7-1916, 394. E. 21st Brooklyn N.Y.” Inked in the bold, NRMT, black ink of Harry’s fountain pen. Within the following pages of The Unmasking of Robert-Houdin, Houdini systematically dissects his mentor exposing him as the fraud and charlatan he believed him to be. One of history’s most interesting figures reveals himself to also be one of its most unforgiving. Copyrighted in 1908 and issued by The Publishing Printing Co. of New York, this 6”x8.25” offering is in EX condition with pages of EX-MT quality.
