The Metamorphosis

ebook
In May of 1896, a young magician from New York City joined the cast of the Marco Magic Company and embarked on a summer-long tour of eastern Canada, including New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. It was during this excursion that Harry Houdini first showcased the talent that transformed him from a small-time conjurer, who performed for pennies in dime museums, into the world's most celebrated escape artist. In this absorbing book, enriched by rare, period photographs, Bruce MacNab recounts a fascinating but shockingly untold chapter in the career of the man whose name is still synonymous with the word magic. Bruce MacNab has worked as an author, carpenter, craftsman, tutor, and teacher and has long been fascinated by Houdini. Harry Houdini, Maritime History, Celebrity Biography, Canadian Author
