Houdini's Big Little Book of Magic - 145 Magic Tricks by Houdini & other Magicians
1927 (Original copyright retained by publisher Whitman)
295 Pages
One of the palm-sized books made by the Whitman Publishing Co.
Following Houdini's untimely death in 1926, his wife, Bess, in 1927, found this manuscript amongst his papers and published “Houdini’s Book of Magic and Party Pastimes”. The Whitman company obtained rights to the manuscript with plans to publish it as a Big Little Book – its series of compact 3 5/8″ x 4 ½” books that sold for 10 cents. There was not enough material available, so the company filled out the pages with the works of other magicians. More than 100 pages from the book, which was published in 1933, are from Houdini. Whitman also retained the 1927 copyright date.
