Houdini on Magic, edited by Walter Gibson and Morris Young, is a prized possession.

Having spent several evenings with both these gentlemen, getting some real firsthand insights into Harry Houdini.

Walter wrote publicity articles for him. Walter, both a magician and a well-known author of several books on many subjects, shared a wealth of history about Houdini and the world of magic.

Walter Gibson is also well known for creating “The Shadow” series in comics, radio, and movies under the name Maxwell Grant. What I am proud of is this autographed copy of Houdini on Magic.
