Houdini--the Key is the first book on Houdini's methods that has an index and copious notes.
I believe it will prove to be an indispensable book to magic historians. The 278 copies of this book are selling very fast, despite the fact that I have not sold more than one copy to anyone (because I wasn't trying to create a collectible, I was trying to create a textbook on Houdini's methods for the few who can really use it). I am still adding names to my list of buyers. Now that the book is at the printers, I have started to accept payment--$160 + 12 shipping (in the U.S.) until the books are in my hands, then, the price will jump to $195 + 12.
