Originally published in 1961, Houdini’s Fabulous Magic was written by Walter B. Gibson and Morris Young, both of which knew and worked with the said most famous magician of all time. The two authors were able to write the revolutionary book because they not only had had access to Houdini himself but his personal notes and the assistance of friends and family of the performer. The book fell out of print for many years but has finally been reprinted by Vine Leaves Press. Morris Young’s son Charlie Young comes Back By The Woodpile to talk about the contents and history of the book and his own personal memories of growing in a setting where magic and wonder was appreciated and embraced.
