Review by Dr Roger Woods: "Many books have been written about Harry Houdini so you might be forgiven that nothing new could be added to that vast library. You would be wrong. Bob Loomis has written a delightful book giving a detailed analysis of the occasion when Houdini created an impossible effect to mystify none other than Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. the creator of Sherlock Holmes. After many years of research and asking many penetrating questions Bob has created an account of how he believed Houdini carried out this seemingly amazing feat."
