The Memoirs of Robert-Houdin by Jean Eugène Robert-Houdin was first published in English in 1859, translated to English from French by Lascelles Wraxall.

It was republished within the Essential Robert-Houdin by Todd Karr.

Houdini wrote an unflattering account of Robert-Houdin called The Unmasking of Robert-Houdin.
