Description
Three-Year Subscription + Harry Houdini’s Unpublished Manuscript
Three Years of Great Mystery Writing—Plus a Once-in-a-Century Houdini Discovery!
For devoted readers of mystery fiction and collectors of extraordinary literary discoveries, a three-year subscription to The Strand Magazine offers years of compelling storytelling, exclusive author interviews, and fascinating glimpses into literary history.
And this subscription includes something particularly special: a previously unpublished manuscript by Harry Houdini, presented in full for the first time, exactly 100 years after his death.
Entitled “An Interesting Scrapbook,” the work was preserved among Houdini’s papers at the Harry Ransom Center at the University of Texas at Austin.
Long celebrated as the world’s greatest escape artist, Houdini was also a gifted writer, researcher, and historian of magic. In this little-known work, he chronicles the fascinating performers and forgotten magicians who helped transform magic into an internationally celebrated art.
Yet one mystery endures: Why did Houdini never publish the manuscript?
Was it an unfinished publishing project? Or did the famously secretive magician fear that revealing too much about his predecessors might benefit competing performers?
The Strand Magazine marks the centennial of Houdini’s death by bringing this remarkable work to a new generation of readers.
