About the Author

Harry Houdini (1874–1926) was born Erik Weisz in Budapest, Hungary. He was a magician, escapologist and performer of stunts, as well as a sceptic and investigator of spiritualists. He produced films, acted, and penned numerous books.
Derren Brown is one of Britain’s best-known performers, as much admired for his unique talents as vilified for his more controversial stunts.
