Houdini was one of the world's best magicians. He created lots of new tricks and illusions.
Houdini was born on Hungary in late 1800's. He got the last name Houdini because there was a magician before him named Houdin. He put an I after that and in french it would mean "like Hounin".
His dad was well educated but had little money so Harry ran away from home so his parents didn't have to use money on him.
He lived winning money in little jobs until he decided to study magic. He became famous when he hung upside down from a building with a strength jacket on. He got free and after that lots of people knew him. He then started to get free from handcuffs and locks and chains. He then became really famous.
After some time he lost popularity and had to create new tricks.After some time he even got to do some movies.
A connetion I had with this book were that i've seen movies where a little kid escapes home and works on little jobs so he can live on his own winning his own money.
Some great tricks he did where to disappear an elephant out of mid air, and to cross a solid brick wall.
A new title for the book would be The Greatest Magician ever.
Good plot summary. You are missing the theme or main idea with supporting evidence. I'd like more description in the future.Also, tell me why you chose your new title.
