Summary

"The American people want to be humbugged" quotes Harry Houdini from another famous showman, P.T. Barnum.

In his book, published in 1906, Harry Houdini informs and amuses his audiences with stories and interviews "exposing" the life of criminals. Always the showman, his intentions are to amuse, while safeguarding the public and possibly deterring those who may be tempted into a life of crime.

Which of these stories are fact or fiction? Even his own autobiographical snippets contain falsehoods. Enjoy learning about the early versions of spam mail, while speculating which other historical criminal techniques are real, as Houdini reveals The Right Way To Do Wrong.
