My book is a biography about Harry Houdini. He was a famous magician. The book begins in Appleton, New York where he grew up. A boy named Enrich Weiss (Harry Houdini) was watching a magician's act. The magician did a trick with a bucket and coins. Enrich asked him how he did it, and the magician showed him. That day, Enrich learned what an illusion was. Suddenly his father came and took Enrich home. His father asked where he got the dime to get into the show. Enrich said he didn't pay, he just crawled under the ropes. So Enrich had to go and pay the man back. From this, he learned discipline and honesty from his father.
As Enrich got older, he did a lot of magic shows. He had 3 goals: (1) to amaze the crowds, (2) to take care of his mother, and (3) to get into the big acts. This is how Enrich Weiss achieved his goals. He amazed the crowds by escaping from handcuffs and escaping from ropes that his brother, Dash, tied around him.
Enrich promised his father that he would take care of his mother when his father died. And he did. But, his main goal was go get into the big shows. Enrich Weiss got into every show that passed through Appleton. He eventually did shows in other states like Florida, Georgia, California, etc. There was a famous magician in Europe named Houdini who was very good at it.
So, Enrich decided that his show name would be Harry Houdini. Enrich was married to a woman named Bess. She died suddenly of a illness. After she died, he worked harder than ever before. One day while he was studying magic in Milwaukee, he got a telephone call to perform in the big shows.
