Houdini's Box

'dangeroos' on page 488. that one made me laugh out loud.
on 492, Phillips talks about houdini parodying the Christian 'Do unto others' this is great! He says ' perform other people or they will perform you, prejudge you.'
boasting was a big part of his act. i gather that he wouldn't be as popular without him talking himself up. it reminds me of the celebrities of our time that are scandalous and get themselve in the papers and brings them more fame.
