Fooling Houdini
By:Alex Stone
Published on 2012-06-19 by Harper Collins
From the back rooms of New York City’s age-old magic societies to cutting-edge psychology labs, three-card monte games on Canal Street to glossy Las Vegas casinos, Fooling Houdini recounts Alex Stone’s quest to join the ranks of master magicians. As he navigates this quirky and occasionally hilarious subculture populated by brilliant eccentrics, Stone pulls back the curtain on a community shrouded in secrecy, fueled by obsession and brilliance, and organized around one overriding need: to prove one’s worth by deceiving others. But his journey is more than a tale of tricks, gigs, and geeks. By investing some of the lesser-known corners of psychology, neuroscience, physics, history, and even crime, all through the lens of trickery and illusion, Fooling Houdini arrives at a host of startling revelations about how the mind works--and why, sometimes, it doesn’t.

Colm Tóibíd, that award-winning writer of Any Professionaland Brooklyn, becomes an individual's interest for the problematic human relationships between daddies and even sons—expressly this trepidation between your fictional the behemoths Oscar Wilde, James Joyce, W.B. Yeats, along with its fathers. Wilde loathed this daddy, despite the fact well known them to be substantially alike. Joyce's gregarious father driven your partner's boy via Ireland in europe by reason of an individual's volatile disposition together with drinking. Even while Yeats's biological dad, a good electrician, seemed to be apparently an ideal conversationalist whose yakety-yak was in fact alot more shiny versus works the guy produced. A majority of these popular men of all ages and also dads whom made it simpler for good condition these occur living inside Tóibín's retelling, just like Dublin's colored inhabitants.
