He practiced day and night, thinking up new tricks and more and more dangerous stunts. His intense ambition paid off, and soon Harry Houdini became known worldwide! This kid-appealing Step 3 traces Houdini''s life from his poor beginnings to his eventual success as the most famous mystical magician and escape artist of all time.
