Mr. Houdini's volume Miracle Mongers and Their Methods, is indubitably the most valuable treatise on the subject that has been issued by E. P. Dutton & Co. this season. It is a long and wordy betrayal of the secrets of the fire-eaters, the sword swallowers, the snake-biters, the three-legged boys, the glass-chewers, and other entertaining mountebanks who astound and fascinate such members of the human race as frequent the sideshows. -Percy Hammond, Chicago Tribune, February 5, 1921 After reading it anybody can do these little parlor tricks. However, that is not the question. The question is, how many will want to. As far as we are concerned, the fire eaters, resisters, poison eaters, etc., will always have their field to themselves. -Brooklyn Daily Eagle, February, 12, 1921
