Review - Fooling Houdini

The book was interesting and, at times, fun. The author, on the other hand, came across as rather difficult to like — pushy, conceited and annoying. All the women he meets are attractive. All the people who like him are impressive while those who don't are jerks. His credibility suffered quite a bit when he dismissed Jesus as a magician and referred to the resurrection as "the final great illusion."
