The Right Way To Do Wrong: An Expose Of Successful Criminals, written by the renowned magician and escape artist Harry Houdini, was first published in 1906. The book is a fascinating account of the methods and techniques used by some of the most successful criminals of the time, and it provides a unique insight into the criminal mind.Throughout the book, Houdini shares his extensive knowledge of the criminal underworld, having spent much of his career studying and exposing the tricks and techniques used by pickpockets, burglars, and other criminals. He covers a wide range of topics, from the art of lock picking to the secrets of safe cracking, and provides detailed descriptions of the various tools and methods used by criminals to carry out their illegal activities.In addition to the practical information provided in the book, Houdini also offers his own opinions on the causes of criminal behavior and the best ways to prevent it. He argues that education and social reform are the most effective ways to combat crime, and he speaks out against the harsh punishments and brutal treatment of prisoners that were common in his time.Overall, The Right Way To Do Wrong is a fascinating and informative read that offers a unique perspective on the world of crime and the criminal mind. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of crime and law enforcement, as well as those interested in the life and work of one of the most famous magicians and escape artists of all time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
