A century ago, the feats of the magician Harry Houdini thrilled audiences in Europe and America.
We now remember him for his daring escapes from strait -jackets, chains and locked chests. His
astonishing illusions of stage magic are all but extinct in the West, but are alive and thriving in the
East. The reason is simple., Houdini's kind of magic relied or potent chemicals, which were easy to
get in Victorian times. Today, however, the people in the West are more safely conscious, and there
is little hope ,of finding the highly toxic ingredients necessary for Houdini's spells. But if you visit
any Indian bazaar, even in the smallest towns, you can buy anything from phosphorus to nitric acid at
bargain prices.
