- Book pick: 'Fooling Houdini' (program audio)
Kerri's book Pick of the Week is 'Fooling Houdini: Magicians, Mentalists, Math Geeks & the Hidden Power of the Mind' by Alex Stone.
Publisher's Weekly says, "Stone argues that stage magic 'lets us suspend adulthood and retrieve... the childlike sense of astonishment that fades as we age.' Having taken 'an almost perverse joy in stupefying [the] illustrious faculty' at Columbia, where he received a master's in physics, Stone began to discover 'connections between magic and science,' and this book explores those linkages in depth."
