It looks like a book I have by Joseph Dunninger from the 1920s, but I cant check at the moment as its in a box in storage :/ I think the period I'm guessing at is right though, the illustrations are the same artist I'm pretty sure.

Another prop from the movie is Thomas Edison framed picture at the beginning of the movie.

The Oudini is the Great Houdini.
The 'Great Houdini' himself.

Thats a picture of Ouidini not 'Houdini' he was an Houdini impersonator who basically ripped Houdini off. This is Harry Houdini:

I saw again the movie and the heroes of Oz is Houdini and Edison.In the movie said that he want to become something between Houdini and Edison or the both.

So i believed that all figure and text must be from some book of Houdini.

 

[ath200]

I will search all Houdini books and i will tell you.

 

[ath200]

I found one part from the text.
The chinese rings.
These are rings of brass or steel,in diameter from five to nine inches, and in thickness varying from a quarter to three eights of an inch.The effect of the trick to the spectator is as follow:The rings are given for examination....

 

[ath200]

I am searching and the other text but i want to believe that this text must be from cyclopedia about Magic and not finali Houdini book as i thought.

 

[ath200]

Also we can easily understand this from the text first refers to The Hat and second to The chinese rings that mean that refers to all magic trick that starts with the letter T.

FYI Secrets of the Great Mysteries is available on archive.org. The illustrations in the original post are not apparently in there.
