Throughout his life, Houdini performed first in carnival sideshows and then in vaudeville, where he would share the stage with all manner of entertainers, and later, in his thrilling show, where he became the greatest magician and escape artist of all time. A brilliant showman deeply interested in human psychology, his life and work reflect it and kept many interested in his magic acts.

This short story from Hans Christian Andersen is an interesting look at the challenges that come from getting what you want. In this delightful tale, a puppet master would do almost anything if his puppets became real and he could lead them in delighting audiences, but when he gets what he wants - he no longer wants it.
