Houdini Returns! New Book On Thinking Out of The Box
Imagine if you could get a personal masterclass from
the world’s greatest escape artist and illusionist…
What would you ask Houdini to help you with in your own
life? What limitations could you give the slip? What
challenges could you take on and succeed in?
These thoughts and others were what led acclaimed coach
and Norwich-born author, Tim Kenning to tap into Houdini’s
genius and write his book, "The Houdini Principle".
Tim says, "There are loads of biographical books about
Houdini, his exploits, his life and his tricks. I had no
intention of simply adding another. This book, looks at
Houdini from a unique angle which enables the reader to
use Houdini as a role model and direct resource for
greater creativity and confidence while taking on their
daily challenges. My goal isn’t to create a whole army
of people able to do Houdini’s tricks but more to enable
anyone to apply Houdini’s genius in new and practical ways."
Tim’s book, "The Houdini Principle" is the culmination of
a childhood fascination and many years researching how to
model high achievers in a way that enables others to get
the same results.
Tims says, "October 31st 2006 is the eightieth anniversary
of Houdini’s death and Harry said that if anyone could return
he would. Well in this book, Harry Houdini will return to
inspire you, the reader, to get more from your life and overcome
those challenges that are currently holding you prisoner."
"The Houdini Principle" by Tim Kenning will be launched
on the 80th Anniversary of Houdini’s death this Halloween,
31st October at Amazon and all good bookshops.

"Escape From City Hall"
———————————& #8212;————
It may have taken him over ten years, but Tim Kenning
finally managed to wriggle free from the red tape of local
government.
After 13 years working for the Planning Department of
Norwich City Council, Tim decided that it was time to break
out and do something new. His new venture involves him
presenting and teaching workshops on problem solving,
creativity and taking on a challenge that he calls ‘The
Houdini Principle™’.
Tim’s workshops use the exploits and escapes of Harry
Houdini as a basis for thinking ‘out of the box.’ Tim points
out, "it is not about being another Houdini, but you might
learn few secrets in the process. I wanted to create a
unique and fun approach to problem solving," he says.
Tim has presented The Houdini Principle™ to
business groups
and to The Magic Circle in London.
Tim became intrigued by escapology and Harry Houdini after
watching a stage show while on a family holiday when he was
seven. "I saw two escape artists do the impossible." he
recalls, "I knew that you couldn’t do that. Yet there it was
right in front of me."
He visited the Houdini Museum in Appleton, Wisconsin in 2003
and attended the First Annual Escape Artist Convention in
Indianapolis. Now he has put all his research and knowledge
together and presents ‘The Houdini Principle™’ to companies
and conferences to get people thinking creatively. "It’s
about what we can learn from how Houdini was able to create,
innovate and take on a challenge."
When he looks at City Hall now, Tim says, "I never thought I
would get out," but he took on the challenge to do something
different. "My only concern," he adds, "Is that there are
still some people trapped inside."
