AND THE BEAT GOES ON...
Author Talk: Houdini's Last Handcuffs In-Person
Talks are scheduled through January 2026. This may be the last until fall when we'll start again with talks in Virginia, South Carolina and Florida. Some where there are 100's attending....
So this is a chance for a more intimate evening.
Authors Charlie and Cheryl Young will be at the Killingworth Library, Killingworth, CT to discuss their novel, Houdini's Last Handcuffs, as well as their family's legacy of research on Houdini and stage magic. Please register to save your seat! More about the book:
Houdini's Last Handcuffs weaves a mesmerizing blend of historical fiction and fantasy in 1950s Manhattan. On the 30th anniversary of Houdini's death, three young friends, gifted a mystical Ouija Board by the enigmatic writer Walter Gibson, find themselves thrust into a world of wonder.
While the adults attempt to reach Houdini in a Séance at his former residence, the children unknowingly call upon the great magician, not through the Ouija board or séance but via an enigmatic pair of handcuffs from their father's magic collection.
Houdini, in dire need of their aid, reveals a hidden notebook filled with scientific formulas coveted by both benevolent and malevolent secret circles. This notebook is a puzzle, locked behind Houdini's cryptic code.
