About the book

Victor is forever trying to escape from locked trunks, walk through walls, and perform any number of Houdini's astonishing magic tricks...without success. Then -- amazingly -- he actually meets his idol, and begs Houdini to explain himself. A mysterious locked box is the magician's only answer, and Victor is left to wonder: Does the box contain the secrets to the most famous magic tricks ever performed?

    Wow, was surprised by the power of this book. I will admit I haven't read any of his others, which I'm guessing will be more satisfying judging by others reactions, but I am do glad I read this first. Of course the artwork is sublime, but the story, for me at least captured my imagination. I will say the ending had left me thinking, I'm not certain this is a bad thing or a very good thing. I think if I understood what the message here was trying to convey by ending it the way he did then I would appreciate it more, but I'm a little befuddled by it if I am to be honest. Someone needs too adapt this for the screen!
