Advance Praise for Houdini’s Last Handcuffs
By Charles and Cheryl Young
Houdini’s Last Handcuffs is that rare book one will be lucky to find where the reader can look back at a beloved performer, enjoy some childhood memories and nostalgia, join the characters on a journey leading to an unexpected battle and look a bit more deeply into one’s own inquisitiveness about the afterlife, spirituality and the mind’s power.

Brother and sister duo Charles and Cheryl Young have quite successfully created a mesmerizing novel that is at once a masterful blend of history, science, magic, philosophy, cryptography, and investigative mind stretching.

A delightful piece of historical fiction, Houdini’s Last Handcuffs brings the magician to life as a group of kids seek to protect Houdini’s journal, in which the secrets of his magic are kept. Inspired by real-life people, places, and objects, Charles and Cheryl Young take the reader on an adventure through this magical world.
