Hall of Fame Reviewer

The Literary Titan Book Awards are given to books and authors that have unique writing styles, vivid worlds, complex characters, and original ideas.

This is a literary gut punch. It is the great Houdini book the world has been waiting for. A perfect escape!
- John Kelly, Detroit Free Press

On Halloween, three children-a brother, sister, and their friend-receive a Ouija Board from a family friend. After a seance, the magician Houdini is brought back to life, but not by the seance itself. Houdini needs the children's help to retrieve his notebook of scientific formulas. However, the formula for his return is flawed. Houdini, the family, and many close friends are part of The Inner Circle, a clandestine group using science, math, and physics for mankind's good, as opposed to the Outer Circle, which uses them for evil. The notebook contains the formula that everyone wants. (Watch the book trailer here: https://bit.ly/Houdinis_Last_Handcuffs_Trailer)

Houdini's Last Handcuffs is that rare book where the reader can look back at a beloved performer, enjoy some childhood memories and nostalgia, join the characters on a journey leading to the unexpected.
- Chris Cordani, Host of Book Spectrum

In real life, Houdini's handcuffs were displayed as part of the Young's home magic library. These are the inspiration for a part of this tale. Morris Young, the father of Charlie and Cheryl, related that story in his April 1992 article for The Linking Ring titled The Last Handcuffs . The Young siblings draw from real-life people, places, and objects to shape the story, and their passion and enthusiasm pour from every page.

Brother and sister duo Charlie and Cheryl Young have created a mesmerizing novel with a masterful blend of history, science, magic, philosophy, cryptography,and investigative mind stretching.
- Grady Harp, Top 100 Amazon Hall of Fame Reviewer, 5-stars

Accompanied by detailed descriptions, lovable characters, and factual information about the actual Houdini, Houdini's Last Handcuffs will captivate any reader. Charlie says, "It is for those who have imagination or still have a part of who they were when they were children, for that is where this story begins."
