Magic

Harry Houdini is the greatest illusionist the world has ever known.

Arthur Conan Doyle is the creator of literature's most brilliant detective, Sherlock Holmes.

Their mutual admiration blossoms into a profound friendship, even as they discover a shared obsession with spiritualism.

Conan Doyle believes fervently in the psychic world and the promise of reunion with his dead son; Houdini is determined to demonstrate it's a cruel fraud.

Which of these sparring partners will be proved right: the genius writer of fiction or the infallible magician? Based on extraordinary historical events, Magic asks what we're prepared to believe, and why.
