#19. I’m a big fan of magic! It’s an inarguable explanation for anything. What makes my computer work? Magic! How did she know to call? Magic! Where did that cookie go? Magic! I could have gotten a liberal arts degree at Hogwarts. I’m completely satisfied

Chicago Children’s Theatre presents the world premiere of The Houdini Box. Victor loves magic! He idolizes Harry Houdini. He wants to be a great magician. He’s obsessed with tricks. His mother wants to break the spell. She decides to take him on a road trip. In the train station, he meets a mysterious man. Is it Harry Houdini? Or is it another illusion? Victor leans towards amazement. What makes The Houdini Box marvelous? Magic!
