A steamer trunk, a mysterious book, and a hat belonging to Harry Houdini begin a show filled with magic, juggling, unicycling and a physical comedy. The audience must solve clues, overcome obstacles, and figure out a 90-year-old secret, as a help to create the story from beginning to end. Based on a real character, the kids are empowered to write about people and events in their own lives, while discovering how authors develop story ideas.
