Evan Jones

A mini-series that tracks the ascent of master magician Harry Houdini from desperate poverty to worldwide fame.

It's based on the William Kalush and Larry Sloman book The Secret Life of "Houdini", The Making of America's First Superhero. The tale paints Houdini as more than a master illusionist: He was a spy and a true renaissance man across the globe.

An author returns to his hometown to face the people whom he based his book on.
