Will Houdini Weenie be sawed in half or will manage to escape? . Houdini Weenie is performing one night only and each illusion is more dangerous than the last. He's joined by his assistant Lilly and together they will put on a show that will amaze even the most cynical. The art nouveau style harkens back to a time when the magician was king and everyone would come to the theater to see the show. This story is as much fun for the reader as it is for the audience. While written and designed to be read at storytimes, Houdini Weenie works for an audience of one just as well.
