Son of Houdini Main Website

All the young men in 'The Pinch' are after MIRIAM ROSEN, the village beauty, but she only has eyes for the compelling Hyman, in part because in her he seems to be uninterested. Told through the eyes of  STUART, Miriam's shy, appealing younger brother, who is also Hymie’s incongruous best friend.

The ghost of Harry Houdini makes 5 significant appearances throughout SON OF HOUDINI.

SON OF HOUDINI is a movie about the search for identity; ambition and perseverance; overcoming one's fears, and finding the courage to love and be loved - with light-hearted profundity and comedic depth. A character-driven Coming-of-Age Romantic Comedy with universal themes, using the techniques of tomorrow.

SON OF HOUDINI is a film that demonstrates, with extreme sleight of hand, finding true love may be the greatest trick of all, and has its subliminal subtext: WE ARE ALL ONE. Screenplay (c) by Barbara Glasser. Registered Writers Guild of America East, based on "Hyman the Magnificient" from A PLAGUE OF DREAMERS (Scribner), with permission of the author Steve Stern.
