Let HOUDINI rest-in-peace, or risk the wrath of Houdini's spirit, says novelist Adam Steinfeld, co-author of HOUDINI LIVES!

"I don't think they should exume Houdini's body, what kind of nonsense is this? " Refering to recent news reports of digging up Houdini's grave at Machpehla Cemetary. Steinfeld added, "Houdini is considered by some cultures to be god-like, you never know what the wrath of Houdini's spirit might bring. Leave the body alone, let him rest-in-peace." Houdini Lives! a novel details a life forty years after Houdini's death, it's a tall tale of fun, murder, mystery, romance, and political drama with the world famous Houdini as the central character, joined by the upcoming young magician Stanford, who is determined to be rich and famous, the lovely Solea, the magician's assistant. This story is mixed with a few historical characters of that time period from Jackie Gleason, Frank Sinatra, to a young Larry King who opens the story with an radio interview from a Wolfies deli.

And, what if the coffin is empty and Houdini didn't die back in 1926? What if indeed.

Adam Steinfeld, magician-writer is the co-author of HOUDINI LIVES! a novel, a supernatural thriller, who along with New England writer, Al Blanchard (the Steve Asher Mystery Series, Tales of Love & Murder) create a world in which Houdini did not die, but faked his death and is hiding out from his politcal enemies trying kill him, their novel of fiction lately, seems to be turning into fact . First drafted in 2004, and finalized in 2006.

It's 1966 and world famous escape artist did not die as many people thought, but is planning a dramatic comeback on a Jackie Gleason halloween television special.

What has Houdini been doing all these years, will the greatest magician who ever lived ever return to the stage? Will this be his final illusion? Ladies and gentlemen prepare for a tall tale of murder, mystery, romance, and political drama. Houdini Lives! or dies is only a matter of time.

This will make one heck of a movie, say's Steinfeld, "I wrote the part of Solea the sultry magicians assistant with Jennifer Lopez or Shakira in mind, and the magician Stanford the young, hip, up-and-coming magician might be perfect for Adam Sandler now that he's taking on more serious roles. And the elder Houdini, for Tony Curtis to reprise his part from the 1953 classic.

What is Houdini's secret identity ? Well, Steinfeld isn't about to ruin the ending. But, he says,"I'll give you a hint .... it's the kinda of profession his father would have been proud of, you'll just have to buy the book to find out. "

Sid Radner, the foremost authority on Houdini, Hardeens protege, says about the novel; "I enjoyed the book Houdini Lives! very much, it's excellent, reading with an interesting twist, it should be a best seller."

Co-author / magician Steinfeld also performs Houdini stunts from escaping from 100 gallons of locks and chains of freezing cold water to the world's fastest illusion he calls Butterfly, during his long running world grand illusions magic touring show Adam Steinfeld MAGIC LIVE! plays around the world from Hong Kong, Aruba, Nashville to Miami.(www.MagicLive.com)
