Was Houdini lucky, or just skillful with tools and manipulation of others? :)

Ficly sounds like it’s a pasta.

Houdini sounds like linguine.

It all sounds like it tastes good.

I can’t find anything else to say but yum.

Interesting insight into the mind of the illusionist: a slightly pathological way of thinking. I really like the personification of objects (paragraph 2, in particular, is great) and the doubt that permeates the piece.

As for 32’s comment – I can only applaud, and agree.

Wow. Nice look into Harry’s mind. As a spectator, I often wonder what goes through someone’s mind at a time like that. Are they thinking of the next step, delaying for effect, or wondering what everyone else is thinking?

I agree with JonB about how you personified the tools, though I liked the thought he had to the cuffs more.
