HANDCUFF KING Premium Edition details

Today, I'm excited to share the first image and details about the PREMIUM EDITION of Handcuff King: The Conquests of Harry Houdini, 1900–1909.


The Premium Edition will be the regular hardcover housed in a bonded leather slipcase with gold foil stamping on each side and spine. As you can see above, it's a beauty. But it gets better. The books will be signed and numbered on an exclusive presentation page by me and DAVID COPPERFIELD.

David and his International Museum and Library of the Conjuring Arts played a significant role in the creation of The Ultimate Houdini Chronology (as you will read in his foreword), so having his signature is a perfect way to make the Premium Edition premium.

The Premium Edition will be limited to 250 copies and will ship inside a custom mailing carton. The stock will be split between Mike Caveney's Magic Words and my own store, Wild About Harry Press. I will be making 100 copies available for preorder starting November 16. (Members of my Patreon can preorder starting November 14.)

Unlike the Escaping Obscurity Collector's Edition, which sold out in 48 hours, I'm confident that everyone who wants a Premium Edition will get one, as long as you don't wait too long. There will be a limit of two books per customer during the first month of release, at least on my site.

Product pages showing details and prices for both the Regular Hardcover and Premium Edition are live at Wild About Harry Press. Have a look, and feel free to sign up to be notified when preorders begin. I can't wait to get this book into your hands!
