LOS ÚLTIMOS AÑOS DE LA MAGIA
London, 1871. Young Aurelius feels as though he is languishing away at the family's tavern, living a life as grey as his father's. However, one morning he discovers his destiny: Houdini, the great magician, announces his arrival in London with an array of colourful posters. From that point on, Aurelius becomes obsessed with introducing himself to Houdini and becoming his apprentice. Thanks to his cunning he will have the opportunity to visit Houdini's dressing room, where he will discover his greatest secret: Houdini is a genuine magician, his power is not reliant on tricks. But this revelation comes with another: magic is dangerous and there are powers that want to put an end to it. Adventure and intrigue combine with fantasy to provide a reinterpretation of the legends that excite our imaginations. Real people such as Hans Christian Andersen and Nikola Tesla himself co-exist with our protagonists in a world where anything is possible.
