"The Doctor answers a psionic distress call
sent from England in the 1920s. There, in the environs of a fairground, he is
reunited with an old friend: Harry Houdini. To Adric and Nyssa the name means
very little, but to the Doctor's companion Tegan he is a legend. Escape artist
extraordinaire, Houdini's reputation will last for decades. But how does Houdini
know so much about Tegan herself? Is it really just guesswork, as he says? Is
Houdini right to be concerned about the fairground's fortune teller, who claims
to have supernatural skills? Both he and the Doctor suspect an alien influence
may be at work.
What neither the Doctor nor his friends realise
is that, somewhere in the shadows, a sinister and all too familiar presence is
lying in wait for them..."
