Hardeen – Monarch of Manacles (Hardcover)

Hardeen – Monarch of Manacles (Hardcover)

Houdini may have been celebrated as the King of Handcuffs, but his brother Theodore Hardeen earned his own legendary title — the Monarch of Manacles. This fascinating volume chronicles the life and daring career of one of history’s greatest escape artists, whose name deserves a place alongside Houdini himself.

In Hardeen – Monarch of Manacles, you’ll follow Hardeen’s incredible adventures across the globe. From escaping handcuffs, leg irons, and maximum-security jail cells to surviving near-death stunts like breaking free from a water-filled milk can or an ironbound crate sinking into a river, Hardeen’s courage and ingenuity made him a legend in his own right.

Through vivid storytelling and historical accounts, this book offers readers a rare look into the trials, triumphs, and legacy of a man who lived — and nearly died — for his art. It’s a must-read for fans of magic history, escapology, and the golden age of performance.
