MagicCon 3 | Vortrag | Sherlock Junior?

Let’s face it, Cumberbitches: Something happened! Sherlock and Irene Adler didn’t just hold hands, did they? What would happen if the famous detective from Baker Street were suddenly confronted with his (quite clever) offspring, describes Christian Humberg in the fantastic book series “Die unheimlichen Fälle des Lucius Adler” (Thienemann-Esslinger-Verlag). On MagicCon 7 he presents the amusing and exciting adventures in the context of the author’s reading under the motto Sherlock Junior? – fun not only for serial junkies.

Die unheimlichen Fälle des Lucius Adler (The eerie cases of Lucius Adler)

Lucius would never have guessed that shortly after his arrival in London he was embarking on the greatest adventure of his life. Fortunately, his new friends are all washed up: Theodosia possesses supernatural powers, Sebastian has already fought against lions and Harold, the young inventor, has built a vending machine man. Together they search for a mysterious crystal, stolen from the museum – and filled with dark magic!
