Smoke and Mirrors was the fifth release of the Destiny of the Doctor audio series, produced by Big Finish Productions for AudioGO.
Publisher's summary
The Doctor answers a psionic distress call being 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 come Harry knows so much about Tegan herself? Is it really just guesswork, as he says? Is Harry 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 they know of old.
What neither the Doctor nor his friends realise is that, somewhere in the shadows, a far more sinister and familiar presence is lying in wait for them…

Notes
- Excluding his brief off screen appearance in Circular Time: Winter, this is the first audio drama in which the Master (Anthony Ainley version) appears in the Fifth Doctor era.
Continuity
- The Doctor also encountered Houdini in his first (PROSE: Houdini and The Space Cuckoos), eighth (PROSE: The Great Escapes) and eleventh (PROSE: Houdini and The Space Cuckoos) incarnations. From Houdini's point of view, the latter was the first encounter with the Doctor.
- The Doctor has recently lost his Sonic screwdriver. (TV: The Visitation)
- Tegan mentions knowing what it's like to be under someone else's control. (TV: Kinda)
- Like in AUDIO: Shadow of Death, AUDIO: Vengeance of the Stones, and AUDIO: Babblesphere, the Eleventh Doctor makes a surprise appearance. This time, he contacts the Fifth Doctor through the Ovid sphere.
- Houdini asks how Mrs. Grant is doing.
