Download or read book The Magician s Secret written by Zachary Hyman and published by Tundra Books. This book was released on 2018-04-03 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This action-adventure picture book featuring a grandfather and grandson duo celebrates the power of imagination and the magic of make believe. Charlie loves when Grandpa comes to babysit because he always brings his magical imagination. Grandpa was a magician who knows the most amazing tricks; he can pull a rabbit from a hat and make a coin disappear. But what Charlie loves most are his wonderful adventure stories, and they all begin with something his grandfather has saved in his Magic Story Chest. An hourglass is a reminder of how he defended the treasure in King Tut's tomb from raiders. A long white scarf inspires the story about Grandpa's dogfight with the notorious Red Baron, the great First World War fighter pilot. A coconut shell heralds the story about his encounter with a nasty Tyrannosaurus Rex. Charlie's parents, though, aren't too sure they like Grandpa's stories and warn Charlie that they're just "tall tales." What is Charlie to believe? How can his grandpa convince him that all you need to do is believe and a dream can be turned into something real?

Download or read book Abracadabra written by Nathaniel Schiffman and published by Prometheus Books. This book was released on 2009-09-25 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Magicians use more than just mirrors, string, and sleight of hand to deceive their audience. Those who are masters at this trade have developed an arsenal of techniques to manipulate people. Every action and utterance on stage and off is precisely planned to achieve a specific effect. Abracadabra! is an insider's look at what goes on at a magic show, behind-the-scenes, and in the mind of the magician. Nathaniel Schiffman explains the principles of deception, exposing those innocent-seeming motions that conceal vital actions from onlookers; how the conjurer uses misdirection of space and time to mislead the audience; how silly and simple optical illusions can fool us, and what to look for during a magic show. Also explored in detail is the world of off-stage magic. Some "magicians" use various techniques in life to deceive and influence you, yet these magicians don't boast of their magic talent, because they are advertisers, politicians, army commanders, spies, con artists, computer programmers, movie directors, faith healers, psychics, and others. These "magicians" work to make you buy their product, believe in their cause, and influence your thinking from the time you get up in the morning, until you go to bed at night. This is not a "how to" book for aspiring magicians, but a layperson's guide to methods used to mislead or fool you. Lighthearted and informal, Abracadabra! will fascinate anyone interested in knowing how one person can control many. Included are hands-on experiments, magic tricks, and reader participation segments. You'll soon see that magicians don't just manipulate playing cards and animals; they manipulate you.

While still suffering from temporary loss of memory, Devo meets a young girl sitting on a bench in a cemetery. Devo helps the girl recover from the calamities that have occurred to her, and she, in turn, helps Devo regain his memory. A gift of a golden necklace and a diary from the girl starts Devo Mannix on a quest to solve a 120-year-old Civil War mystery in an attempt to clear her family name. Upon returning home, Devo finds he has inherited a 1,016-pound antique magical steamer trunk without the key to open it. In a search to find the key, Devo; his talking dog, Speeler; and his friend Julie are held captive by an unscrupulous ex-convict. Speeler, the talking dog, comes up with a plan for escape that sends their captive to the hospital, seeking medical attention. Eventually, the plan backfires, resulting in Devo being thrown into the magical streamer trunk and held prisoner. Devos eventual escape from the trunk solves one of the mysteries of the trunk concerning its contents and the original owner.
