About This Book

A resourceful orphan boy, raised amid circus life and the legacy of a magician father and a daring rider mother, combines athletic daring and quick wits to confront puzzles of stagecraft. Surrounded by his schoolboy friends, he witnesses a baffling performance, investigates apparent miracles, and sets out to reproduce and explain illusions. The book delivers a sequence of episodic adventures that mix acrobatic feats, narrow escapes, and practical sleuthing, both dramatizing risky physical exploits and revealing the methods behind popular magic tricks.
