The world of stage magic and illusion is an unholy combination of smoke, mirrors and deception - and that's just the shows! Behind the scenes, deception and intrigue happen behind every curtain and under every trapdoor imaginable so that even magicians can't trust their "brothers in magic" with their secrets.

The Trick is a tale of two brothers, both in blood and in the golden art of stage magic. Jealousy and blind ambition clash as Maximillian searches for The Trick of True Magic, and his brother Fanto would do anything to steal the Prize for himself. Set in Vaudeville's Golden Era, The Trick is a tale with a terribly true message that steps from the past into modern history and beyond.

"I really enjoyed this short story! It is well written and genuinely suspenseful. I found myself drawn, listening to the old magician spinning his tale. It's a good entree into this talented writer's work! I look forward to reading more!" - Mike Prince
