The Amazing Arden is the most notorious female illusionist of her day, renowned for sawing a man in half. One night, with policeman Virgil Holt in the audience, she swaps her saw for a fire ax. A new trick or an all-too-real murder? When a dead body is discovered, the answer seems clear. But under Holt's interrogation, what Arden's story reveals is both unbelievable and spellbinding. Even handcuffed and alone, she is far from powerless. Over the course of one eerie night, the magician must pull off one final act--this time with her life at stake.

In this funny, irreverent, unique, eccentric memoir, magician Steve Spill reveals how he managed to survive decades inside a rarely profitable, sometimes maddening, but often deliciously rewarding offbeat showbiz profession—magic! Spill tells of how his tailor grandfather sewed secret pockets in a magician’s tuxedo back in 1910, which started his childhood dream to become a magician. This dream took Spill on a journey that started with him performing, as a young boy, at a “Beauty on a Budget” neighborhood house party to engagements in Europe, Africa, and the Caribbean, to today in Santa Monica, California, where he’s been starring in his own shows since 1998 at Magicopolis, the theater he designed and built himself. Being a magician has given Spill the opportunity to interact with the world’s most famous and fascinating people. In his memoir, Spill reveals the many unique encounters that his profession has led him to enjoy and endure: hosting Sting as his opening act one night, spending two days on camera with Joan Rivers, and selling tricks to Bob Dylan, as well as encounters with Adam Sandler, Stephen King, and other celebrities. I Lie for Moneyis a literary magic show that captures the highs and lows of an extraordinary life that will delight and amaze you with wit and wickedness. This book should be an obligatory read for anyone considering a creative career, and it serves as an inspiration to those who desire to craft an independent life.

If you have not yet bought the original copy, make sure to purchase it before buying this unofficial summary from aBookaDay. SUMMARY/ANALYSIS INTRODUCTION Come one, come all to read the tale of the Amazing Arden, famous female illusionist renowned across America for her daring new trick: sawing a man in half onstage. But, after her legendary performance in Waterloo, Iowa, the Amazing Arden's husband is found murdered by the same ax she used onstage - and Arden has disappeared. All suspicion is on her, and when Officer Virgil Holt, a young policeman desperate to prove himself, manages to capture her, he thinks all his problems might be solved. But Arden begs him to listen to her story, to let her prove her innocence. She begins to weave a fantastic tale, starting with her childhood and how she came to be one of the most popular magicians in the country. Despite his own agenda, Holt finds himself captivated by Arden's story - but is she simply creating the best illusion of her life? Readers will be just as captivated as Holt, as they struggle to decide whether or not the Amazing Arden can be trusted. On one hand, she is an intensely sympathetic character - a strong woman able to rise above trauma and the prejudices of her time to make waves in man's world. But on the other, she stands accused of a terrible crime, and is desperate for any way out. What is real, and what is merely smoke and mirrors? We all have to decide for ourselves.

Truth and lies are two sides of the same coin. But who's flipping it? A thought-provoking and brilliantly entertaining work of nonfiction from one of the world's leading deceivers, the creator and star of the astonishing theater show and forthcoming film In & Of Itself. Derek DelGaudio believed he was a decent, honest man. But when irrefutable evidence to the contrary is found in an old journal, his memories are reawakened and Derek is forced to confront--and try to understand--his role in a significant act of deception from his past. Using his youthful notebook entries as a road map, Derek embarks on a soulful, often funny, sometimes dark journey, retracing the path that led him to a world populated by charlatans, card cheats, and con artists. As stories are peeled away and artifices are revealed, Derek examines the mystery behind his father's vanishing act, the secret he inherited from his mother, the obsession he developed with sleight-of-hand that shaped his future, and the affinity he felt for the professional swindlers who taught him how to deceive others. And once he finds himself working as a crooked dealer in a big-money Hollywood card game, Derek begins to question his own sense of morality, and discovers that even a master of deception can find himself trapped inside an illusion. A M O R A L M A N is a wildly engaging exploration of the fictions we live as truths. It is ultimately a book about the lies we tell ourselves and the realities we manufacture in others.

Pull back the curtain on the real history of magic – and discover why magic really matters If you read a standard history of magic, you learn that it begins in ancient Egypt, with the resurrection of a goose in front of the Pharaoh. You discover how magicians were tortured and killed during the age of witchcraft. You are told how conjuring tricks were used to quell rebellious colonial natives. The history of magic is full of such stories, which turn out not to be true. Behind the smoke and mirrors, however, lies the real story of magic. It is a history of people from humble roots, who made and lost fortunes, and who deceived kings and queens. In order to survive, they concealed many secrets, yet they revealed some and they stole others. They engaged in deception, exposure, and betrayal, in a quest to make the impossible happen. They managed to survive in a world in which a series of technological wonders appeared, which previous generations would have considered magical. Even today, when we now take the most sophisticated technology for granted, we can still be astonished by tricks that were performed hundreds of years ago. The Secret History of Magic reveals how this was done. It is about why magic matters in a world that no longer seems to have a place for it, but which desperately needs a sense of wonder.

KAHNCEPTUAL CARD MAGIC: More Deceptive Practices With Playing Cards is a NEW 140 page photo-illustrated book featuring ten extraordinary card effects for magicians with intermediate to advanced card handling skills. All of the routines in this book are practical, real world performance pieces. Eighty-two photos accompany the text to highlight all of the intricate handling details. IN-THE-HANDS OPEN PREDICTION (IHOP) A two deck solution to Paul Curry''s classic Open Prediction Problem with an unexpected ending that the audience will never see coming. An inexplicable miracle! PREDICTED CARD AT THOUGHT OF NUMBER A fun and easy-to-do prediction. The magician is somehow able to foresee which playing card a spectator will shuffle to a secretly thought of number. NAME, RANK AND SERIAL NUMBER Eight random cards are removed from a deck. After a series of thorough shuffles by both the magician and the audience, the order of the cards miraculously matches the serial number on a bill that was laying on the table the entire time. YOU DID DO-IT-YOURSELF A classic of magic with a twist! A spectator locates his freely chosen card by stabbing an indifferent card into the deck while the cards are held behind his back. The selection then proves to be the only odd backed card in the entire deck. No forces! THE QUEEN''S LIE DETECTOR Martin Gardner''s classic Lie Speller plot revisited with a brilliant kicker prediction. Incorporates ideas of J.K. Hartman, Marty Kane and Jim Steinmeyer. THE JOKE''S ON YOU (REDUX) An extremely visual card transposition meets Brother John Hamman''s Mystery Card plot. TRIPLE WHAMMY In a uncanny display of skill, the magician instantly cuts to the mates of three free spectator selections in a truly shuffled deck. A TRIBUTE TO HENRY A.W. NOMIS The classic Stop Trick revisited. A spectator shuffles a red deck and a card of their choice is placed sight unseen into the card box. A blue deck is then introduced and a second spectator stops on a random card as they are turned face up. Both selections match! At no time does the performer look at the faces of the cards. (TO THE FOURTH POWER)4 As a deck is dealt face up, four mystery cards are left face down in the pack at the spectator''s direction. These four selections ultimately match the magician''s prediction. Is it a quadruple coincidence or is it fate? The climax will answer that question definitively. ZIPPED UP & LOCKED AWAY A card is freely selected, signed and lost in the deck. The cards are dribbled onto a sealed zipper-style storage bag where the signed selection defies the laws of physics ending up INSIDE the sealed bag. Solid through solid. This is the original! WHAT MAGICIANS ARE SAYING ABOUT KAHNCEPTUAL CARD MAGIC AND SCOTT KAHN: "Scott is one of my favorite session mates. As a result, I''ve been able to see these ideas develop and grow into their current form. They started off strong and kept getting better and better. This book is a treat for card workers looking for practical, powerful magic." - Caleb Wiles "Powerful, take no prisoners card magic. If this were 1692, Scott would surely be on trial for witchcraft." - Michael Kaminskas "Kahn''s approach to magic is similar to that of his medical career, prescribing solutions that breathe new life into classic card magic." - John Guastaferro "Your In-The-Hands Open Prediction is a wonderful way of turning the plot upside down. I was severely fooled! In fact, I wish I had seen all of the routines in this book first before reading them to experience being totally fooled!" - Tomas Blomberg "Scott Kahn is a must study for those into card magic. He tackles a wide range of plots with a unique approach." - Ryan Schlutz
