Synopsis
Ever since the author Paul Kieve was given a magic set at the age of ten, he has been buying magic books, props and posters and honing his skills as a magician. He keeps all his magical paraphenalia in his house in Hackney, right around the corner from the magnificent Hackney Empire, a venue played at by all the great illusionists of the golden era of magic, some hundred years ago. One day, as Paul is on the phone to his friend, sitting in his 'Poster Room', chatting to a friend about how well his magic show went from the night before, he gets a strange sensation ...Suddenly, the huge figure of Alexander steps out of the poster and starts telling Paul off for getting too big-headed! Alexander and the other brilliant magicians in the posters are going to show Paul what magic is really about!

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. First pb edition. Signed by the author on the title page "For Izzy Magician you, Paul Kieve" A ticket for the author's show at the 2010 Hay Festival is laid in. Pretty much an unread clean copy although the top of the front cover looks as though it has been slightly shaved at the very edge, perhaps by a child's scissors or, maybe, by magic!
