The Great Maximilian is a young successful illusionist of vaudeville. People flock from all walks of life to witness his stage miracles. But there is more to Max than meets the eye.
Although a master of prestidigitation, he has been searching for the secrets beyond mere magic tricks and stagecraft. He seeks otherworldly powers, mysteries that can grant a higher wisdom and everlasting life to continue his work. Then he finds the grymoire, a book written by the mysterious Cagliostro, its pages imbued with the sorcerer's wisdom.
But Max is not the only one seduced by potential gifts. His jealous brother, a philanderer with huge gambling debts and expensive tastes, wants what the Great Secret can provide. Fame. Fortune. His greatest desires. And more.
And he will stop at nothing to get what he wants... even if it means murdering his own flesh and blood.
The Trick is a short supernatural thriller from the author of the Craig Ramsey psychic detective series that will spellbind you to the end.
