Two magic shows: the Maestros of Magic touring the country, playing provincial theatres; the Carnival of Conjurors successful in the West End. When the Maestros learn that the Conjurors are using real magic — Black Magic — to do their tricks they decide that they must use their own, distinctly unmagical, stage skills to stop them. Soon people are dying on stage — but can the Maestros really beat a team that has the devil on their side?
A darkly humorous thriller by a writer who knows the world of magicians and stage magic.
