Publisher's Synopsis
A professional magician finds a dangerous stage illusion in an old cabinet at an estate sale. He promised the widow from whom he'd purchased the contraption never to use the deadly prop. But when he goes back on his word, and decides to perform the illusion in public, death lurks at every corner and people's lives are changed. Who created this device of death? What was the purpose of such a dangerous illusion? Was it a mistake from the beginning or could the creator of the effect see into the future? Find out what really happened as you ride along with this tragically hilarious troupe of misfits who work with the device, and end up where you least expect them to be when it's all over.
