Quinn's illusions are as good as those in any Vegas act--but can he
win a spot at a prestigious magic camp despite an upstaging partner, a
cute rival, and a con-artist mentor?
Fifteen-year-old Quinn Purcell wants only one thing: to win a coveted
spot at the Masters of Magic Fantasy Camp. But the competition is stiff,
including Dani Darling, an incredibly talented, and incredibly
attractive, rival magician who prestidigitates her way into Quinn's
heart--unless that's just another of her tricks. To make matters worse,
Quinn and his best friend, Perry, have always performed their magic as a
team, but the judges want solo acts, and a two-man audition might
disqualify them. When Quinn meets his idol, the Dazzling Lazlo, at a
diner, it seems like a sign. If he can convince Lazlo to spill the
secrets to his greatest trick, then the spot at the camp is all but
Quinn's. But is the washed-up magician just using Quinn to run a few
scams? When the chips are down, what will Quinn risk--his best friend,
his new crush, or his career as a magician? Hilarious and fast-paced,
Don Calame's latest novel is full of complicated magic tricks and
equally complicated friendships.
