BRILLIANT! COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN! Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 May 2022 "I had the pleasure of meeting Shane a couple of weeks ago, such a lovely guy, and he signed a book for me, and also showed me a couple of tricks, which completely baffled me, and I've lost sleep over them. I've just finished the book, which was fantastic, and I've learnt some tricks myself now from the book, which I tried out on some friends the other day! Honestly I've been completely engrossed in the book for the past couple of weeks, and sort of sad that it's come to an end, might have to read it again! Thanks Shane! Life changing!" A MAGICAL BOOK IN EVERY SENSE OF THE WORD!" An original, inspiring, and gripping children's novel about a real-life Harry Potter, written by a real-life magician combined with a magic teaching book! The perfect Christmas gift for young budding magicians and anyone who loves adventure stories (including adults!)! Ingrid Fartz and her eleven-year-old son, Eric, fled their hometown of Sheffield to start a new life in Ramsgate, Kent, to escape from Eric's Father. Eric was a quiet and painfully shy boy lacking in confidence, who was bullied by two horrible boys at his new school. He didn't have any friends either and was feeling pretty low - until one day. A chance meeting with an old magician at a magic shop stall at the local Christmas Fair convinced him to take up magic, which changed his life! Throughout the story, Eric learns and performs amazing magic tricks, which are also taught at the back of the book! The story culminates in Eric entering 'St. Bartholomew's Got Talent', but will he get the chance to take part? This is an entertaining and thought-provoking story about Eric's struggle at 'Big School', filled with inspiration and advice, not only about performing magic but also on how to become more self-confident and a high achiever! Although it is a fictional story it could just as easily have been written about many young people in the real world today, struggling with confidence issues. Maybe that is you? If it is, then this book will definitely be very helpful to you as well as being an interesting and enjoyable read, plus you will learn some really cool magic tricks too! It is a modern-day fairytale about triumph over adversity, written by a professional magician with young people in mind! Three Books Combined Into One! An Entertaining and Thought-Provoking Novel, Filled With Inspiration! An Instructional Magic Book, Teaching Amazing Easy-to-do Magic Tricks! And a Motivational, Confidence Boosting Self-Help Book For Children!
Reviews"AMAZING! I love this book. it's a gripping storyline intertwined with easy to do magic tricks and step by step instructions on how to do each." Devi - aged ten. "INSPIRATIONAL BOOK! I bought two of these, one for my nephew (aged 10), who is reading it with his Dad. Also bought one for a family friend (aged 11). They all told me it's a great read and very inspirational...so much so, I've now ordered one for myself (and I'm in my 40's)." MJ. "BELIEVE IN YOURSELF! I liked the way the story encourages the reader to believe in themselves boy or girl. Overcome their fears and stand up for themselves. This book is written in a manner that has been well thought out. A story and a teaching book, great encouragement and learning a skill. A great confidence builder, and a crowd-pleaser. Well written, touching, and at times, humorous. Believe in the Magic!" Easy Reader. "GREAT BOOK FOR ALL AGES! Fantastic book, which would be great for children, but even as an adult had me gripped from start to finish. A good price considering the book contains a section which is a magic book (often this price in their own right), along with the novel and self-help sections. Alici fooks. "PERFECT FOR CHILDREN ELEVEN PLUS! A wonderful book to show children how to build their confidence and self-esteem, and to believe in themselves and triumph. A magic book in more ways than one!" Val Hampton. "GREAT STORYBOOK! Would recommend this exciting adventure story, magical storyline and works well with the illustrations." Louise Spencer.
