Prince Phillip is no ordinary boy. He is heir to the throne of Vallaire; awaiting only his coming of age to begin ruling on his own. When a map detailing the whereabouts of the long lost, all powerful magic stone is found, the young prince is sent on an extraordinary quest to prove his manhood and protect his kingdom from the evil designs of his stepmother, Queen Camilla. On his journey, he meets four magical creatures to help guide him through the Black Forest and protect him from its mutant inhabitants and the Deadly Trees which come to life at the touch of another living creature. They must cross the Cursed Seas and face the Sea Dragon and escape the clutches of the guardian of the stone; all before Camilla can reach the stone ahead of him. It is a race to secure his future and gain ultimate power through possession of the Magic Stone.

An exploration of the world of magic that teaches the reader many tricks--including how better to understand the real world. Alex Stone--journalist and part-time conjurer--is here to amaze you. But first he had to amaze his fellow magicians. Fooling Houdini is his fascinating, revealing, and nailbiting account of his attempt to win the 23rd World Championships of Magic, the "Magic Olympics," the largest and most prestigious competition of its kind. Alex Stone managed to qualify for entry and began preparing to astonish people who astonish others for a living. It didn't help his nerves that he was placed on the bill straight after Canadian magician Shawn Farquhar, winner of more magic competitions than anyone in history. Stone's preparations and participation provide his readers with in-depth exploration of the world of magic, and magic's meaning. He spills many professional secrets, arguing that what is important is to ask questions about what lies behind the tricks: how the mind perceives the world and parses everyday experience, about how the mind works--and why sometimes it doesn't, about why people need to believe. As we become more attuned to the limits of our own perception, we become better at distinguishing reality from illusion, at reading the angles and decoding the fine print, he says. We gain intuition and understanding into how people behave. We even learn ways to influence this behavior. This makes us less susceptible to all manner of deception. It is to gain and maintain this sixth sense that Alex Stone--a schoolboy prestidigitator--has continued performing magic well into adulthood. In Fooling Houdini he takes us into that other world, populated by truly astounding characters, and leaves us with a heightened sense of awareness about the supposedly real world.
