The Bottle Conjuror
John Kachuba & Jack Gagliardo
Desiring to become famous by performing a death-defying feat, a crippled conjuror falls prey to a scoundrel’s plot against the son of King George II.
The actual story took place in London in 1749. Advertisements were placed throughout London describing impossible feats of conjuring to be performed at the renowned Haymarket Theatre. A conjuror, with the aid of his beautiful assistant, disappearing inside a common wine bottle? Preposterous! But, as Stefan, the Romani conjuror knows, the borderline between good and evil magic is as fine as a spider's web. Anything can happen.
Filled with adventure, humor, romance, and magic, The Bottle Conjuror, Book One: Stefan is an historical romp—the first book in The Bottle Conjuror trilogy, which concludes in America during the Revolution.
