How do magicians cut a person in half - and then put them back together again? How can you read other people's minds? Is it magic - or is it for real? Then find out about one of the greatest magicians - ever. And find out what to do if a witch puts a curse on you. Get the facts.

Then read "The Disappearance", a scary story about being a magician's assistant. It might cost you your life! "Magic" is part of the "Trailblazers" series which now hosts 36 titles. From Ancient Mysteries and Body Art to Sharks and Great Gadgets - these are topics kids just love to read about! Each book kicks off with a fascinating fact finding section which is followed up by a beautifully illustrated story that appears on two parallel ability levels; one with simple texts for poor or reluctant readers; and, the facing pages containing an illustrated 'speech bubble' version for those who are just starting to read.
