Alex Stone - Fooling Houdini

Not the book I wanted.  Think publishers have hit on the Malcolm Gladwell of writing books a little too much.  This book was formulastic in much the same way as the scrabble tournament book and the memory championship book and etc.  While I wasn't looking for the answers to magic maybe I was hoping for more intrigue?  Hard to say but this wasn't it.  Not to say that it wasn't a decent read and I do know a little more about the world of magic now then before I started it just didn't go in the direction I wanted.  Perhaps magic is better seen then read?
