“Magic Is Dead is itself a magic trick: unexpected, mesmerizing, smoothly executed, and—above all—fun. With verve and wit, Ian Frisch infiltrates a mysterious world with a vibrant cast of characters (I’m looking at you, Laura London), and explores the powerful nature of secrets—and why it’s sometimes best to keep them.” — Karen Abbott, New York Times bestselling author of Liar, Temptress, Soldier, Spy “Frisch’s enthusiastic deep dive into the world of magic is infectious enough that it just might send readers to the stores for their own magic sets.” — Publishers Weekly
