Books with title The Magic Stove

The first-ever self-performing book of illusion, The Magic Show is unlike any other book of magic ever published--it actually does the tricks and illusions. The reader is the audience , and the audience will be wonderstruck.How can a book read your mind? Or carry out a complicated sleight of hand that will leave you utterly astounded? Created by two magic inventors (one a practicing magician and the other a magic-trick designer), and featuring state-of-the-art paper engineering and printing, The Magic Show features 12 no-fail interactive tricks. Pick a card, any card, and the book will accurately guess it every time. Spin the wheel and watch brilliant spheres mysteriously change colors. There's the Devious Dominoes, the Six Sorcerers, the Artful Aces. Illustrated with four-color mixed media art, The Magic Show is as exhilarating as sitting front row at a real performance. But with one huge advantage--a convenient "reset" book that's tucked into the last page allows you, the reader, to reset each trick with or without learning the secrets of the illusions.

La Peau de chagrin (The Magic Skin or The Wild Skin) is an 1831 novel by French novelist and playwright Honoré de Balzac (1799–1850). Set in early 19th-century Paris, it tells the story of a young man who finds a magic piece of shagreen that fulfills his every desire. For each wish granted, however, the skin shrinks and consumes a portion of his physical energy. La Peau de chagrin belongs to the Études philosophiques group of Balzac's sequence of novels, La Comédie humaine.

There was a period, from 1961-1967, when Roger Zelazny was magic, and every new story of his was an event. He was a tremendously variable writer. The heart-wrenching "A Rose for Ecclesiastes" (written October 1967) was nothing like the passionate "Graveyard Heart," which was completely different from the mind blowing "The Ides of Octember," serialized in Amazing as "He Who Shapes," which was altogether different from the post-nuclear holocaust romp, "Damnation Alley," published in Galaxy and released as a film ten years later.Zelazny had style, his language sang, his prose flowed like poetry. There was really no one else quite like him when he exploded onto the scene. Collected here together in one volume are the ten long stories that made Zelazny a legend. The impact of these ten stories cannot be denied. Reading them together gives one a sense of how rare an accomplishment Zelazny's early career was. Samuel R. Delany is the author of more than 20 novels including Nova and Dhalgren. He has won two Hugo Awards, four Nebula Awards, two Lambda Awards, and the Stonewall Book Award.
