MAGIC OR MIRACLES?
Gilbert Gilbertson, an inept magic clown, suddenly develops skills in sleight-of-hand and stage illusions that confound expert magicians. When big wins start to drain Las Vegas' casinos, Gilbertson appears to be the culprit.
A skeptic doctor and a tough detective are assigned to the case. The truth turns out to be more spellbinding than the illusions, as the pair uncover conspiracies and scandals. Investigate this magician’s intriguing actions and decide for yourself whether it is simply magic… or miracles.
“Michaelis’ tale is not only complex on many levels, but deftly written, topical, and exhilarating. Michaelis nicely paces both the unraveling mystery and developing love affair, delivering readers an engrossing tale. This intricate and entertaining tale should appeal to fans of The Da Vinci Code.”
— Kirkus Reviews “With plenty of magic, mystery and suspense in the context of contemporary social mores, this brilliant and spell binding novel is a great read for mature magic hobbyists and professional magicians alike.”
— Jack Browne, Past International President and Member of the Board of Trustees, International Brotherhood of Magicians
