Summary
Two magic shows: the Maestros of Magic touring the country, playing provincial theatres; the Carnival of Conjurors successful in the West End. When the Maestros learn that the Conjurors are using real magic - Black Magic - to do their tricks they decide that they must use their own, distinctly unmagical, stage skills to stop them. Soon people are dying on stage - but can the Maestros really beat a team that has the devil on their side?
A darkly humorous thriller by a writer, who knows the world of magicians and stage magic.

Darkly Entertaining
Dark Magic sets out an interesting premise: are magicians who use real magic rather than tricks charlatans? The answer from Tom Williams’ very entertaining novella is yes. If something looks too good to be true then it really should be avoided at all costs. Williams takes the listener/reader on a cleverly plotted journey into darkness. With an alchemists deftness of touch, he spins what could be a very disturbing story into a sharply observed dark comedy that exposes the illusion of fame and success with the simple truth that every action has a reaction. When ‘The Carnival of Conjurors’, a group of second rate magicians, starts to use real magic to produce incredible stage shows, the universe starts to rebalance itself and people die. The ‘Maestros of Magic’ a rival group of magicians, spurred on by an agent provocateur, set out to expose them with devastating results. The novel crackles with a dry wit, that is captured superbly by Tom Williams laconic reading.
