A Julia Eccleshare Pick of the Month | February 2017 Debut of the Month | Magician and comedian Nick Mohammed has written a cracking adventure which sparkles like the magic tricks it is packed with. Young Magicians Alex, Zack, Sophie and Jonny are all keen to join the Magic Circle.
The quartet meet at their induction at the Magic Circle Headquarters and soon discover that all is not well in the world of the Magic Circle. Can they unravel the mystery that is causing the trouble? They certainly give it their very best shot in an ebullient, roller-coaster, action-packed story. ~ Julia Eccleshare

Alex doesn't say much, and once jumped when handed a satsuma, but, wow, is he amazing with a deck of cards. Zack is undoubtedly one of the best pickpockets in the country (but always puts things back). Sophie once convinced her Brown Owl that all the other Brownies were jellyfish thanks to her nifty hypnosis skills - and then never returned. Jonny - who is quite possibly the tallest boy in the universe - mixes science and magic with spectacular consequences (mostly explosions).
Nick Mohammed has been a member of Bradford Magic Circle for 18 years and in 2012 was made an Associate of the Inner Magic Circle. He is also a rising star in the comedy world, and increasingly in demand as an actor and comedian. He is Mr Love in Hank Zipzer on CBBC and also appeared as Casper in Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie as Tim Grimes in The Martian and as Ariyaratna in Bridget Jones's Baby.
