About This Book

It's 1984, and as France play Yugoslavia in the Euros, a man meets a woman in a Parisian café. He's returning a bag that she lost on the Métro, but he doesn't tell her he stole it...

Instead, he tells her the story of Jean-EugĂšne Robert-Houdin, watchmaker, inventor, and master magician of the nineteenth century. Together they set out to find a vanished theatre beneath a bank vault in the Boulevard des Italiens, to break into a museum in the Trocadero, to uncover the mystery of the Mechanical Turk, to witness the birth of the Kinetograph... and to delve ever deeper into the Art of Illusion.

Le Cercle des illusionnistes by Alexis Michalik premiered in Paris in 2014 and won several MoliĂšre Awards. The Art of Illusion, Waleed Akhtar's English translation, opened at Hampstead Theatre, London, in December 2022, directed by Tom Jackson Greaves.
