Magic

“Some books grab you by the scruff of the neck and won’t let you go until the last page is turned. But I can’t remember the last time it happened with a travel memoir... Verdict: Surreal and stunning.” Corinna Hente, Herald Sun.

This is a true story. A young man heads off on a journey to find out if magic still exists in the world, to know its wonder, and to see if it might save him when his own life is unexpectedly at stake.

In the Caribbean, he meets a Rastafarian Don Juan who teaches him about the ‘natural mystic’. Fate propels his travels through the Americas and Europe to locate the source of this knowledge in Mother Africa, where his own emerging mastery of mysticism is tested by the Sahara desert. He is imprisoned in Nigeria, and tortured, and then sold as a slave.

Magic is an incredible journey, both physical and spiritual, that reverberates with the uniqueness of lived adventure and of a passionate heart and vision. Upon closing the last page of this book, we ache for the innocence to lose our way and

travel deeper, to rediscover the savage but delicious nature of the miraculous in our own lives.
