The Magician of the Year<\/p>\n

Guy Hollingworth has been awarded the coveted title \u2018The Magician of the Year\u2019 by the Academy of Magical Arts. The prestigious award, presented to Guy at a ceremony in Los Angeles, has previously been awarded to David Blaine, Paul Daniels and Derren Brown. Guy is famous internationally for his outstanding sleight of hand and card technique and is also author of the best selling book, Drawing Room Deceptions. The book includes details of his most widely known trick; The Reformation, where a signed playing card is torn into quarters and reformed piece by piece in front of the closely watching audience.

The show is based on the book of the same name and tells the story of two boys whose passion for card trickery leads them to a dark life of dangerous cons, hustles, deception and death.
