I ENJOYED this novel.  It was quite original .  The great and CAPTIVATING COSMO-X is performing magic at a child's birthday party when something goes horribly wrong.  The guillotine trick has somehow failed and his assistant wife is killed.  Powerful townspeople and  father of the dead woman have rigged the trial and COSMO-X is sent to prison and later to a mental institution.  He has always professed his innocence. Twenty years have passed and there is a fire in the institution and the magician is missing.  He has always vowed revenge so many townspeople are worried.  Five of the children from the party...BIRTHDAY boy Tommy and friends, have been scarred by what they saw 20 years ago and coincidently have gathered while Tommy has come to town.  They believe they might be in danger  also because they had been playing with that guillotine before the horrible incident and guilt has plagued them all these years.  People are dying in "magically" themed ways and its a matter of time before COSMO-X finds them too.  Some blood and betrayal; much mystery and suspence ; lots of terror and Gore mark the pages.  There are many tricks up the magician' s... sleeve so try not to close your eyes.
