Quote:
Loved the movie. Watched it again only to see that it's based on a novel and I cursed in my head!
If I had known it was based on a book, I would have listened to the book first or only the book and never watched the movie!
Anyways, couldn't find the book on the many torrent files I could so I got the book on audible where credits were just lying around and I got this instead.

Narrated by
Simon Vance
In 1878, two young stage magicians clash in the dark during the course of a fraudulent séance. From this moment on, their lives become webs of deceit and revelation as they vie to outwit and expose each other. In the course of pursuing each other's ruin, they will deploy all the deception their magician's craft can command. Their rivalry will take them to the peaks of their careers, but with terrible consequences. In the end, their legacy will be passed on for generations to descendants who must, for their sanity's sake, untangle the puzzle left to them.©1995 Christopher Priest; (P)2006 Blackstone Audio Inc.
