Like all great adventures, this one starts with someone trying to
get a girl. After all, King Meneleaus didn't go to Troy for the
baklava. Playwright, journalist, comedian and best-selling author
Mark Leiren-Young recalls his teenage escapades in his hilarious
new memoir and coming of age story, Free Magic Secrets Revealed. A
geeky bully-magnet, Mark was seventeen and wanted to be a
playwright, but even more than that, he wanted to impress Sarah,
who he'd pined for since elementary school. It's 1979 and, thanks
to Doug Henning, magic is hip so Mark hooks up with Randy, a stoner
magician, and Kyle, an ambitious young actor, to chase fame -- and
the women of their dreams. The three teenagers team up to put on a
small-time magic show, attracting the attention of a big-time
promoter who convinces them they have a shot at a world tour
...except they need bigger illusions, an original soundtrack and a
better supporting cast. Seeing a chance at having all their dreams
come true, they sacrifice their grades, their money and eventually
their dream girls to create a show they hope will be like Star Wars
on stage. But they're not that good. Mark's script makes no sense
because it's part one of a trilogy. Randy promises to build magic
tricks he can't actually make. And Kyle will do anything for the
show -- except wear the helmet that's critical to the plot and half
the illusions. And is it worth getting your head cut off to get a
date? The show goes on and the guys embrace their fate --
determined to show the world what they can do.
