Welcome all rascals and tricksters to this marvellous miscellany of
mischief and magic! This playful book explores the world of
deception and trickery – both the good and the bad.  Learn
the secrets of infamous magic illusions and tricks and discover the
stories of some of history’s most notorious hoaxes, pranks, and
cons. While some are great fun, others contain a serious lesson . .
. after all, understanding scams of the past can help protect you
in the future. Meet infamous pranksters such as Marcel
Duchamp (the French artist who pranked the art world),
renowned illusionists and escape artists such as Adelaide Hermann
(one of the first female magicians), and cunning
con-artists such as George C. Parker (the American who "sold"
the Statue of Liberty). The themed spreads explore a range
of topics such as made-up monsters, alien conspiracies, doctored
photos, disguises and pseudonyms, April Fool's Day pranks, and much
more.  If you’re feeling mischievous, you can even follow
the steps and tips spaced throughout the book to try your hand at
some pranks and magic tricks of your own! But keep your wits about
you, because fake hoaxes are included within the pages for
eagle-eyed readers to try to spot!  Perfect for
readers young and old who delight in a bit of mischief.Â
