When professional magician Irving Flax uses a fiery magic trick to thwart a convenience store robbery, he gets arrested for assault with a deadly weapon. What follows is the outrageously funny, extremely satirical and altogether fascinating story of a man trying to extricate himself from a legal system that may be broken beyond repair. Joining the high-speed adventure are Irvings family (wait until you meet his mother), his lawyer (of questionable origin), his benefactor (who will resort to anything to increase his fortune), his rabbi (who wants to have Irving excommunicated), and a variety of savory and unsavory characters, with special guest appearances by a host of show business personalities. And you will have a back-stage view of Irvings magical performances where most of his illusions work, most of the time. This is a laugh-out-loud story that pokes serious fun at everything. It is a novel best read by humans. Heres what some readers are saying about Magic Irving and His Magic Shoppe: This is the funniest, most intelligent and thought provoking book ever written. -Monica Ostrow, wife of the author Magic Shoppe tickled me silly. -Mark Twain (or someone posing as Mark Twain) I do not appreciate how author Stephen Ostrow treats the justice system. -J. Edgar Hoover (if he were still alive) In Magic Shoppe, Stephen Ostrow makes Judaism seem fun. I didnt teach him that. -Rabbi Joseph Schwindall Stephen Ostrows former rabbi Stephen Ostrow sent me a copy of Magic Shoppe, but I did not read it. -Former U.S. President Jorge V. Bushwacker
