Cole Balek is a liar.

Okay, not really. He just makes you think he’s sawing someone in half or that he’s trapped in a trunk. All Cole wants is to continue the love of magic that he and his late father shared by becoming the best tween magician in the Las Vegas area.

But when Cole and his mother get a mysterious note from a rare book collector, he’s forced to search among his father’s belongings for A Lesson in Magick, an old book of spells connected to an ancient group of magickers. What he finds instead are a series of coded clues his dad left for him - clues that send Cole and his best friends Ethan and Sanchez on a wild scavenger hunt throughout Las Vegas, in search of A Lesson in Magick. Cole must use every hack and magic trick he’s got, because he knows that if the book falls into the wrong hands, disaster will strike.

As danger mounts, who can this clever, funny, and determined group of friends really trust in a world filled with professional magicians, strange professors, and scary Elvis impersonators?

About the Performer

Josh Gad brings incredible wit, humor and depth to all of his roles from a summer-loving snowman to a wacky Mormon missionary. Gad recently starred in Disney’s Artemis Fowl opposite Judi Dench for director Kenneth Branagh which released on Disney+ in June 2020. In 2019, he reprised his role as Olaf for Disney’s Frozen 2, which is the highest grossing animated movie in history, and starred in Neon’s Little Monsters opposite Lupita Nyong’o, which premiered at Sundance. His recent films also include Universal’s A Dog’s Journey, Sony’s The Angry Birds Movie 2, Open Road’s Marshall, Fox’s Murder on the Orient Express, and Disney’s Beauty and the Beast. In early 2020, Gad starred in HBO’s Avenue 5 from creator Armando Iannucci. He will go into production for the second season in fall 2020.
He created a YouTube series Reunited Apart, which reunited iconic casts with the goal of bringing people together from all over the world during COVID-19. Each episode also raised money and awareness for a different charitable organization. Gad also took Broadway by storm starring as Elder Cunningham in the Tony Award-winning comedy musical Book of Mormon. Gad was nominated for Tony, Drama League, and Astaire awards, winning the Outer Critics Circle Award. He made his Broadway debut in a Tony-winning production of The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. After graduating from the Carnegie Mellon School of Drama, Gad began his career in the theater. He then turned his sights to comedy, co-founding his own company, The Lost Nomads Comedy Troupe.

Cole and his mother are living in Las Vegas, trying to make it through life and heal from the death of his father. One day, Cole's mother gets a letter from a rare bookseller who is interested in a book that his father owned. When Cole begins going through his father's things to find the book, he doesn't find the book. What he finds instead is a clue. This clue starts Cole and his friends on a scavenger hunt that has them traveling back and forth across the city of Las Vegas in the hopes of finding where his father hid the book.

Unfortunately, the scavenger hunt is not without its dangers. Very quickly, Cole notices that he's being followed, and an early run-in with several Elvis impersonators shakes up Cole and impresses upon him the true level of danger involved in this hunt. Not only that, but with everything happening, Cole is having trouble figuring out who he can trust.

This was such a fun listen! The clues that Cole was following really illustrated the depth of relationship he had with his father and how much fun they had working on illusions to perform. The number of misdirections had my poor brain spinning at times, but it was still really fun to listen to Cole work through all the clues. If you like mysteries or scavenger hunts, I definitely encourage you to listen to this audiobook.

An epic scavenger hunt across Las Vegas

Love the concept that Las Vegas is the magic capital of the US - I think I hit my forehead with a "doh" because why didn't I think of that before!! It's like the baby cousin of Hogwarts but no witches or warlocks. And underneath the mystery and comical friends (they may grow up to be in "The Hangover" yet...) there are heartwarming father-son moments. I will never look at Elvis impersonators the same way again, giggle!!

I forgot that Josh Gad was the celebrity narrator - kudos on his delivery.

My son found this story gripping, we normally listen in the car but for this one he had to listen on Alexa inside once we were home!
I originally downloaded this story for two reasons, one I have a little crush on Josh Gad!!! Two, I went to college in Vegas and feel nostalgic. But when my middle school son started to relate the characters to himself and his friends he was 100% invested and it was a great time! I do however wish that we could purchase it in print as well.

Obviously directed at a younger audience, but the story was decent and fun to listen to. Good way to take your mind off things.

Fun

Story was good especially if you enjoy magicians and are familiar with Las Vegas. I was interested in the story but having Josh Gad as the narrator cinched my decision to listen. He made the story come alive. There was just the right amount of suspense but not a lot of surprises as the story was predictable (for an adult, probably not for kids, the intended audience). Listened to see if it would interest students at my school and I would like to purchase it for the school library.

narrator was amazing!

It’s very entertaining and the story keeps you on the edge of your seat. The only criticism I have is it the writer uses a lot of very labored metaphors but other than that I enjoyed it very much. Josh Gad What is the perfect narrator.

Very entertaining
