About this ebook

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.

Author

Stephen Ostrow

Stephen Ostrow knows magic. He just doesn’t perform it very well. That’s why he and his wife Monica, along with super-dog Panic Attack, have spent the past several decades working for a living, creating advertising and managing the printing of sales literature. A stand-up comic at heart, Steve has performed at several NYC clubs and, once, even received a standing ovation (from his best buddy). Steve has written stories and articles for a number of publications and is currently working on two new novels: Immorals and A Narrated Tour of Minterville, New York. A native of Brooklyn, N.Y., Steve is an avid tennis player and a long-suffering Mets fan.
