The Magic Story: Complete and Original Edition

By Frederick van Rensselaer Dey and Mitch Horowitz

DISCOVER THE YOU WHO CANNOT FAIL!

The Magic Story is one of the most intriguing and powerful works of inspiration ever written. Did you ever feel that you were two selves, divided between ordinary life and peak possibility? Now you can discover the mysterious “you” who cannot fail in this special edition which includes a new introduction by PEN Award-winning historian, Mitch Horowitz.

In this imaginary but starkly real tale, author Frederick van Rensselaer Dey reveals this “plus-entity” and how to encounter it:

• Dress the Part
• Feed Your Other Self
• Talk Like It
• Find a Manifesto
• Stand for Something

Originally published in 1900, Dey’s beguiling and instructive story is a “magic key” for all who wish to become the person they are truly intended to be.

Be guided by the principle of The Magic Story. Select the self that builds you, the unknown but entirely real you: a stronger, resilient, and more capable being who shadows your daily existence and requires only that you invite it in.
