An inspiring, vivid volume like no other!
Sleightly Absurd is a journey through the mind of a mastermind—Charlie Frye. Within its pages, you'll find a slew of hard won secrets he has developed, refined, and performed over some four decades on six continents, as a professional entertainer on stages the world over.
It is filled, nearly to overflowing, with bewildering, bemusing musings and miracles that—until now—have been the guarded brainchildren of this perplexing practitioner of the dark arts.
Now you, dear reader, can gain a backstage view explaining the ins, outs, and inside outs of over fifty fantastic feats, each mined from the mind of this peerless prestidigitator.
The
work is rounded out with an uproariously funny memoir and a series of
thought-provoking essays on character development, practice, and other
practical matters for the modern mystery entertainer, and all others who
take their art more seriously than themselves.
A book like no other—because there is no other!
No expense spared in its production!
A colossal colossus of conjuring and chicanery, from the one and only Charlie Frye!
Verily his equal does not exist!

Advance praise for Sleightly Absurd:
"Here you will find cleverly crafted magic, brilliantly
presented. Don’t just absorb all this wonderful magic; assimilate his
artist ethic, his pro-tips, and be inspired by his process. This is
where the craft approaches the lofty title of “art.” My highest
recommendation."
-John Carney
