The completely true, not-at-all-made-up story of how ten-year-old Tricky Nick became the greatest magician in the world.
Nicholas J. Johnson (aka Tricky Nick) loves doing the
impossible.
Nicholas grew up in the circus, he really did become a professional
magician by the time he was ten. (We told you it was a true story.)
Today, Nicholas has gone on to become one of Australia's leading
entertainers. Known as 'The Honest Con Man' Nicholas exposes the
tricks behind the tricks; the crafty reasons why we're scammed,
tricked and bamboozled.
He's revealed the secrets of deception on The Project, A Current
Affair, Sunrise and TODAY as well as at countless schools,
libraries and organisations. He is the host of the monthly magic
show Sleight Night, as well as a regular performer at Melbourne
International Comedy Festival, Adelaide Fringe and Edinburgh
Fringe.
Nicholas is the author of two books for adults, Chasing the Ace
(which was nominated for a Ned Kelly Award for Best First Fiction)
and Fast and Loose.
Tricky Nick is his first book for children.
