THE AMAZING FARTZINI by Shane Robinson
Eleven-year-old Eric Fartz and his mum, Ingrid, fled their hometown of Sheffield to start a new life in Ramsgate, Kent, to escape his father. Eric was a shy boy who lacked confidence; he had no friends and was bullied by two horrible boys at his new school. Then, one day, a chance meeting with a wise old magician at the local Christmas Fair convinced him to take up magic, which changed his life! Throughout the story, Eric performs amazing magic tricks, which help him become more popular and make friends. The story culminates in Eric entering ‘St. Bartholomew’s Got Talent’, but will he get the chance to take part? The cool, jaw-dropping magic tricks that Eric performs are taught at the back of the book, so the reader can also create wonderment like him! It is a thrilling, entertaining, and thought-provoking story about Eric’s struggle to fit in at ‘Big School’, filled with inspiration and advice, not only on performing magic but also about becoming more self-confident! A modern-day fairy tale about triumph over adversity, conjured up in the mind of a professional magician for the younger reader! “A magic book in every sense of the word!” Beautifully illustrated by Alexandra Stone. BRILLIANT! COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN! Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 May 2022 "I had the pleasure of meeting Shane a couple of weeks ago, such a lovely guy, and he signed a book for me, and also showed me a couple of tricks, which completely baffled me, and I've lost sleep over them. I've just finished the book, which was fantastic, and I've learnt some tricks myself now from the book, which I tried out on some friends the other day! Honestly I've been completely engrossed in the book for the past couple of weeks, and sort of sad that it's come to an end, might have to read it again! Thanks Shane! Life changing!" A MAGICAL BOOK IN EVERY SENSE OF THE WORD!"
"AMAZING! I love this bookit's a gripping storyline intertwined with easy to do magic tricks and step by step instructions on how to do each." Devi - aged ten. "INSPIRATIONAL BOOK! I bought two of these, one for my nephew (aged 10), who is reading it with his Dad. Also bought one for a family friend (aged 11). They all told me it's a great read and very inspirational...so much so, I've now ordered one for myself (and I'm in my 40's)." MJ. "BELIEVE IN YOURSELF! I liked the way the story encourages the reader to believe in themselves boy or girl. Overcome their fears and stand up for themselves. This book is written in a manner that has been well thought out. A story and a teaching book, great encouragement and learning a skill. A great confidence builder, and a crowd-pleaser. Well written, touching, and at times, humorous. Believe in the Magic!" Easy Reader. "GREAT BOOK FOR ALL AGES! Fantastic book, which would be great for children, but even as an adult had me gripped from start to finish. A good price considering the book contains a section which is a magic book (often this price in their own right), along with the novel and self-help sections. Alici fooks. "PERFECT FOR CHILDREN ELEVEN PLUS! A wonderful book to show children how to build their confidence and self-esteem, and to believe in themselves and triumph. A magic book in more ways than one!" Val Hampton. "GREAT STORYBOOK! Would recommend this exciting adventure story, magical storyline and works well with the illustrations." Louise Spencer.
