Maximillian Delacorte was once the world's greatest stage magician. Now a recluse, suffering from a mysterious disease, he lures his family and associates to his lonely estate for an afternoon of magic, madness, and revenge. Bodies appear and disappear without warning, severed heads speak words of hate, and nothing is ever quite what it appears. As grisly tricks lead to ever more surprising twists, not even the Great Delacorte can tell where illusion ends―and murder begins.

"A fascinating variation on the locked-room mystery. . . with more hairpin turns than a mountain road. Now You See It . . . is absorbing." ―The Washington Post Book World

"There are as many twists and turns as a medieval catacomb in one of the most fun novels of the year."―Rocky Mountain News
"Matheson's prose is extremely smooth and the pacing frantic, with some outrageous surprise coming at least once per chapter, every three or four pages. The plot takes so many 180-degree turns that it spins."―The Philadelphia Inquirer
