Synopsis
A book of laughter and regretting Magicov the Magnificent, great illusionist, earns his living entertaining the geriatrics of Lotus House Care-home. But Mr Magicov (also known as Peter) envies them - they've mastered a trick that eludes him. They can forget. There are so many things Peter yearns to forget: the shameful moment an eight-year-old wrecked his life; the FBI agent who hunted him like a dog; that suitcase stuffed with a million pounds. More than anything Peter wants to forget Kate, the expert con woman. The one he loved and left. For renowned brain-scientist Dr Chris Tavasligh, Peter's craving to escape makes him the perfect candidate for his bold experiment in changing minds - forever. Faced with such an opportunity, will Peter go through with it? And if he does, who will he become?

Review
"HOW TO FORGET is a genuinely funny romp through some of the darker areas of the human mind and some of the more life-threatening areas of mentalism and magic. An engaging and good-hearted read" -- A L Kennedy "Praise for MAKING LOVE, A CONSPIRACY OF THE HEART: An exceptional piece of writing...as winning a first novel as i have read in a long time" Sunday Telegraph "Fantastic, hilarious...verbal pyrotechnics, supported by a fecund imagination of the first order" Times "A smorgasbord of romantic romp, pseudo-scholarship, urban melodrama and metafictional mystery" Time Out "Highly entertaining yet intelligent comic novel...Brill's sense of fun is evident on every page" Times Literary Supplement
