«Magic» is the psychological suspense novel by William Goldman, published by Plaza & Janés Editores in paperback (268 pages, in Spanish).
Corky Withers is a shy boy who doesn't fit in; his skill with card tricks brings him closer to magic, but he lacks charisma to succeed. When all seems lost, Fats, his ventriloquist dummy, appears, and his magic act becomes successful. Between ambition and pressure, Corky must face the limits of his own mind.
The novel inspired the movie «Magic el muñeco diabólico».
