Bookroo's summary

Tim Swanson dreams of becoming a magician like his hero, Amaz-O. But when he discovers Amaz-O's true nature, Tim impulsively steals his bag of tricks. Inside, he finds more than he bargained for—tricks that are not just illusions but dangerously real. As red balls multiply and snakes hiss, Tim must navigate a world of magic gone awry. Can he control the chaos he's unleashed, or will the tricks control him? Dive into a tale where every trick holds a terrifying surprise, and nothing is as it seems. Beware, for the magic is real and the scares are endless.

From the publisher

Hoping to be a real magician someday, Tim Swanson practices the tricks performed by his idol, Amaz-O, but when Tim attends one of Amaz-O’s shows, he is disappointed to learn that his hero is a grump and decides to steal his bag of tricks. Original.
