The staff has been paid to keep quiet about what happened there, but the stories seep through.

Michael Hawke, a young actor making a living as a street performer, is working the summer afternoon crowd with his usual combination of mime and magic tricks, while his girlfriend Emily passes the hat. Then he sees the old man, oddly dressed, almost comical, making his way through the crowd. Thinking him a likely victim for his antics, he attempts to involve the old man in his act. But the stranger will have nothing to do with it, and warns him, "Never touch me." And that is when it happened: Michael experiences real magic-a mind-numbing, soul-shocking glimpse into a dark and sinister and utterly seductive world of secrets better not revealed. And from that moment on, his whole life changes, for from now on there will be no turning back Following his first encounter with what he comes to know as "Night Magic," Michael begins an obsessive search to find the old man who has so effectively piqued his curiosity. What Michael doesn't realize, however, is that in reality the search is over, for the old man-who in this life calls himself Max-has found him. As Michael, enthralled by the wonders of a magic that transcends mortal comprehension, finally becomes apprentice to the magician, his life as a carefree street performer is replaced by an overwhelming need to understand and master the very darkest of all magical arts. Michael soon finds himself caught in a bitter and dangerous triangle, torn between his love for Emily and Max's demands that he commit himself body and soul to the study of black magic. Gradually Michael is drawn deeper and deeper into Max's web of mysteries and ultimately is lured into a trap from which there will be no way out. For when the sorcerer stages his final performance, his grand exit from this world, he passes on to Michael all the powers of magic and mystery he has carried with him through centuries of darkness. It is everything the young man has sought- and a curse from which he will find no escape.
Night Magic: A Novel
by Thomas Tryon&“A slick Manhattan spin on the story of the sorcerer&’s apprentice&” from the New York Times–bestselling author of the horror classic The Other (Chicago Tribune). Though he bills himself as the Greatest Magician in the World, Michael Hawke is painfully aware that he&’s nothing more than a sidewalk. He plies his trade outside the Metropolitan Museum of Art, entrancing passing crowds with feats of conjuring and sleight of hand. One afternoon, he plays a trick on a shabbily dressed man whose beard is twisted and whose glass eye gives him a sinister leer. Offended, the man responds with magic of his own, casting a spell that causes Michael to hop like a frog, maniacally splashing in the fountain until the police have to haul him out. When he recovers from this trance, Michael knows that he has encountered a true magician, one whose secrets he will give anything to understand. But this is black magic, mysterious and deadly, and pursuing it will mean a confrontation with an evil older than civilization itself.
