Frankly Disillusioned by Dean Metcalfe

Frankly Disillusioned is the crazy, “rats an’ all” tale of master magician, Dean Metcalfe and his sometimes hilarious, often chaotic, globetrotting adventures with his glamorous assistant and wife, Claudine.

Dean explains with honesty and humour, how his and Claudine’s lives turned from a world of dazzling illusions to a world of bitter disillusionment. He candidly tells how their glamorous (?) lifestyle took them at times, to the edge of their endurance and had them sleeping with rats, dropping through the skies and plunging over ravines.

The magician exposes how he and Claudine were deliberately set-up and cruelly humiliated by the production company behind Britain’s Got Talent. All in the name of light entertainment!

This must-read book also offers a revealing insight into the secret world of magic and raises a colossal question mark over the curious and intriguing issue of life after death.
