"Carter Beats the Devil" {ACT I: METAMORPHOSIS} Book Club Ideas {by Glen David Golf}

Carter Beats the Devil posters
 "The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion which stands at the cradle of true art and true science. Whoever does not know it and can no longer wonder, no longer marvel, is as good as dead, and his eyes are dimmed."
-Albert Einstein
(Taken from Carter Beats the Devil)

Carter Beats the Devil
I'd say our members, Kate and Angie, recreated the book cover pretty accurately wouldn't you?
(I cannot stop laughing at Angie's devilish stache!!)
 
This Books Moderator was...
KATE!
Kate works at an art gallery in downtown Salt Lake, she especially loves planning and coordinating the galleries events, such as the gallery strolls.  She loves to fill her free time to the fullest with traveling, attending fun events around town, crafting, being in the beautiful outdoors and, of course, reading!
You can see all of Kate's travels, parties and more on her beautiful blog.

*As Moderator, Kate planned the entire evening, came up with the décor, menu, prize, discussion questions, as well as photographing the majority of the photos in this post.
THANK YOU KATE!

Jenny made the caramel popcorn that went inside these gorgeous bags that Kate has owned for years but said she FINALLY found the perfect use for them.


I have never read a work of fiction more packed with interesting information and detail on magic tricks and illusions, inventions, historical facts combined with such colorful characters, both real and fictional, a fast paced plot along with great bits of humor.
