As a child, Tahir Shah first learned the secrets of illusion from an Indian magician. Two decades later, he sets out in search of this man. SORCERER'S APPRENTICE is the story of his apprenticeship to one of India's master conjurors and his initiation into the brotherhood of godmen.

His quest is utterly unforgettable.
