The three choices I have right now are
SNOWY GALLOWS
SNOW COVERED GALLOWS
ICY GALLOWS

(again, deeply sorry for this not actually being about magic, but need the help lol.. if you wanna see my first book thats actually ABOUT magic, that might make up for this lol)

well, i could tell ya, or i could show it to you 
http://rosedogbookstore.com/illusionist.html (go there)
i had this character or someone who was going to be a magician of some sort, (but one of those old fashioned cape and hat types) in a bigger novel i was originally going to write. He was suposed to be a minor character that didnt do terribly a lot. I got really stuck on that first novel, and when i first saw Criss Angel perform on tv, everything just became unstuck...i decided to break the book down into several smaller ones and make The Illusionist a main character in his own books. I also modernized him, by making him look more like a street magician.
*Every single attack or deception technique he uses in the book is based on something ive seen in real magician type magic. Most normal people can't see it, but if any of you guys read it, you may be able to see where some of his techniques come from.
* with the exception of a few obvious ones, like the ragdolls that explode lol.
The book hasnt sold a lot, but what it has sold has gotten me some wicked reactions. Ive had girls tell me how hot he is, ive had guys whove known me for years do the whole "get my autograph then STARE at it as they walk away" thing, ive even had one girl punch me in the chest because one of her favorite characters dies 
you can order it directly from them, or any bookstore can look it up and order it for you you can also ebook it from the site directly.
This edition is also gonna be really rare in the next while, cause october of 2008, my contract with this publisher ends.
I also wrote another book, Il Demonio Dentro: The Demon Within
thanx guys

I agree with Snowy Gallows, it runs together well (a bit like Sleepy Hollow ?).
Anyhow, your other magic book sounds interesting. Good luck with your writing.
