The Vanished Man by Jeffrey Deaver?

i've jusr re-read it and now i can appreciate the research that he has doe in the field.

Without spoiling the story the baddie is a magician who's a bit mental and reinacts several big tricks, like sawing someone in half, with real people.

good book - well worth a read.

yes indeed i have, though there are some incredibly daft explanations for some of the magic.

It should make a good film. Bonecollectors, another of his stories did. in fact its one of my favorite movies.

I have it but have never got around to reading it
