Pressestimmen

• "This offbeat behind-the-scenes look at a magician’s life is as unpredictable, fresh, and distinctive, as witnessing one of Steve Spill’s shows in person."—Nolan Bushnell, Serial entrepreneur and founder of Atari and Chuck E. Cheese• "Steve Spill has been a pal of Penn's and mine since the 1970's. While we were still working for tips and eating dirt at fairs, Steve was running one of the classiest comedy magic clubs in the country, and still does (his current one is in Santa Monica). Nobody knows more about magic from the inside than Steve. And most important, Steve and I share the deepest bond of all: we both swallow needles."—Teller of Penn & Teller• "With his combination of writing and performing skills and his endless inventiveness, Steve Spill is a major asset to the world of magic."—Dick Cavett• "Steve Spill is one of my favorite storytellers. The man has pioneered more venues for magic than anyone I know, and along the way, broken lots of new ground as a comic, magician, bartender, busker, club owner, and now raconteur—and that's no lie!" —Joel Hodgson, creator/star of Mystery Science Theater 3000• "Steve Spill is one of the greatest magicians that’s ever lived. Fact. I Lie for Money is the most entertaining book about magic ever. Double fact. If you don’t buy this book, there will be a big hole in your life that you will never fill, a void that will haunt the rest of your days until you cry out in the night, ‘WHY DIDN’T I GET THE MEMOIR THAT CONTAINED ALL THOSE AMAZING STORIES ABOUT MAGIC?!’ Triple fact. The choice is clear." —Adam de la Pena, creator of the hit animated series Code Monkeys• "A unique eye-opening account of the backstage life of a fiendishly funny magician." —Kirsten Sheridan, Oscar-nominated screenwriter and film director• "A fantastic read packed with hilarious anecdotes and juicy tales of outlandish antics. Who would have thought the life of a family entertainer could be so wild?"—Michael Larkin, NBC Digital News Producer• "Instantly hypnotic! Before finishing page one I was drawn in and happily trapped in Steve's wild, surreal world."—Brian Brushwood, Host of Discovery's Scam School and National Geographic's Hacking the System• "I Lie for Money opens a secret door and lets the reader enter the almost unknown—and often misunderstood—world of the professional magician."—Brooks Wachtel, Emmy-winning writer and director• "An honest look at the hard work that accompanies doing what you love."—Steph Rodriguez, Manhattan Book Review• "Every person on the face of the earth who wants to laugh out loud and be amazed should read I Lie for Money."—Dustin Stinett, GENII Magazine• "As you turn the pages of the book you will travel along the amazing timeline that Steve has walked like a tightrope, stretched between his prodigious skills as a magician and his flamboyantly eccentric gifts as a showman."-Nick Lewin, Vanish Magazine• "A ridiculously entertaining book about [Spill’s] life and adventures as ajourneyman magician trying to make a living from his art."—Jack Shalom, segment producer, Arts Express, WBAI

Steve Spill is a former child prodigy who grew up to become one of the best comedy magicians on the planet. Over the last 50 years, he’s had a front row seat to the evolution of stand-up and magic in the latter half of the 20th century. Along the way, he’s entertained and amazed everyone from A-listers to African tribespeople, and thereby collected the frequently crazy and funny tales contained in this highly readable and frequently surprising memoir.This book stands out amongst many other show biz biographies because rather than focusing on the inevitable personal pain behind the art, this is primarily an upbeat journey. Mr. Spill is a superb raconteur, and whether he’s describing a wince-inducing mishap while vanishing a lit cigarette to impress the girls (don’t try this at home!) or poignantly relating why the worth of a 50 cent pack of cards is in the eye (and talent) of the beholder, he has an immediacy and wit to his writing that really draws in the readerThe appeal to magic buffs is a given (especially 11 pages in particular, where he describes the true secrets of a much purloined reputation maker). However, I believe even non-magicians will enjoy getting a backstage peek as to the level of thinking, passion, and commitment it takes to make it in the trenches of live entertainment night after night. Despite the title of the book, Mr. Spill’s personal stories illustrate certain universal truths of the human condition; hence, their great appeal.In short, Steve Spill’s journey through life thus far makes for entertaining, enlightening reading. It put a smile on my face, and I suspect it will for you as well—and that’s no lie! Highly recommended.NOTE: Although the subtitle of the book contains the adjective “outrageous”, aside from a few innuendos, Mr. Spill writes in a relatively “clean” style. It’s refreshing to find a funny book that doesn’t need to troll in the gutter for laughs.

If you just look on the surface there is the way you think things work and the way they actually work. There's also the way you think things happen and how they actually happened and then there's also the way you think people are and the way they actually are. This book shares with you how things actually work, what makes things really happen and who Steve Spill really is. All of these things are fascinating and make for a very enjoyable read. I highly recommend this book if you like to know the thinking behind the person and action behind the accomplishments.

I knew I was born a few years and a couple of states away from the mecca of show biz magic, but with Steve Spill's behind the curtain reminisces, I feel like Life has given me the gift of vicariously experiencing what I missed. Captivating, laugh out loud, can't put it down fare. And I'm only through the first few chapters (and my first sleepless night). I guess I could hash tag everything that immediately resonates with me, but I've been the kid who dreamed of seeing and knowing the greats, the legends, and of being able to entertain luminaries and the common folk with a sparkle in my eye and a sense of wonder. Steve Spill not only does that, he is that. And in his book, he tips his hat and out "spills" real magic. No spoiler alerts, just buy this story of a man's wonderful life, and treat yourself. It's a pleasure, and that's no lie. Thank you for sharing, Steve, and for inspiring a little more adventure and magic in me.

This was a terrific book. Steve's account of his adventures, his travels, and his magic was remarkable. It was a revelation of a world of wonders, of times and places it is impossible to see today, but it was a rare treat to view them through his eyes. I was particularly struck by the theme of active diligence and daring running through it, which led to so many extraordinary and wonderful... stories, as the title suggests. Steve's appreciation for those around him, for the details of texture, and colour, tone and demeanour bring his stories to life and touch them with story-telling magic. But it is also the story of a beautiful magical theatre in Santa Monica, that you can visit yourself!

I have a special fondness for magician's memoirs and to my two old favorites, The Memoirs of Robert-Houdin and Illusion Show by David Bamberg, I am pleased to add a new favorite, Steve Spill's I Lie for Money. Spill was fortunate in being in the "right place at the right time", Los Angeles in the late 1960s when the Magic Castle was the center of the magical universe, with Dai Vernon, Charlie Miller, Francis Carlyle, Albert Goshman, Tony Slydini and others holding court there nightly and the teenage Steve Spill learned from them all. He recounts those experiences and his subsequent experiences, first as "Highdini" opening for rock bands, then performing in comedy clubs, pioneering bar magic in Aspen, Colorado with Bob Sheets, then operating the the Brook Farm Inn of Magic with Sheets in Maryland, before returning to California where he defied the odds and opened his own magic theater, Magicopolis in Santa Monica in 1998 where he continues to perform his unique brand of comedy magic weekly with his wife, Polish born actress and writer Bozena Wrobel. Magicians will enjoy the inside tales of the Magic Castle and his years in the trenches with Sheets and others. Fans of comedy will enjoy his stories of working with comedy legends Bill Hicks, Dennis Miller and Joan Rivers. The range of celebrities he has worked with run from Sting to Steven King and his perspective on working with them is always entertaining. Of particular interest is a chapter on tricks he invented and audience tested that never got the response he had hoped, such as a variation on the classic "Rice Bowls" trick that he called "Timothy Leary's Brain". Other chapters also show his creative process at work, detaililng how he workshops an effect and then hones it in performance to become a signature piece of entertainment. Spill was only 60 when he wrote this with many years of active performing ahead of him, so one can hope that a sequel to this will be available in the near future.
