The book is Shah's account of his travels throughout India and his meeting with godmen, sadhus, and street sorcerers. He had embarked on the trip to locate an Indian illusionist who he had met as a boy in rural England and from whom he had learned magic tricks. The illusionist had been assigned as a guardian to Shah's great-grandfather's tomb.[1] On his trip, he met a variety of such characters,[2] many of whom run confidence tricks and scams.[3]
