In PRESTO! How I Made Over 100 Pounds Disappear and Other Magical Tales (August 2, 2016/$26.00 hardcover), legendary magician Penn Jillette tells how he lost one hundred pounds with his trademark outrageous sense of humor and biting social commentary that makes this success story anything but ordinary.

Topping 330 pounds and saddled with a systolic blood pressure reading over 200, Jillette found himself at a dangerous crossroads. Approaching his sixtieth birthday, Jillette needed a drastic lifestyle change if he wanted to see his small children grow up.

Enter “CrayRay.” A former NASA scientist and unconventional, passionate innovator, Ray Cronise changed Penn Jillette’s life with his wild “potato diet.”

In PRESTO! Jillette takes us along on his journey from skepticism to the inspiring, life-changing momentum that transformed the magician’s body and mind. He describes the process in hilarious detail as he performs his Las Vegas show, takes meetings with Hollywood executives, and hangs out with his celebrity friends and fellow eccentric performers, all while remaining a dedicated husband and father.

Throughout, Jillette weaves in his views on sex, religion, and pop culture, making his story a refreshing, genre-busting account. Outspoken, frank, and bitingly clever, PRESTO! is an incisive, rollicking read.
