THE SECRET GUIDE TO WORD MAGIC

Spelling is called spelling. Cursive is called cursive. And the most dangerous man in comedy just wrote a book explaining why.

Owen Benjamin grew up hiding under a cardboard desk to survive a nuclear blast, eating margarine because the food pyramid said so, and learning about heroin from a cop who made him act out an overdose in school. He was taught he descended from a primate through random mutation, that he was spinning on a ball of liquid nickel inside an explosion that came from nothing, and that the stars he saw at night were already dead. Then he was tested on everything and told he was smart because he could repeat all of it.

He became a comedian instead.

How to Slay a Wizard is about the people who run the tricks, the tricks themselves, and the one lie at the root of every spell ever cast on a living man or woman. It is not a political book. It is not a religious book. It is a book about manipulation, who does it, how it works, and why it requires your participation to be effective.

Starting from the dictionary definition of "wizard" and working outward through the mechanics of hypnotic language, the economics of fiat currency, the psychology of the con, the architecture of propaganda, and the spiritual sickness that turns a liar into a monster, the Big Bear dismantles every major spell of the modern age and shows you exactly what they have in common. Every spell follows the same structure. Every spell requires the same ingredient. And that ingredient is you.

This book will teach you what a wizard is, what an alchemist is, and why the difference matters. It shows how spells are structured like jokes that never deliver the punchline. It explains why the most forbidden word in America is forbidden and what the vampire myth is actually describing. It tells you how to spot a liar before the lies take root. And at the very end, the book exposes the one lie that has to be believed in order for any of it to work on you. It is so simple you might laugh. That's the point.

Once you see the secret spells, you will never stop seeing them. And then the wizards can no longer deceive you.

Eye Opening

This is an invaluable resource for anyone attempting to navigate the era of, decite, "A.I." slop, half-truths, and double speak we find ourselves in today. Thank you Owen. As usual you never fail to go above and beyond the call of duty as the Bardking. Can't wait for the leatherbound edition.

Easy to understand how liars operate and what motivates them

Five Stars. The wizard never stood a chance. Whether you’re a longtime Owen Benjamin fan or just looking for something entertaining and a little different, this one is definitely worth checking out. I had a great time with it and I’m excited to see where the story goes next. Onward!

Sharpening the Senses

How to Slay a Wizard explores how deception often hides in language, narrative, and framing. Much of what the author describes was already familiar to me, but I can imagine this book being eye opening for many readers. For me, it simply sharpened my senses. The ideas are explained clearly and in plain language, which makes the book both accessible and effective.
