Murder of a Magician

Murder of a Magician

From BoardGameGeek

Legendary magician Elvis Boone is back for one last show before retiring. However, during the grand finale, Elvis vanishes but never reappears. His body is found backstage, with a blood covered sword from a previous trick lying next to him. Boone had no shortage of enemies, from rival magicians to disgruntled employees, but with seemingly no way for the killer to escape, it's as if they performed their own vanishing trick. 34 PIECES OF PHYSICAL EVIDENCE - Inside the case file, you'll find newspaper articles, crime scene police reports, photographs, blueprints, witness statements, and more. SEARCH THROUGH AN ONLINE INBOX - In addition to the physical evidence supplied inside of the case file, you'll need to access an online inbox to help you decide which suspects are innocent and which are guilty - but it's not easy...you'll need to be a smart investigator to gain access! A GREAT NIGHT IN - With approximately 2.5 hours of game play (depending on your skill level) and a difficulty rating of 3.5/5 this "whodunnit" style thriller will provide a fun night in for all who choose to participate. If you can't crack the case without a secret clue, hints and answers are available online. -description from the publisher
