Discover the Mysterious “You” Who Cannot Fail

The Magic Story—one of the most intriguing and powerful works of inspiration ever written—reveals the unknown but entirely real you: a stronger, resilient, and more capable being who shadows your daily existence and requires only that you invite it in.

In this imaginary but starkly real tale, author Frederick van Rensselaer Dey (1861–1922) reveals this “plus-entity” and how to encounter it. Originally published in 1900, Dey’s beguiling and instructive story is a “magic key” for all who wish to become the person they are truly intended to be.

This volume includes the complete text, an original publisher’s preface, and a new introduction by spiritual thinker Mitch Horowitz making it the signature edition of Dey’s mysterious classic.

“Since earliest childhood,” Mitch writes in the introduction, “you have probably felt, as I have, that you are two selves. Be guided by the principle of The Magic Story: select the self that builds you. It represents a more powerful choice than may at first appear.”
