More\nauthenticity. More empathy. More gratitude. A more fulfilling life. \nWith charming\, thoughtful insights from his remarkable life and career\,\nMeltzer uses magic as allegory\, sharing the secret that there are only four\ntypes of magic tricks: \n1) you make something appear\,\n2) you make something disappear\,\n3) you make two things switch places\, and\n4) you turn one thing into something else—the hardest trick of all\,\ntransformation. \nEmbracing each of these easy-to-follow tricks—and unleashing your kindness and\nempathy—will inspire you to craft a life filled with wonder and awe. MAKE\nMAGIC is an uplifting message from one of today’s most inspiring voices. \nBrad Meltzer is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of thirteen\nthrillers\, six nonfiction books\, and the _Ordinary People Change the World_\nseries. \nView event on Jlive: https://jlive.app/events/10617 URL:https://thejdetroit.org/event/brad-meltzer/ LOCATION:The J – Detroit 6600 W Maple Rd\, West Bloomfield Township CATEGORIES:Adults,College Students,Special Guest,Young Adults ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://thejdetroit.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/25.BF_.BradMeltzer-imagecard-hRJqOw.tmp_.png ORGANIZER;CN="The Detroit Jewish Book Fair":MAILTO:bookfair@jccdet.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250304T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250304T114500 DTSTAMP:20260428T210810 CREATED:20250201T082108Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250304T090517Z UID:10000974-1741084200-1741088700@thejdetroit.org SUMMARY:JGrand: Bubbies\, Zaydies\, and Grandbabies!
