The Fifth Magician: the Great Beatles Impostor Theory Forrest Dailey

'The Fifth Magician' is a book that is difficult to categorize. It is somewhere between fact and fiction. Truthful facts and events have been put together to form what is considered an untrue urban legend. This book is more extensive than what you might find on the internet on urban legends web sites on the subject. The urban legend of Paul McCartney's death during the 60's tends to focus on the Beatles music while they were together. This book carries on into the solo years. Many of the lyrics and visuals that are supposed to be 'clues' to the death, are repeated during the solo years. This book establishes that the roots of the clues being dropped began much earlier than is generally thought by those who follow this mystery. It also places much more emphasis on the films that the Beatles were in, pointing out even more clues. The book examines what reasons the Beatles have left us to believe that this whole thing was a hoax perpetuated by them, as well as reasons to believe that it may have been true!
