Fowlesi loomingus on korduvaks motiiviks kangelase konflikt eneseteostuse ning ühiskonnas eksisteerivate reeglite vahel. Tihti juhatab kangelast vabaduse poole keegi saladuslik tundmatu ning teetähiseks pole mitte keelud ja käsud, vaid üha uued mõistatused. Nii satub ka „Maagi” minategelane Nicholas Urfe ühel Kreeka saarel psühholoogilisse mängu, milles põimuvad tihedalt reaalsus ja illusioonid.

Eraklik ja seltsimatu mees-liblikapüüdja röövib kunstitudengist neiu ja hoiab teda enda üksildases maamajas kinni kui oma kollektsiooni kõige kaunimat ja haruldasemat eksemplari.

On a remote Greek Island, Nicholas Urfe finds himself embroiled in the deceptions of a master trickster. As reality and illusion intertwine, Urfe is caught up in the darkest of psychological games.
