He needed a drastic lifestyle change if wanted to see his small children grow up. Enter Crazy Ray. A former NASA scientist and unconventional, passionate innovator, Ray Cronise changed Penn Jillette's life with his wild \"potato diet.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003ePresto\u003c\/i\u003e, Jillette takes us along on his journey from skepticism to the inspiring, life-changing momentum that transformed the magician's body and mind. He describes the process in hilarious detail, as he performs his Las Vegas show, takes meetings with Hollywood executives, hangs out with his celebrity friends and fellow eccentric performers, all while remaining a dedicated husband and father. Throughout, he weaves in his views on sex, religion, and pop culture, making his story a refreshing, genre-busting account. Outspoken, frank, and bitingly clever, \u003ci\u003ePresto\u003c\/i\u003e is an incisive, rollicking read. In the end, it is \"undeniably inspiring\" (\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Penn Jillette\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1501139525\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501139529\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Simon \u0026amp; Schuster\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/06\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.40w x 0.80d","brand":"Penn Jillette","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43986899665151,"sku":"9781501139529","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2ef6acb6-5488-4a6f-b995-e2c86747a2a2.jpg?v=1683285822","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/presto-penn-jillette-9781501139529","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
