    In the late 1970s, an ordinary American town begins to be plagued by a series of venomous letters. They start by accusing one of the residents of having an affair, but soon escalate into a large-scale campaign of hate. So when a man is imprisoned as the letter-writer, the town breathes a sigh of relief. Yet the letters continue, even with the supposed possessor of the poison pen safely behind bars. But how is this possible? And just who might the real culprit be? Plus, grab a sheet of paper and join Barry in a sinister poison pen letter magic trick!
