Stumbled across this today. Very entertaining read.
Blaine's $100,000 Challenge is an armchair treasure hunt hidden throughout the pages of Mysterious Stranger: A Book of Magic by street magician David Blaine.
Blaine commissioned a gold orb engraved with the words: Magic, Enchantment, Conjure, Charm, Astonish, Spirit, Prestige, Endure, Legerdemain; and then concealed the gold orb inside a hollow rock along with a private telephone number. He then hid his treasure somewhere in the continental United States.
On March 20, 2004, sixteen months after the book was published, Sherri Skanes from Ventura, California solved the treasure hunt and claimed the $100,000 prize.
The hunt was designed by Cliff Johnson, winner of "Game of the Year" for the computer game The Fool's Errand.
