CIA’s Lost Magic Manual Resurfaces -
Wired
At the height of the Cold War, the
Central Intelligence Agency paid $3,000
to renowned magician John Mulholland to
write a manual on misdirection,
concealment, and stagecraft. All known
copies of the document — and a related
paper, on conveying hidden signals —
were believed to be destroyed in 1973.

Tinker, tailor, soldier... illusionist?
- Boston Globe
Mulholland’s instructions were written
not for stage magicians, but for the
covert operatives of the CIA. At the
height of the Cold War - in the era of
nuclear missiles and submarines, amid
the tangled cloak-and-dagger
maneuverings of espionage and
counterespionage - the agency was also
secretly doing something else. It was
trying to learn to do magic.

Hollywood's Mansion of Magic Celebrates
100 Years - ABC News
One hundred years ago, a wealthy couple
built a mansion in Hollywood and
installed a speaking tube allowing them
to order a Scotch whisky from their
servants -- a handy trick, but nothing
compared to what the home's later
occupants would conjure up. Today under
the name The Magic Castle, the mansion
is a private club for magicians that has
been around for 46 years, and is known
by tricksters all over the world.

Our Favorite Magicians Ever - FOXNews
This week the 2009 World Magic Awards

sometimes gets a bad rap (OK, we admit
Doug Henning did not do much for the
industry's hip factor), in our minds,
the thrill of illusion doesn't get the
