Snip: “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 were believed to be destroyed in 1973. Turns out one survived
– and is now available on Amazon.”
