Magic or spycraft? In 1953, against the backdrop of the Cold
War, the CIA initiated a top-secret program, code-named MKULTRA, to
counter Soviet mind-control and interrogation techniques. Realizing
that clandestine officers might need to covertly deploy newly
developed pills, potions, and powders against the adversary, the
CIA hired America's most famous magician, John Mulholland, to write
two manuals on sleight of hand and covert communication
techniques.
In 1973, virtually all documents related to MKULTRA were
destroyed. Mulholland's manuals were thought to be among
them--until a single surviving copy of each, complete with
illustrations, was recently discovered in the agency's
archives.
The manuals reprinted in this work represent the only known
complete copy of Mulholland's instructions for CIA officers on the
magician's art of deception and secret communications.
