A new book called <i>The MagiCIAn: John Mulholland's Secret Life</i> by Ben Robinson was just released and I have to tell you, it's one of the best books on a magician's life I have ever read.

A total of 80 photos are reproduced. It will appeal to readers of theatre, magic and war history. <p> It comes with a foreword by the legendary <a href="john-booth-m-119777.html">Dr. John N. Booth</a>, who writes: <blockquote class=quote> "Ben Robinson has thoughtfully and beautifully synthesized the pile of personal notes and documents which is the legacy passed from John Mulholland to <a href="milbourne-christopher-m-43.html">Milbourne Christopher</a>, to Maurine Christopher and finally to author Robinson. No better foundation exists for learning what made John Mulholland into magic's most influential voice in the 20th century. This book tells that story." </blockquote> <a href="john-mulholland-m-88.html">John Mulholland</a> (1898-1970) edited the magician's magazine <a href="the-sphinx-p-80.html"><i>The Sphinx</i></a> for 23 years, ending the publication to be consultant to the newly born CIA in 1953. His assignments included working with billionaires and inventors, cracking codes and delving into the clandestine world of ESP research, LSD use and the secret MK-ULTRA world headed by the notorious Dr. Sidney Gottlieb. <p> During this period, CIA Dr. Frank Olson died the day after Thanksgiving, 1953. This book examines Mulholland's role during this dramatic period in the CIA's history and goes against the current trend of accusing Mulholland as having a role in Olson's fatal fall from a hotel window. <p> John Mulholland was "The World's Master Magician." He performed in forty-two countries, authored ten books and performed at the Roosevelt White House eight times. His 90-minute stage show was carried in two suitcases and included impersonations of authentic Hindu and Chinese mysteries. Theatre critics spoke about him as they did a great actor. <p> John Mulholland was an intellectual patriot who provided an essential component of counter espionage during the Cold War's Red Scare. <p> <i>THE MAGICIAN: John Mulholland's Secret Life</i> is the first biography of the man Dr. John N. Booth defines in his Foreword as "the most influential voice of the art of magic in the 20th century." <p class=ac> <img src="images/the_magician_spy_museum.jpg" alt="At the Spy Museum" title="At the Spy Museum" width="399" height="310" loading=lazy style="max-width:399px !important" class=shrink><br> In the foreground Ben Robinson is seen at the International Spy Museum in Washington D.C. on October 20, 2009.

As a bonus, he performed several of Mulholland's signature effects and even taught one of them. All in all, a very informative, entertaining and fascinating evening for all.

He brings to life a fascinating character in John Mulholland, and little known events with wondrous revelations, heretofore hidden from the public at large. The enormity of the the author's research and writing efforts are in evidence throughout.<p>If anyone thinks government malfeasance began with Nixonian manipulations and reached it's nadir during the recent Bush years, this story must be examined closely!

If I ever wanted to hire a person to write my life story, Mr. Robinson would be the man!!<p>There is so much to learn from this book, I had no idea Houdini's relationship with John or that he lived so close to him growing up - I can only imagine the thrill. The whole CIA aspect was also news to me, and again, absolutely enthralling. The inside knowledge the author has shared with the readers is truly outstanding. Mr. Robinson's writing is extremely intelligent and a joy to read. He captures the essence of a story that many people had heard about, but really not to the depth that the author knows. The fact that the author was bequeathed a private CIA file by Maurine Christopher in 1997 is an amazing story unto itself. Here is a book that will capture the imagination of magicians and lay people alike.</div></div><hr><div itemprop=review itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Review"><div itemprop="author" itemtype="http://schema.org/Person" itemscope><meta itemprop=name content="William V.

Yet even though he edited the Sphinx (the longest-running magic periodical and the most influential of its time), was friends with the greatest names in magic, and influenced them and many others -- his name just isn't that well known outside our little circle. Even within our subculture, how many of us know just who John Mulholland is?<p>There have been ugly accusations that he may have helped kill a scientist in the 1950s.<p>There have been rumors about his moral and immoral activities.<p>There have even been accusations that he did not write the many articles and books with his by-line.<p>There is even at least one generation who has no idea who he is.<p>Ben Robinson spent almost as many years researching this, the first biography of John Mulholland, as Mulholland spent editing the Sphinx. He interviewed key personnel and uncovered many previously classified documents -- thank goodness for the Freedom of Information Act!! And from the zillions of jigsaw puzzle pieces he discovered, he put together a fascinating document which is compelling reading.<p>The CIA in the title of MagiCIAn refers to Mulholland's work for the newly-formed CIA. You'll have to read the book to learn just what that was, but it well blends the profession of magician with that of intelligence agent. When there was serious research into possible defense uses of ESP, mind control, and remote viewing; anything could - and did - happen.<p>Magicians will enjoy this. Mentalists will find much to learn herein, and will catch subtleties which might be lost on others. Soldiers and military historians will find this to be exciting reading.<p>I've been all the above, and I loved this book!</div></div></div><div class=flr><a href="product_reviews_write.php?products_id=2132" class="but2 butBl" rel=nofollow>Write your own review</a></div></div></form><script> function scrollButtons(n){var t=document.querySelector("#"+n+' > input[type="radio"]:checked + label + .tab');t===null&&(t=document.querySelector("#"+n+" > .infs"));t!==null&&scrollDiv(t)}function scrollDiv(n){var t=n.id;n.scrollWidth>n.clientWidth?(document.querySelector("#"+t+" .rscroll").style.display=n.scrollLeft>0?"":"none",document.querySelector("#"+t+" .lscroll").style.display=Math.abs(n.scrollWidth-n.scrollLeft-n.clientWidth)<4?"none":""):(document.querySelector("#"+t+" .rscroll").style.display="none",document.querySelector("#"+t+" .lscroll").style.display="none")}window.addEventListener("load",function(){scrollButtons("infs1")});window.addEventListener("resize",()=>{scrollButtons("infs1")}) </script> <div id=infs1 class=infs-cont style="clear:both"><h2 class=infs-h>Frequently bought together with:</h2><div class=infs id=infs1_also style="height:260px" onscroll="scrollDiv(this)"><button class=rscroll onclick="document.getElementById('infs1_also').scrollLeft -= Math.round(window.innerWidth * 0.8);">◄</button><button class=lscroll onclick="document.getElementById('infs1_also').scrollLeft += Math.round(window.innerWidth * 0.8);">►</button> <div class=card><a href="the-magical-mind-p-12712.html" class=tt><img loading=lazy src="images/180/the-magical-mind.jpg" alt="The Magical Mind by John Mulholland & George N.
