About this book
Look inside
Synopsis
A rare glimpse at the official clandestine activities and methods of the world's most famous secret service.
Trade review
An espionage/magic book dating from 1953, recently uncovered. The CIA enlisted the help of a famous magician to write two manuals on deception and sleight of hand, against the backdrop of the Cold War. Thought to have been completely destroyed, both are reproduced here for all those interested in spy history and classical conjuring.
