Presto, alakazam! "Official CIA Manual of Trickery and Deception" magically re-appears
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." Wired Danger Room item here, and I'm gonna go buy a copy right now. (thanks, Noah Shachtman)
