Did you know? The iconic Wizard of Oz character was inspired by legendary magician Harry Kellar! Known as “The Dean of American Magicians,” Kellar’s grand illusions and mysterious stage presence captivated audiences in the late 1800s and influenced the look of the Wizard in L. Frank Baum’s classic tale. 🌪️✨

He was the SPY MagiCIAn
John Mulholland was not a magician who begged for attention. He was the kind who stole it, quietly, and returned it to you with the receipt missing. He understood the hard truth about watching. The eyes record. The mind rewrites.
That is why the Central Intelligence Agency went looking for him.
They did not want a performance. They wanted a method, how to move a small object through the world without leaving a story behind.
How to let a hand drift to a pocket and return like it always did.
How to make an action feel so ordinary it becomes invisible.
Mulholland put these ideas on paper, practical instructions, the kind of book that does not belong on a shelf but for CIA operatives. It surfaced decades later and made into a book with the title, The Official CIA Manual of Trickery and Deception.
