EP33: Mulholland's Magic Manual

from The Cold War Vault · host Dr. DJ Kinney

Not Quite "Science and the CIA," but definitely a sequel to those last couple of episodes, this show deals with a subproject of MKULTRA called "Magic Manual." Long thought to just be a myth in the walls of the CIA, the "Magic Manual" written by famed magician John Mulholland for the MKULTRA program finally surfaced in an unrelated archive. This episode will look at how the CIA put the tricks of stage magic to work, from Sidney Gotlieb's LSD experiments to the exfiltration of KGB agents. Trick your friends and disappear your enemies!
