Overview

Before the CIA built spy gadgets and covert technology labs, it hired a magician. John Mulholland, editor of the legendary magic journal The Sphinx, was secretly recruited during the Cold War to teach intelligence officers the mechanics of deception. His work helped transform sleight of hand, misdirection, and concealed objects into formal CIA tradecraft used in covert operations around the world. The Spy With the Hollow Coins reconstructs how magician techniques became intelligence doctrine through secret manuals, Technical Services engineering, and clandestine training programs. The result is the hidden story of how illusion became a weapon of espionage inside the CIA.
