Mulholland Fact: John Mulholland (1898-1970) was one of America's most highly regarded magicians. An outstanding stage as well as close-up performer, he had become a noted author, lecturer, historian, collector, editor, and world traveler. In many ways, he had helped make magic intellectually respectable. After 23 years of editing the magicians magazine "The Sphinx", he became a consultant to the CIA in 1953. His assignments included working with billionaires and inventors, cracking code and delving into the clandestine world..
