Mulholland Fact: Mulholland was born in Chicago, Illinois, on June 9, 1898. As a five-year old, he sat enthralled by a performance of Harry Kellar’s. It would begin a lifelong love of conjuring. His family moved to New York when he was quite young and it was there that he began to learn the techniques of the craft. At age 13 Mulholland began taking magic lessons from John William Sargent at $5 an hour. Known as “The Merry Wizard,” the gray-haired, goatee’d Sargent had been President of the Society of American Magicians in 1905-6 and would later serve as Harry Houdini’s secretary from 1918 until 1920. He was a true mentor to young Mulholland and instilled in him not only an appreciation of the art of magic but of its theory, history, and literature.

Congratulations to:
RobDJr for FFTF (First FTF) on the 1st cache

Dear RobDJr as you can see,
We can procrastinate as much as thee.

This little poem is woefully late,
Since your first, first to find we wish to commemorate.

So sad your professor could not foresee,
What an entertaining writer you've turned out to be.

Whether first or second or third to find
Your logs indeed, do spellbind.

A RobDJr write-up is always great fun,
We laugh out loud when we are done.
(My personal favorite, June 15, 2008...Calling Don Quixote)

In our book, you always deserve an “A”.

CONGRATULATIONS also to:
FFS/Jake_2687 for Co-FTF on the replacement cache.
