Yes, The CIA Hired Magicians, Chapter Two: The Hidden Hands

While it might sound weird to think of the CIA conspiring to hire magicians, tradecraft and stage magic actually have a lot in common: sleight-of-hand, misdirection, performance -- you name it. With all this in mind, the CIA hired globetrotting magician John Mulholland to teach the world's most dangerous spies the hidden strategies for magic, and how to translate these entertainment skills to real world theft, smuggling, and homicide. The catch? Mulholland could never breathe a word about this for the rest of his life.

Yes, The CIA Hired Magicians, Chapter One: The Craft and The Art

The US Central Intelligence Agency gets a lot of criticism these days - historically, the institution has a number of missteps. The thing about unorthodox "outside-the-box" approaches is simply this: some ideas work, and some ideas are superb. A few decades back, the CIA hired a magician.

Don’t listen to anyone who has complaints. This is thee conspiracy podcast. The best one. I have never heard any political talk other than historical references. But I don’t go looking to get offended either. Best voices. Fun hosts. Great storytelling. Pay attention to what matters. The storytelling. Skip ahead on whatever doesn’t suit your fancy.

This show is very close to resembling 1930’s Germany. Except these woke boot lockers can’t fight. Im done with the whiny snowflakes who can’t lose for once. Get a grip and behave yourselves before you burn down Burger King and loot. Unfollow SS naturally i can never listen or be friends with anyone who disagrees with because they are simply subhuman. Im moving to a real country i can sneak into and get paid.
