Description

The Official CIA Manual of Trickery and Deception In the 1950s, the CIA initiated a top-secret program to counter Soviet mind-control and interrogation techniques. To counter these methods, the agency hired a magician to create manuals on sleight of hand and covert communication techniques. These manuals, now revealed, provide a unique insight into the CIA's approach to deception and secret communications. The manuals, written by a renowned magician, contain detailed instructions on various techniques, including the use of pills, potions, and powders. The contents of these manuals were thought to be lost forever, but a single surviving copy of each was recently discovered in the agency's archives. This book presents the only known complete copy of the manuals, complete with illustrations. The manuals offer a fascinating glimpse into the world of espionage and the art of deception.
