Hello everyone,
I wanted to share my new book with the community. It is called, Magicians at War - How Espionage and Deceit Changed History. It takes an in-depth look at magicians of past who have used their skill during times of war and for espionage. I even interviewed a former director of the CIA about the agency using magicians as contractors. It will be available from most magic dealers soon but is available now at Amazon and at www.MagiciansAtWar.com.
Here is what is covered in the book...

Making a Naval cruiser appear, the spy stuff, his next trick… move a harbor!, the next task… hide the Suez Canal!, spy craft for the double agent and Maskelyne's fake army!

Thank you. It is just under 100 pages. It is an easy read full of vignettes between 4 to 10 pages long.
