The Man Who Really Fooled Hitler!


So, remember back when a really interesting book came out called The War Magician by David Fisher? This was based largely upon a book by Jasper Maskelyne called, Magic Top-Secret. Then at some point, the War Magician was accused of being highly fictionalized. I do not know, YET, that entire story, that will be for a later date.

But, now there is a new book called The Illusionist- The True Story of The Man Who Fooled Hitler. This is not about Jasper. It's not about Kalanag. It's about a completely different individual. I have not read the book yet. But it sounds like it is setting the record straight. I can't wait to get a copy. It is available through Amazon, I'm assuming Barnes and Noble has it and all your area book stores.

I will do a complete report once I obtain a copy and read it. Plus, I want to explore the entire story, where Jasper Maskelyne fits in or doesn't. Quite fascinating!
