Published in 1967, its insights are more relevant than ever in today's information-saturated world, urging us to question surface appearances and dig deeper.

The Masters of Influence Revealed

John Mulholland, a legendary magician, brought his unique understanding of misdirection and psychological manipulation to the battle against propaganda during WWII, the Korean War, and the Cold War. He masterfully demonstrated how the 'brainwashing' tactics employed by those seeking to sway masses mirrored a magician's artistry – leading the mind step-by-step until self-logic is elegantly circumvented. Collaborating with him was George N. Gordon, an academic who had taught thousands and possessed an unparalleled grasp of how people think in diverse environments, from academic settings to the streets. Their combined genius forged a compelling exploration into the mechanisms of thought and persuasion, proving their collaboration was truly ahead of its time.

Timeless Wisdom for the Modern Age

The authors, with a blend of humor and sharp insight, provide a firm reminder that the mind stands as our most powerful instrument, and human emotion is as surprisingly malleable as fresh dough. This extensive ebook, originally 282 pages (203 pages in PDF format, containing 79,996 words), offers a comprehensive and enduring guide to understanding the profound capabilities and vulnerabilities of your own magical mind.

Mulholland had battled the use of propaganda during WWII, the Korean War and the Cold War. He knew that the work of those who sought to "brainwash" masses used the same tactics magician's use for entertainment – to lead the mind on ingeniously, step by step, until self-logic is defeated. Gordon had taught thousands of students in a variety of academic situations and knew how people thought, in the street, in the classroom, and in the laboratory. Their collaboration was typically ahead of its time and a firm reminder that in the Internet age that what you see is often not what it appears to be. The authors remind us firmly, with humor and insight, that the mind can be the most powerful tool and that human emotion is as malleable as fresh baked bread.
