Default The Magic Gang
Hi

I am currently reading Agent Zigzag - and the references to the work of Joseph Maskelyne and The Magic Gang have really caught my imagination.

Does anyone know of any good books that this aspect of WWII?

Thanks

I found a newspaper article: Second World War veteran Basil Atkins, from Biddulph, Staffordshire, on working with magician Jasper Maskelyne

Jasper Maskelyne Magic Fake War Built Tanks Magician Created This site makes reference to an autobiographical account called Magic: Top Secret

War Illusionist, The DVD, DVDs & Books , HISTORY Shop

Additional information Deceptionists at War | Dictionary of War

I believe there are some other threads on the forum which discuss magicians and illusionists of World War II.
