He died in New York City in 1970 and his books, papers, and magic collection are now owned by David Copperfield.
During the Cold War between Washington and Moscow, Mulholland shut down his prestigious magic magazine, The Sphinx, on the pretense of ill health, and began his collaboration with the Agency in 1953. Keith Melton, combined the two manuals -- one examining sleight of hand techniques and the other on covert signaling -- into one book, recently released by publisher HarperCollins.

Secrets From the CIA Spy Manual of Trickery and Deception
Among the many tricks the CIA had at its disposal during the Cold War was a top-secret manual of deception written by magician John Mulholland, a stage performer who honed his skills trading tricks in the back of New York City's Martinka magic shop. The CIA paid Mulholland $3,000 to write a top-secret guide on trickery and deception - a 'James Bond meets Harry Houdini' textbook, as master magician Lance Burton described it. All copies were thought to have been destroyed in 1975, but two intelligence officers managed to get their hands on the document and published it decades later.
Mulholland certainly wasn’t the only magician or illusionist to answer his country’s call of duty. But Mulholland's how-to guide provides solid evidence about how CIA officers were taught to exploit conjurers’ tricks for covert operations. The guide advises officers on sending messages with shoelaces and how to smuggle an agent out of a hostile country. The book is divided into sections on how to perform tricks with pills, liquids, and small objects. Other chapters deal with how to make people ‘disappear’ and ‘reappear’.
The CIA manual was part of the top-secret MK-Ultra project, an Agency program that investigated mind control. Mulholland’s 1953 guide - classified as MKUltra Subproject Number 4 - was supposed to be destroyed in the 1970s but an archived copy reappeared, as if by magic, decades later. Retired CIA officer Robert Wallace and Navel intelligence historian Keith Melton republished the manual as The Official CIA Manual of Trickery and Deception, adding illustrations and a history of the broader MKUltra project.
