Apologies if this isn't the right forum for the question, but I don't think it fits another one better.
In the December, 1944 issue of Popular Science there is an article titled, You, Too, Can Be a "Mindreader". The article details several bits of psychic / mental magic. The author uses the pseudonym of Michel Nostradamus to hide his identity. In a note at bottom the editors write:
"The author of this article, a world-famous magician, cloaks himself in mystery much as the "prophet" from whom he took his stage name. He is known to us as a noted authority among the now-you-see-it-now-you-don't men, and one whose "mental miracles" perplexed and puzzled us until we read this article."
Does anyone know who the author magician actually was?
Thanks,
Barry

You can probably find out the answer to that by looking at the 1945 Jan or Feb issue of Genii. They were very good about reporting stuff that related to magicians in the national news and magazines. Next time I open the AskAlexander web site I'll look for those issues and report back if I find it.
