I actually have the reprint of the manual John Mulholland wrote for the CIA, so I'm having a hard time understanding where this sudden animosity for magicians is coming from.

I throw stuff.

They see Magicians at the same level as Clowns.

Not that there is anything wrong with Clowns, mind you...

But we're "Kid's Birthday Party" material to them.

"What! 3 thousand bucks for a MAGICIAN!?"

Seriously.

They will not complain much if it was a Singer or Actor or MC/Host.

Sad state of affairs really...
