Jasper Maskelyne - Having a magical time in war (perhaps)

This week we are learning about what happens when a magician tries to apply his skillset in an active war zone with the tale of Jasper Maskelyne.Determined to serve during WWII, Jasper ended up in Cairo where the British were facing off against the tactical might of Rommel in the deserts surrounding the Nile Delta.What follows is a story of increasingly sophisticated (and almost unbelievable) deceptions which, according to Jasper, were crucial in turning the tide of the North Africa conflict......of course that is if you believe Jasper.Guest Host: Emma Heathcote Hosted on Acast.
