Talk:Jacques Voignier

Magician?

Wikipedians,

I'm waiting for Anthony Amore's book "The Imposter" to get picked up by a publisher so I can discover more information about this subject, and especially see how past accountings of Voignier differ to his new book.

However - I've discovered that there was ALSO a Jacques Voignier that was a professional magician, wrote a history of magic, and died in 2006.

It is possible that these are the same person, since this criminal/spy Voignier was allegedly taught magic by John Mulholland, and I've known plenty of spies happen to have enjoyed doing card tricks, and I can imagine that after Voignier's life of crime and cons, magic might have seemed like a legitimate line of work for him.

But I can't find a single document connecting the thread - and the magician Voignier had HAIR in the 80's. A full head of hair. Of course, it's possible that he was wearing a wig - they were more popular back then.

But if anyone can figure out what the hell happened to this person, that would be awesome. Guylaen (talk) 14:14, 9 August 2024 (UTC)
