Professional Magician and Former Pastor Reveals How Tricks Invented for Entertainment Have Been Turned Into Weapons in New Book


Fool proof your life and learn how to recognize illusion from reality. In his new book, Misdirection: A Magician’s Guide to Spotting and Avoiding Manipulation in Your Life (WonderFull Entertainment, February 13, 2024) former pastor and professional magician, Taylor Hughes, shows how to spot manipulation, evaluate its harm, and move forward with hope.

“Misdirection has found its way off the theatrical stage and into our businesses, politics, and even churches,” writes Hughes. “In some cases, the people utilizing these techniques of distraction are unaware of the harm they are causing. However, in more scenarios than we would like to admit, the motives are much more intentional and detrimental.”

As a professional magician, Hughes has spent decades studying how to deceive people. In the book, he covers ways misdirection can be recognized and avoided at work, at church, in the voting booth and at home. He will reveal secrets to incredible magic tricks followed by a discussion of how those techniques are at play in our everyday lives. 

Hughes is available for interviews, as well as performing a trick or segment on a show,  and can speak to:

  • How misdirection can cloud your path in life and work
  • 3 tips leaders can follow to avoid manipulation in the workplace
  • 3 ways not to be misguided at the voting polls in 2024

Hughes is currently on a west coast swing of his national  tour. His new comedy magic special “Enjoy The Ride” is streaming now on YouTube. For more information on the tour, or the special, visit www.taylorhughes.com.

Author Bernard Grimm’s New Book, “Behind The Badge,” is a Riveting Autobiographical Account That Documents Moments from the Author’s Lengthy Career in Law Enforcement


Bausman, PA, September 10, 2025 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– Bernard Grimm, who served for many years in the law enforcement field with the Lancaster City PD and Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office, has completed his new book, “Behind The Badge”: a stirring memoir that shares highlights from the author’s astounding career in law enforcement, and how each moment left a lasting impact on him.

With over thirty-nine years with the Lancaster City Bureau of Police and the Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office, author Bernard Grimm has seen it all. From high-speed car chases, shootouts, gruesome crime scenes involving murders and physical and sexual child abuse and murder of children and others. Full of short stories—some sad, some comical—“Behind The Badge” takes readers along as the author reminisces on some of the most impactful cases he encountered during his time on the force.

“This book, I can assure you, will be an easy read, and as such, I hope you do not fall asleep while reading it,” writes Grimm. “It will cover my history of twenty-six years with the Lancaster City Bureau of Police, Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and over thirteen years of service with the Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office.

“Some of the stories may be harder to handle, due to the nature of the content, but they will all, in effect, show you, the reader, what it is like being a law enforcement officer.

“It will also be a window, for those considering entering law enforcement, into what they may be getting into, and if they can’t handle the material found here, they may not have the fortitude for law enforcement.”

Published by Page Publishing, Bernard Grimm’s engaging series is a candid and emotionally raw look at what law enforcement work can look like in America, and how the author’s life was forever shaped by his dedication and service to his community.

Readers who wish to experience this enlightening work can purchase “Behind The Badge” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

David J. Conley’s New Book, “Kennedy Assassination in My Opinion,” Offers Readers a Fascinating New Look Into the Unanswered Question Surrounding Jfk’s Assisination


Panorama City, CA, August 29, 2025 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– Fulton Books author David J. Conley has completed his most recent book, “Kennedy Assassination in My Opinion”: a poignant and thought-provoking read that presents the author’s own theories and opinions on what truly happened when John F. Kennedy was assassinated, shedding a new light on the events of the infamous moment.

“In this book, there’s a little bit about me to show you that I know what I’m talking about and why I am writing this book,” writes Conley. “Next is about Joseph Kennedy, the father of John Kennedy. To know about John, you have to know about the past—that is, John F. Kennedy himself, before the assassination. Then came the day—the assassination. Now the good part is the story and the evidence. Next was who knew, followed by who was involved—the cover-up.

“Why am I writing this book? It has been many years, and people are still asking questions with no answers. Everybody with their opinions, who are supposedly experts in their fields, is not looking at the big picture. People want to know what really happened. After reading this, your opinion will probably be the same as mine.”

Published by Fulton Books, David J. Conley’s book will transport readers as they witness JFK’s assassination in a new way, offering a different perspective that will open their eyes. Expertly paced and enlightening, “Kennedy Assassination in My Opinion” is sure to leave a lasting impression long after the final page.

Readers who wish to experience this compelling work can purchase “Kennedy Assassination in My Opinion” online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.
