A con man reinvents himself as a reality TV magician
by Mark Frauenfelder from on (#QC85)
Aiden Sinclair claims he was a con man who spent five years in prison after turning himself in to U.S. Marshals. Today, he is a magician and performer who shares stories of his life as a grifter. He's assumed many identities in the past, impersonating a Navy Seal, a veteran of the French Foreign Legion, a DEA agent, and a cruise ship bartender. Jess Zimmerman of Atlas Obscura has a long profile about Aiden Sinclair, and explores the idea that Sinclair's latest persona as a "grifter magician" could merely be his latest false identity.
Whatever the case may be, he is a good magician!https://youtu.be/Ofm2ug78Z4g
