A slighting of hands? Magician hopes not : Dale Salwak knows conjuring U.S. visits for N. Korean illusionists won’t be an easy trick.
For his next magic trick, Dale Salwak is going to attempt to pull international diplomacy out of his hat.
That is the plan for the La Verne college professor, who has found that getting in and out of North Korea requires some sleight of hand.
Salwak teaches English literature by day at Citrus College and performs illusions at night at places such as Hollywood’s Magic Castle.
