Greetings and welcome to The Cud!

Welcome to the August issue of the Cud!

This month the Cud interviews Aussie Hip Hop outfit Chaos Maths, Brian Swartz looks back at a lucky escape involving a member of the Maine Cavalry Regiment during the U.S civil war, and Evan Kanarakis writes a postcard from Portland, Maine. M. Christian examines one of the most extraordinary illusionists to ever be employed in wartime- Jasper Maskelyne, and Tina Booth pens our Cud Letter of the Month.

All that and much more!

As ever, we thank you for your continued support of our site, and remind you that we're always interested in new contributors, letters to the editor, and welcome advertising, so be sure to drop us a line.

Thanks again, and happy reading!

Oli Pennington & Evan Kanarakis
