The Minneapolis of the 1950’s offered a thriving entertainment scene that lured men and women with money into dozens of theaters and burlesque clubs. Variety performers arrived from all over the country contortionists, jugglers, ventriloquists, dancers and a magician named Jack Pyle, aka the “Master of Deception.”
In 2020, the magician’s son, John-Ivan Palmer, wrote about his father and the era of variety floor show entertainments in his memoir “The Master of Deception: A Son Searches for His Father in the House of Illusion.” Listen to our story by KFAI’s Britt Aamodt.

The Chippewa County Historical Society has operated the Swensson Farm site as a museum for the public since 1967. The 22-room house built by Olof Swensson and his daughter from 1901-1903 and the timber-frame barn they had also erected there help tell the story of the area s pioneer heritage as well as that of Olof Swensson, an innovator who arrived in the U.S. as an immigrant from Norway at age 29 in 1871.
