Australian police have called in the military to help find a local magician who has not been seen for weeks. Police said the 26-year-old’s disappearance is considered out of character and that he was last seen driving away from his house at 3 a.m. on June 14. His phone was turned off at 6 a.m. that day. In a chilling twist, the magician’s website states that “Transformation requires disappearance.” “The new experience is currently under construction,” it says, and invites people to “return soon.” It is unclear if the message on his website is related to his disappearance. According to friends, the magician was heading southeast to the Springbrook area in Queensland in his silver Hyundai, towing a caravan, both of which were found by police in a remote area a few miles south of his home two days later. The Australian Defense Force has been involved in the investigation. “Because of the terrain and the large area that needs to be traversed, we have been utilizing aerial assets in Queensland, including police, Polair and also drones,” Acting Inspector Brett Jackson said. Hidden’s disappearance comes just a month after a woman was reported missing from Bondi Beach, but there is no confirmation that the cases are related.
