In 1940 Brill, then chairman of the Expose and Ethics Committee of P.C.A.M. comes under fire for assisting the Thrifty Drug Stores chain with exposing magic on a twice weekly radio broadcast. Brill claims he only got involved in the consulting job "to prevent really good tricks from being exposed." Brill chose to resign from them SAM when asked to quit exposing or resign.[2]

Brill was eventually reinstated in November 1978, just before he passed away. [3]
