The basics of magic
In the mid-19th century, a movement spreading from America aimed at establishing contact with the deceased: modern spiritualism. This took up a theme that had moved humanity since its beginnings and that had found expression in many religions throughout human history. 32 pages
The novelty of modern spiritualism lay in the great interest it aroused among the general public. Its spread brought thousands of mediums to the fore, who offered themselves as intermediaries between this world and the afterlife. They invoked spirits in so-called séances, seemingly causing them to materialize in various phenomena. Such apparitions naturally aroused the interest of the emerging mass media, but also that of serious scientists and, in particular, magicians. While some academics were duped, the magicians were quickly able to prove that the mediums were operating by fraudulent means.
In this lesson, Harlan Tarbell shows you how to take up this highly interesting topic and implement it in the role of a medium in a seance. You'll learn the most important secrets that famous mediums used to deceive and captivate their followers. A seance held today serves solely to entertain the participants, even if the events unfolding in the dark may send a few chills down their spines.
