About This Book

The manual surveys and offers practical instruction in a range of reported psychic phenomena, including hypnotism, somnambulism, clairvoyance, psychometry, thought-transference and muscle or mind-reading, distinguishing natural faculties from performative techniques. It summarizes experiments and anecdotes, sketches methods for cultivating or demonstrating psychic senses, and discusses spiritualist practices such as trance addresses and automatic writing while warning about fraudulent mediums. Scientific and experiential perspectives are presented alongside practical directions for entertainers and investigators, aiming to explain the phenomena and suggest tests and applications.
