William E. Robinson explains performances in which messages appear on slates or other surfaces without an ordinary visible act of writing. Beginning with single- and double-slate arrangements, he examines the preparation, handling and presentation that can turn a concealed method into an apparently spiritual event.
The book extends its discussion to mind reading, table lifting, spirit rapping, restraints and miscellaneous séance effects. Sixty-six illustrations accompany the explanations, helping readers connect the apparatus with the circumstances of a demonstration. This is the complete original 1898 edition, retaining the author’s preface and every illustrated section.
