Extrait: ...at each end, I hooked it into a ring or screw-eye which was attached to the ceiling, and from which it hung. To the lower hook I attached the handle of a small deal box, which was thereby held suspended about twelve or thirteen inches above the table. The reader will note with interest the impartial spirit in which Robert-Houdin approaches the vexed question of spiritualism--in his day a comparative novelty. In default of absolute certainty, he wisely reserves his opinion. Where, however, as in the case of the Davenports, he had an opportunity of personally observing the alleged "phenomena," he has neither difficulty in penetrating nor hesitation in denouncing the imposture. (See page 181, et seg.) We venture to believe that any of the so-called spiritualistic manifestations which had come under the test of Robert-Houdin's examination would have met a similar fate, and that Mr. Home showed a very sound discretion in not submitting his "levitation" and "elongation" to so keen a critic.--Ed. The company took their places around the table, joining hands in order to establish a magnetic circle; and, after a few moments of sober meditation, of which I set the example by maintaining a demeanour of unbending seriousness, we proceeded to ascertain the presence of the spirit, which according to my account was imprisoned in the box. "Spirit, are you there?" Three smart raps inside the box gave a reply which carried conviction to the minds of the hearers. Each person then proceeded to put questions, to which the spirit replied as briefly as possible; for, as is well known, in a conversation of this kind, the talkers of the other world are much behind ourselves in respect to linguistic methods. They...

Book excerpt: From THE PREFACE TO THE ORIGINAL EDITION. IN the volume published by Robert-Houdin under the title of Les Secrets de la Prestidigitation et de la Magie, the author expressed his intention of issuing at an early date a sequel to that work. Death unhappily prevented his carrying his design into execution; but he left behind him materials sufficient, if not, as he had wished, for an exhaustive treatise on the art of conjuring, at least for the compilation of a new work of a highly interesting character. It is this posthumous work which is now offered to the public. Not only is it both in structive and amusing, as revealing the curious secrets of the professional wizard, but, further, with the aid of the diagrams with which the text is illustrated, it will enable the hitherto uninitiated to repeat on their own account those experiments which Robert-Houdin modestly describes as "tricks," but which are in reality marvellous applications of mechanical and physical science, worthy in many instances of the genius of a Vaucanson.

Download or read book Performing Dark Arts written by Michael Mangan and published by Intellect Books. This book was released on 2007-08-01 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Magic and conjuring inhabit the boundaries and the borderlands of performance. The conjuror’s act of demonstrating the apparently impossible, the uncanny, the marvellous, or the grotesque challenges the spectator’s sense of reality. It brings him or her up against their own assumptions about how the world works; at its most extreme, it asks the spectator to re-evaluate his or her sense of the limits of the human. Performing Dark Arts is an exploration of the paradox of the conjuror, the actor who pretends to be a magician. It aims to illuminate the history of conjuring by examining it in the context of performance studies, and to throw light on aspects of performance studies by testing them against the art of conjuring. The book examines not only the performances of individual magicians from Dedi to David Blaine, but also the broader cultural contexts in which their performances were received, and the meanings which they have attracted.
