AccusationJack Yates & Ken de CourcyFrom the introduction: "Accusation" is a court-room drama, not exactly legal, of course, but realistic enough to cause the accused to lie and the witnesses to commit perjury! If the trick does not have impact, it will be your own doing. The Effect: From a list of criminals a spectator mentally selects a name and, from then on, 'becomes' this person. He also selects the crimes he will be accused of in the course of the examination. He also selects one, two or three witnesses who are put in the 'witness-box'. Despite the lack of clues, the performer reveals the criminal's name and his crimes. ... | ★★★★★ $8 to wish list | |

Hours with the GhostsHenry Ridgely EvansIllustrated investigations into the phenomena of spiritualism and theosophy. From the preface: The author has had sittings with many famous mediums of this country and Europe, but has seen little to convince him of the fact of spirit communication. The slate tests and so-called materializations have invariably been frauds. Some experiments along the line of automatic writing and psychometry, however, have demonstrated to the writer the truth of telepathy or thought-transference. The theory of telepathy explains many of the marvels ascribed to spirit intervention in things mundane. | ★★★★★ $8 to wish list | |

Close CallKen MullerA profound demonstration of psychic or paranormal acuity utilizing a single volunteer while engaging the entire audience.
