Pebbled brown cloth ruled blind and lettered in gilt. Two diagrams of s?ance rooms. 8vo. Tiny chips to a few page edges, gutter of title page ragged and binding tender, pages uniformly browned, but very good to near fine overall. SIGNED on the title page in ink by Harry Houdini, with a pencil notation on the facing page stating, ?From the library of the late Eva Anna Fay [sic] (Mrs. Pingree) stage spiritualist.? An important association copy linking two famed mystery entertainers and Houdini?s deep interest in the world of spirit mediums and their disciples.

The book deals with his experiences in s?ance rooms and alludes to both ?real? and fraudulent mediums, legerdemain, and other related topics.
