About This Book

The text presents a practical course on thought-transference and allied phenomena, explaining theories of mental interaction and proposing analogies to wireless transmission; it surveys scientific experiments and offers step-by-step development exercises aimed at strengthening perceptive rapport, nerve-current contact techniques, and non-contact long-distance experiments. Detailed instructions teach simple to sensational parlor demonstrations, tests such as concealed-object and banknote experiments, and precautions against fraudulent methods. Later lessons discuss advanced phenomena including automatic writing and distant projection, and include performance advice, proofs, and exercises designed to train average readers to reproduce the described feats.
