The revealing true story of a former psychic medium who decided to come clean and spill the real work of how she fleeced the innocent and unwary with her séance manifestations.

Most of the psychic and parlor séance secrets revealed in the book rely on chutzpah, not necessarily repurposed magic gimmicks, to make them work. This is good news for those who wish to recreate her miracles from beyond the veil, as you won't need to purchase thousands of dollars of special equipment to baffle (or terrorize) your own victims.

While doing research for the book, editor B. W. McCarron included entertaining information from old news stories that are sprinkled throughout the book. Also included is a scathing editorial of Mrs. Garrett's book from a Spiritualistic newspaper. The Spiritualist press wanted the author jailed for admitting to the larcenous acts contained in this volume.

Whether it's consumed for the story aspect, or by those who wish to assemble their own séance routines, we believe this title belongs on every psychic entertainer's bookshelf.

Magic World Publishers revised and expanded edition features two new chapters, three added illustrations, plus several edits and corrections.
