Excerpt from On the Other Side of the Footlights: An Expose of Routines, Apparatus and Deceptions Resorted to by Mediums, Clairvoyants, Fortune Tellers and Crystal Gazers in Deluding the Public
This manuscript was compiled primarily for the benefit of uninformed magicians, enabling them to adopt the various tricks and effects for their own amusement, or to detect fraudulent mediums in the presentation of alleged spiritualistic communications, etc., etc.
Should it fall into the hands of ones that have been duped by the trickster, who plays upon their superstition, making use of facts secured in regard to past history, family connections and similar information, for pecuniary profit, I trust it will in the future save them from these vultures whose only creed is "Get The Money," regardless of methods employed or resultant consequences to their victims.
A word as to spiritism or spiritualism - supposedly a communication by divers ways and means between the living and the dead - a creed or religion that has grown by leaps and bounds since the world's war, due largely no doubt to the receptive mood of widows, bereaved mothers and sisters when the merest opportunity presents itself for a possible communion with their beloved ones. I do not make bold to state that all mediums are frauds; no doubt there are a few really sincere, endeavoring to the best of their ability (but without results) to pierce the veil separating us from that unknown beyond. However, any worker who receives messages, answer questions through a "control" and otherwise, or causes seemingly supernatural occurrences to take place, emphatically does resort to fraud or trickery.
