Excerpt from Hindu Magic
So far, I have described only one method of performing this mango-tree trick, and there are several other methods, which I shall now briefly enumerate - since the method above described is the one in general use, without a doubt. Another very good method, however, is the following, which was first made public, if I remember rightly, by Mr. Charles Bertram, the conjuror, to whom I am indebted for the secret, in this ih stance.
In this case the conj uror makes his mound of earth as in the last instance, and has a prepared seed, which he exchanges for an examined seed at a convenient moment. The seed in this case is, however, prepared in a slightly different manner. It is split in two, and emptied of its contents. Then one end of it is wedged open by means of a small wedge of wood, and several small pieces of string are inserted into the other end, which, when hanging down from the seed, after being placed in the mud, exactly resemble roots. The seed is then fastened together, so that the two sides or halves will not fall apart. This seed the conjuror exchanges for the examined seed at some convenient moment, and this is the one placed in the ground.

Excerpt from Hindu Magic
In this pamphlet I propose to consider the phenomena which are presented by the fakirs and yogis of India, and to inquire into their nature and the method of their production.
The feats performed by Indian fakirs are numerous, but I shall describe those most commonly witnessed: the mango-tree trick, the basket trick, the bowl of water trick, the dry sands trick, the rope and dismembered body test, levitation, snake charming, burial alive, etc.
As so much is heard of Indian magic, and the powers of the Oriental performer, it may be well to examine their performances somewhat critically, and to see how far we are entitled to assume that there is anything in them suggesting the supernormal, anything calling for explanations that necessitate the operation of laws "other than those known to Western science."
The Mango-Tree Trick.
I shall begin by describing the famous mango-tree trick - perhaps the best known of all the feats performed by the Indian conjuror. I shall first of all describe the performance as it would appear to the uninitiated witness, afterwards explaining the secret.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the phenomenon of Indian magic, specifically examining the feats performed by fakirs and yogis. The author, an experienced researcher in the field, provides a comprehensive analysis of these performances, separating fact from fiction and examining the techniques and methods employed by these performers. The book delves into the history and cultural context of Indian magic, tracing its roots and evolution over time. It also explores the psychological and physiological aspects of these feats, including the role of suggestion, hypnosis, and self-deception. The author argues that many of these performances are elaborate illusions, achieved through a combination of skill, misdirection, and trickery. However, the book also acknowledges that some phenomena remain unexplained and may point to the existence of genuine psychic abilities or undiscovered natural forces. Ultimately, this book offers a fascinating and informative exploration of the world of Indian magic, shedding light on its history, techniques, and the enduring fascination it holds for audiences worldwide.
