Download or read book Miracle Mongers and Their Methods written by Harry Houdini and published by Cosimo, Inc.. This book was released on 2007-04-01 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Magicians debunking charlatans and revealing secrets of the trade: it's not something that Penn and Teller or James "The Amazing" Randi invented. The legendary Harry Houdini was doing the same thing a century ago, to popular acclaim. In this 1920 book, the master showman-and surprisingly entertaining writer-uncovers the mysteries behind such extraordinary feats as fire-eating, sword-swallowing, snake-charmers, and strong men. More a simple expose of stage trickery, though, this is a brisk history of such oddities throughout history and around the world, from the Middle Ages to the 20th century, from the culture of the Native Americans to that of Japan. This is a fascinating work of the strange and seemingly inexplicable made plain and understandable. Hungarian-American magician and professional skeptic EHRICH WEISS (1874-1926)-aka Harry Houdini, "Handcuff King and Jail Breaker"-also wrote Magical Rope Ties and Escapes (1920) and A Magician Among the Spirits (1924).

Book excerpt: Purchase one of 1st World Library's Classic Books and help support our free internet library of downloadable eBooks. Visit us online at www.1stWorldLibrary.ORG - - All wonder, '' said Samuel Johnson, is the effect of novelty on ignorance.'' Yet we are so created that without something to wonder at we should find life scarcely worth living. That fact does not make igno- rance bliss, or make it folly to be wise.'' For the wisest man never gets beyond the reach of novelty, nor can ever make it his boast that there is nothing he is ignorant of; on the contrary, the wiser he becomes the more clearly he sees how much there is of which he remains in ignorance. The more he knows, the more he will find to wonder at. My professional life has been a constant record of disillusion, and many things that seem wonderful to most men are the every-day commonplaces of my business. But I have never been without some seeming marvel to pique my curiosity and challenge my investigation. In this book I have set down some of the stories of strange folk and unusual performers that I have gathered in many years of such research.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Miracle Mongers and Their Methods: A Complete Expose of the Modus Operandi of Fire Eaters, Heat Resisters, Poison Eaters, Venomous Reptile Defiers, Sword Swallowers, Human Ostriches, Strong Men, Etc So I do not feel that I need to apologize for adding another volume to the shelves of works dealing with the marvels of the miracle mongers. My business has given me an in timate knowledge of stage illusions, together with many years of experience among show people of all types. My familiarity with the former, and what I have learned of the psy chology of the latter, has placed me at a cer tain advantage in uncovering the natural ex planation of feats that to the ignorant have seemed supernatural. And even if my readers are too well informed to be interested in my descriptions of the methods of the various per formers who have seemed to me worthy of at tention in these pages, I hope they will find some amusement in following the fortunes and misfortunes of all manner of strange folk who once bewildered the wise men of their day. If I have accomplished that much, I shall feel Mply repaid for my labor. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Miracle Mongers and Their Methods written by Harry Houdini and published by 谷月社. This book was released on 2015-11-26 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fire has always been and, seemingly, will always remain, the most terrible of the elements. To the early tribes it must also have been the most mysterious; for, while earth and air and water were always in evidence, fire came and went in a manner which must have been quite unaccountable to them. Thus it naturally followed that the custom of deifying all things which the primitive mind was unable to grasp, led in direct line to the fire-worship of later days. That fire could be produced through friction finally came into the knowledge of man, but the early methods entailed much labor. Consequently our ease-loving forebears cast about for a method to "keep the home fires burning" and hit upon the plan of appointing a person in each community who should at all times carry a burning brand. This arrangement had many faults, however, and after a while it was superseded by the expedient of a fire kept continually burning in a building erected for the purpose. The Greeks worshiped at an altar of this kind which they called the Altar of Hestia and which the Romans called the Altar of Vesta. The sacred fire itself was known as Vesta, and its burning was considered a proof of the presence of the goddess. The Persians had such a building in each town and village; and the Egyptians, such a fire in every temple; while the Mexicans, Natches, Peruvians and Mayas kept their "national fires" burning upon great pyramids. Eventually the keeping of such fires became a sacred rite, and the "Eternal Lamps" kept burning in synagogues and in Byzantine and Catholic churches may be a survival of these customs.

The Greeks worshiped at an altar of this kind which they called the Altar of Hestia and which the Romans called the Altar of Vesta. The sacred fire itself was known as Vesta, and its burning was considered a proof of the presence of the goddess. The Persians had such a building in each town and village; and the Egyptians, such a fire in every temple; while the Mexicans, Natches, Peruvians and Mayas kept their "national fires" burning upon great pyramids. Eventually the keeping of such fires became a sacred rite, and the "Eternal Lamps" kept burning in synagogues and in Byzantine and Catholic churches may be a survival of these customs. There is a theory that all architecture, public and private, sacred and profane, began with the erection of sheds to protect the sacred fire. This naturally led men to build for their own protection as well, and thus the family hearth had its genesis. Another theory holds that the keepers of the sacred fires were the first public servants, and that from this small beginning sprang the intricate public service of the present. The worship of the fire itself had been a legacy from the earliest tribes; but it remained for the Rosicrucians and the fire philosophers of the Sixteenth Century under the lead of Paracelsus to establish a concrete religious belief on that basis, finding in the Scriptures what seemed to them ample proof that fire was the symbol of the actual presence of God, as in all cases where He is said to have visited this earth. He came either in a flame of fire, or surrounded with glory, which they conceived to mean the same thing.

Download or read book Many Mansions written by Gina Cerminara and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2019-06-25 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A bestselling account of the many healings and other works of a legendary psychic and an affirmation of the belief in reincarnation. In this study of one of America’s greatest psychics, Edgar Cayce, Gina Cerminara explores the “magnificent possibility” of reincarnation as not only a method to understand our existence, but the truth of it. Using Cayce’s detailed and expansive files that span decades of his research and practice in the field of psychic phenomena, Cerminara delves into the essential essence of reincarnation and its purpose. Told winningly and to the heart of the matter, Many Mansions will be a revelation to many and a confirmation to some about the meaning of human life and the myriad of opportunities afforded to us by the existence of reincarnation. Praise for Many Mansions “Dr. Cerminara . . . is one of the most engaging and penetrating scholars in this field. . . . Perhaps the most attractive quality in her writing is the leavening of wit and insight which shines in these pages.” —Robert Kirsch, Los Angeles Times “Edgar Cayce was clearly one of the most remarkable psychics who ever lived. Gina Cerminara’s compelling book is . . . unique and extremely important.” —Jeane Dixon
