Description: Conjuring the Spirit World by David Copperfield, George Schwartz Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Occult objects from the height of Spiritualism seen through the age of WitchTok, where magic, tarot, and communing with the spirit world gain renewed power. Publisher Description Posters, photography, and objects from the height of Spiritualism and the history of magic gain renewed power when seen through todays lens.The human desire to connect with the dead since the mid-19th century gave rise to a fascination with the supernatural and the magical. Mediums and magicians from Harry Houdini, Margery the Medium, Howard Thurston, and the Fox Sisters offered "communication" with the departed at séances and magic shows, two interrelated forms of popular culture that relied heavily on illusions and stagecraft.This is the first illustrated volume to gather the art and objects that made medium and magician performances iconic during the Spiritualism movement and beyond, a time when people actively debated and wondered, "can spirits return?" An international selection of paintings, photographs, posters, stage apparatuses, film, publications, and other objects reveal how audiences were entranced and mystified by these experiential performances, captivating willing believers and garnering skeptics as they navigated the intersecting realms of science and spirituality. From the origins of the iconic Oujia board to spirit photography, this book is a treasure trove. Author Biography George H.
