In the XIX century spiritualism was on the rise. Magicians did a lot to expose and debunk fraudulent mediums but ironically, spiritualists always claimed that magicians possessed supernatural powers. In this video I share some stories about John Nevil Maskelyne, David Devant, Harry Houdini and Arthur Conan Doyle.

Have you spectators ever thought that you are a real magician? Share you story in the comments!
