EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing photograph captures the moment during one of William S. Marriott's seances in 1910, when a banjo appears to mysteriously float in the air. Marriott, a well-known spiritualist and medium of the time, was famous for his seances that promised to connect people with the spirit world. However, this image, along with many others, later revealed the truth behind the phenomena - they were all carefully orchestrated hoaxes. The banjo's unexplained levitation was, in fact, a cleverly concealed trick. A hook had been attached to the curtain above, which was manipulated by Marriott or one of his accomplices to give the illusion that the instrument was flying. The gullible audience, enraptured by the supposed supernatural occurrence, remained oblivious to the deception. Despite the exposure of Marriott's fraudulent practices, the allure of the paranormal continued to captivate the public's imagination. The photograph serves as a reminder of the human desire to believe in the existence of the unknown and the lengths some will go to exploit that belief. This image, taken from the Mary Evans Prints Online archive, offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of spiritualism at the turn of the 20th century and the complex relationship between belief, deception, and the human need for connection with the unknown.
