EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a pamphlet that exposes the tricks used by the renowned Boston medium Margery, dating back to 1924. Created by the American School in the 20th century, this intriguing piece of history is part of a private collection. The photograph sheds light on an intense rivalry between two iconic figures of their time - Harry Houdini and Margery. Houdini, a Hungarian-American magician, escapologist, and stunt performer, had offered a substantial prize through Scientific American magazine for anyone who could provide conclusive evidence of psychic manifestations. Margery, whose real name was Mina Crandon, emerged as one of the most serious contenders for this coveted prize. In this image captured by Peter Newark American Pictures and preserved by Bridgeman Images, we witness the unveiling of Margery's secrets. The pamphlet reveals her deceptive techniques employed during her performances as a medium. It serves as both an exposé into her methods and a testament to Houdini's relentless pursuit of truth in his quest to debunk fraudulent spiritualists. Through this print, we are transported back in time to witness not only an era when mediums held immense fascination but also the determination and skepticism that drove individuals like Houdini to challenge claims made within the realm of mysticism. This photograph encapsulates an important chapter in history where illusion meets reality with profound implications for both performers and believers alike.
