About this Item

8vo. xvi, 228 pp. Frontis. portrait, 8 plates, index. Navy gilt- and crimson-stamped cloth. SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR. Very good. Limited edition of 1000 signed and numbered copies. Trevor Henry Hall was a British author, surveyor, and sceptic of paranormal phenomena. Hall made controversial claims regarding early members of the Society for Psychical Research. His books caused a heated controversy within the parapsychology community. He had a deep interest in magic and mystery. Hall was a student in psychical research at Trinity College, Cambridge (1954� "56). His knowledge of conjuring and magic helped him discover the tricks of mediums, many of whom had been caught in fraud. Hall was an ex-member and critic of the Society for Psychical Research and published a series of skeptical books on the paranormal and psychical research. He was a collector of magic books and was a member of The Magic Circle.
