James Randi leaves a towering legacy as an internationally known
magician, escape artist, and devoted investigator of the
paranormal, occult, and supernatural claims that have captured the
thinking of the public for generations. From ESP and psychokinesis,
psychic detectives, levitation, psychic surgery, and even UFOs and
astrology, Randi dedicated his life to exposing frauds and
swindlers. Forty years after the original publication of his
landmark book, Flim-Flam! remains a classic, with insights that are
still relevant today – and perhaps even more so. In this timeless
and timely book, Randi famously explores and exposes outrageous
deceptions that plague our minds and media. Unafraid to call
researchers to account for their failures and impostures, Randi
tells us that we have been badly served by scientists who have
failed to follow the procedures required by their training and
traditions. Mr. Randi provides readers with a compelling and
convincing document that will startle and enlighten all who
continue to seek out the truth.
"The Clavis or Key to the Magic of Solomon" is one of several
notebooks from the estate of Ebenezer Sibley, transcribed under the
direction of Frederic Hockley (1808-1885). Sibley was a prominent
physician and an influential author, who complemented his
scientific studies with writings on the "deeper truths" including
magic, astrology, alchemy, and hypnotherapy. Both Sibley and
Hockley were major inspirations in the occult revival of the past
two centuries, influencing A.E. Waite, S.L. Mathers, Aleister
Crowley, as well as the Golden Dawn, Rosicrucian, and Masonic
movements. This collection reflects Sibley's teachings on the
practical use of celestial influences and harmonies. "The Clavis"
contains clear and systematic instructions for constructing magical
tools and pentacles for many practical purposes. It includes eight
separate magical texts: The Mysterious Ring, Experiments of the
Spirits, Birto, Vassago, Agares, Bealpharos, The Wheel of Wisdom,
and the Complete Book of Magic Science. The manuscript reproduced
here is the most accurate and complete known, very beautifully and
carefully written complete with extraordinary hand-colored seals
and colored handwritten text. 282 color pages with a color fold-out
and a huge idex.
