Although Stuart Cumberland (1857 1922) was renowned for his
mind-reading skills, he was a staunch critic of related
spiritualist practices. He claimed that many s ances and other
events that he had seen confirmed his suspicions that 'the chief
basis of the movement was money-making'. So he decided to launch
his own campaign to uncover the truth about the methods of
spirit-mediums, and in this work, published in 1918, he explains
many mediums' tricks, such as making tables move using special silk
thread, not spiritual aid. He lectured about the subject in places
ranging from Cambridge University to Lambeth Palace, and attributed
his own success to his ability to read muscle movement, rather than
any supernatural communication. Providing a fascinating picture of
the changing spiritualist movement, this work illustrates the
extent of the social and political influence of some spiritualists,
but also how credibility about their practices was being
challenged.
