He then examines some of the most famous mediums of the time, such as Daniel Dunglas Home and Eusapia Palladino, and exposes the tricks and deceptions they used to convince their audiences of their supernatural powers.The book also delves into other forms of psychic phenomena, such as telepathy, clairvoyance, and psychokinesis.
