✅Topic Outline — Covered This Session
A rapid tour through the American legends that still haunt living rooms and roadside stands. With live demonstrations and hands-on interaction, you’ll witness how folklore, psychology, and sleight of hand knit together to keep these “dark arts” alive.
🔮Victorian fortune-telling lore, scrying myths
👻❓1890s parlor phenomena, paranormal experiences
🍀Rabbit’s-foot superstition, “good-fortune” elixirs, and a seemingly life-threatening test to see whether luck dares to intervene.
🧠Mind reading, Telepathy, and other feats that blur intuition and illusion.
Houdini spent his later career debunking such feats—yet the public never lost its fascination. Come find out why!
