Description: Description of Photograph This is an 8x12 inch Reproduction Photograph made from a high quality scan of the original. When evaluating the quality of the photo, please keep in mind that most photos in our collection were taken over 100 years ago. Title: [Houdini and Mrs. Benninghofen, Chicago] Date Created/Published: 1926. Notes: Mrs. Benninghofen was a reformed spirit medium who had used a trumpet in her work. In these photographs she is seen demonstrating techniques of psychic deception to Houdini. The skill of spirit mediums was fully appreciated by Houdini who included the following statement in 'A magician among the spirits': 'The author does not wish his readers to suppose that the mechanical sleight-of-hand tricks carried out by Maskelyne and Devant and similar operators have anything to do with the mediumistic gift, for they are a mechanical copy of true magic. These tricks are performed with tons of machinery, whereas the genuine medium can produce wonders, if necessary, naked and in an empty room.' Subjects: Houdini, Harry,--1874-1926.
