Synopsis
Excerpt from On the Other Side of the Footlights: An Expose of Routines, Apparatus and Deceptions Resorted to by Mediums, Clairvoyants, Fortune Tellers and Crystal Gazers in Deluding the Public
Should it fall into the hands of ones that have been duped by the trickster, who plays upon their superstition, making use of facts secured in regard to past history, family connec tions and similar information, for pecuniary profit, I trust it will in the future save them from these vultures whose only creed is Get The Money, regardless of methods employed or resultant consequences to their victims.
