Item description from seller

8vo. xvi, 228 pp. Frontis. portrait, 8 plates, index. Navy gilt- and crimson-stamped cloth. SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR. Very good. Limited edition of 1000 signed and numbered copies. Trevor Henry Hall was a British author, surveyor, and sceptic of paranormal phenomena. Hall made controversial claims regarding early members of the Society for Psychical Research. His books caused a heated controversy within the parapsychology community. He had a deep interest in magic and mystery. Hall was a student in psychical research at Trinity College, Cambridge (1954—56). His knowledge of conjuring and magic helped him discover the tricks of mediums, many of whom had been caught in fraud. Hall was an ex-member and critic of the Society for Psychical Research and published a series of skeptical books on the paranormal and psychical research. He was a collector of magic books and was a member of The Magic Circle.
