Her second and deeper sleep permits of the movement of the cone 'telekinesis, 'independent slate-writing, etc. But in this final deathly trance she has the power of projecting her astral hands, whatever that may mean, and the production of spirit voices. Perhaps she has an astral head " "I don't believe a word of it! It is all impossible, monstrous!"
This hurt, and Serviss shifted ground. "Does she keep up her music?" Again Britt smiled, but not humorously. "She plays the harp in the dark." "You mean " "She's taken on a lot more of the regulation tricks materializing flowers, slate-writing, music without hands, etc." "You don't mean it! I can hardly associate such doings with her," sorrow and indignation mingled in his voice.
Now, let us apply this to Home's séances, and to spiritistic séances in general. During the course of my twenty years' constant investigation, I have had many score séances with various mediums slate-writing mediums, materializing mediums, physical mediums, clairvoyant mediums, et hoc genus omne.
The manifestations in this province of Spiritualism, Independent Slate-Writing, would seem to be of a nature more tangible and direct than those of so-called Materializing or Trance Mediums, and, therefore, in this instance I determined to test to the utmost what had been reported to me concerning communications from one who stood so near in life.
"I certainly do not believe in these childish mysteries," responded Miller, "and it is strange to me that men like Sir Oliver Lodge and Sir William Crookes should believe in slate-writing and levitation and all the rest of that hocus-pocus."

It was prestidigitation for all concerned only the side of the children of Israel was espoused in the recital. Therefore, do not talk of black or white magic. There is only one true magic. And it is not slate-writing, toe-joint snapping, fortune-telling, or the vending of charms. Magic, too, is an art like other arts. This is forgotten by the majority of its practitioners.
This trick illustrates, in a very simple and striking manner, the possibility of reporting a fact in an entirely erroneous manner, quite unconscious of the fact that this error in reporting has been committed. Just in this same manner, are many slate-writing and other phenomena misreported, and hence an explanation of the seance, AS REPORTED, is rendered impossible.
Rose, one of our members, to sit for 'independent slate-writing' that is to say, writing on the inner surfaces of closed slates. Up to this moment I was profoundly sceptical, but I could not doubt the reality of what happened.
'Independent slate-writing' interested me, for the reason that I could put the clamps on it. Materialization, on the contrary, is so staged and arranged for that to prove its genuineness seems impossible at present; but slate-writing under your hand is a different matter." "I'd like to have it under my hand," said Miller, grimly.
