Hiya, folks. I was recently invited to give a presentation about séances and Spiritualism for Carthage College in Wisconsin, as part of their psychology club's annual Taboo Talks series. My presentation, "Spirits in the Dark: An Overview of the Séance Craze," lasted about 40 minutes and was followed by a Q&A session. Joe Diamond was there, and he video recorded the whole thing. If you're interested, I've posted it to YouTube: https://youtu.be/OwMbCnloqwk

Godzilla, you should team up with Mechagodzilla and do a Davenport Brothers type of act.

Great lecture/show David. I really enjoyed it, we have been discussing over in the Séance Chamber.

Thank you, Brynmore! Where is this Séance Chamber of which you speak (er, type)? I'd be interested to see the discussion!

Hey there. Some folks have asked if I've ever presented this séance talk as a lecture for magicians. So far, I haven't. I created it when I was invited to give a presentation at an academic conference, a seminar for anthropologists, so I wrote it with that audience in mind — people with no background in theater or magic. But I'm sure I could adapt it for other audiences.
