Indian Conjuring

The author, Major Lionel Hugh Branson (1879 – 1946) was a magician, an officer of the British Indian Army and a firm believer that with perseverance mediumship could always be shown to be the result of conjurer tricks and fraudulent phenomena. A member of the famous "Magic Circle," he wrote a number of books on magic and his autobiography "A Lifetime of Deception: Reminiscences of a Magician" under his own name, as well as several under the pseudonym Elbiquet Branson. In this work he explores and reveals the tricks of the Indian "jadoo-wallah" or wandering magician/conjuror.
