Wonders Never Cease: The Alexander Cannon tapes
Channel: Culture Vannin
Date: 2021-03-17

A short film built around the personal audio recordings of Alexander Cannon.

Psychiatrist, occultist, magician, hypnotist and author, Cannon (1896–1963) moved to the Isle of Man in 1939, where he set up his Enchanted Hall as the centre of Manx magic from then until his death in 1963.
He left behind many audio recordings of his talks, lectures, thoughts, shows and more.
Six hours of these recordings, previously unheard anywhere publicly, have now been released online by Culture Vannin:

It is from these recordings that Janet Lees created this film in March 2020.
