Many persons claim to have the power"
of telepathy, but are unwilling TO subject
their claims to scientific investigation. Most

investigated thought readers, some of whom
turned out to be sincere amateurs easily

Assembly No. 1, New York, Society Of American
Magicans recently wrote letter TO The American
Weekly, in which he officially stated the feelings
OF his organization regarding the mental marvels.
He said
Fortune telling and mind reading are two lines
Of endeavor which the Society does not subscribe
to except when the medium or performer frankly
states that he is providing entertainment and
following magical principles
"In other words, the Society does not and viii
not believe in either of these socaed sciences
until the performer is willing to demonstrate his
ability before the Society without the assistance
of either paid or unpaid stooges, but IL does sub

The Society of American Magicians. which
respect and admire for high ideals and rigorous
code of ethics, has long sought 10 prove to the
general public that mind readers are nothing OF
the sort, but magcians and tricksters of varying
degrees of skill.
The S. A. M is but one of several organizations
offering huge rewards to any individual who can
authenticate mind reading-who can actually per-
form feats of the mind which any S. A. NJ. member
cannot explain away as being nothing more than
trickery and deception.
Thus far no member of the mind reading
fraternity has sought to take advantage of this
offer, of the other fabulous sums that are being
held out enticement TO anyone able to prove
there is such thing as psychic power.

believe, as the s. A. NJ does, that many people
throughout the United States have acquired a
belief in the supernatural and in psychic phenom-
ena, only because their minds have been influenced
that way by the so-called mental marvels.
The mentalist, by and large is not dishonest.
He eXacts a fee for his services which sup
posed to be along entertainment lines He cannot
understand the fuss and commotion about the
small deceit" he practices in permitting people to
believe he has supernatural powers. He is not at
all concerned with the farreaching Ill effects of
letting people think that way.
