EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a momentous experiment in telepathy, conducted at the Harry Price Library in 1933. The image showcases Dr Samuel Soal, renowned for his work in parapsychology, positioned at the center of the frame. Standing beside him is none other than Harry Price himself, a prominent figure in the field of occult studies during the early 20th century. The focus of this intriguing experiment is Fred Marion, who can be seen intently concentrating on a playing card placed face down before him. With an air of mystery surrounding him, Marion attempts to tap into his psychic abilities by sensing both the value and color of the card without physically flipping it over. This mesmerizing snapshot offers a glimpse into an era when telepathy was explored with great curiosity and fascination. It highlights not only the scientific nature of such experiments but also their connection to vaudeville performances that aimed to captivate audiences through mind-reading acts. Preserved within a private collection, this rare piece from English photographer (name) transports us back to a time when magic and mysticism intertwined with scientific inquiry. As we delve into its depths, we are reminded that there are still many mysteries left unsolved within our own minds – waiting to be unlocked through further exploration and experimentation.
