As he traverses the platform from the stage to the boxes, he collects various watches, trinkets, rings, and other articles from the assembly. With a sense of anticipation filling the air, M. Robin calls upon Madame to describe these items without hesitation or error. To everyone's astonishment, she effortlessly identifies each object with perfect exactness despite being blindfolded. This enchanting image showcases not only a captivating performance but also highlights the Victorian era's fascination with clairvoyance and mysticism.
