Description:

"Daniel Dunglas Home was a Scots American of humble beginnings who rose to international notoriety through his inexplicable feats of conjuring and levitation. The cream of Victorian society all had their say as, by turns, Home captivated, mystified, perplexed and outraged. Dickens denounced him, as did Houdini, and yet, in spite of numerous tests and examinations, his critics were never able to catch him out."--BOOK JACKET.
