[HOUDINI] Report on Special Summer Convention of the Mass. State Association of Spiritualists. Dated June 24, 1926, and being a 15-page contemporary carbon of the report presented to Houdini by one of his investigators into the work of fraudulent mediums, the detailed report outlines the morning, afternoon, and evening sessions of this organization, outlining the subjects discussed at their meeting, describing the topics of discussion put forth by leaders, and outlining the “amazing" spiritualist-leaning experiences the members described. The final portion of the report describes “message bearing" from the gathered spiritualists presented to the larger group, and the writer concludes with, “…the most remarkable feature of the message bearing was the fact that some friendly spirit did not inform the audience … that among them was an emissary of their hated opponent, HOUDINI!" 4to sheets, well preserved. A fascinating document. Kevin Connolly Collection.
