An apocryphal Spiritist in RussiaPhilosophical Spiritism
Prince D…K… sends us a flyer in Russian that begins by the following phrase:
“Obouan Bruné, a renowned magician, magnetizer and member of the Parisian Society of Spiritist Studies, will have the honor of throwing a fantastic performance, as announced, in the theater of this town, on April 17th, 1862.”
It is then followed by a list of tricks that the said Bruné proposes to carry out. We thought that the common sense of the large number of followers of Spiritism in Russia would have made justice to this gross imposture. The Parisian Society of Spiritist Studies does not recognize that individual that in France would have been taken to court for impersonating false skills.
