    Magicians on the Paranormal: an Essay with a Review of Three Books

    Magicians on the Paranormal: An Essay with a Review of Three Books GEORGE P. HANSEN’ ABSTRACT: Conjurors have written books on the paranormal since the 1500s. A number of these books are listed and briefly discussed herein, including those of both skeptics and proponents. Lists of magicians on both sides of the psi controversy are provided. Although many people perceive conjurors to be skeptics and debunkers, some of the most prominent magicians in history have endorsed the reality of psychic phenomena. The reader is warned that conjurors’ public statements asserting the reality of psi are sometimes difficult to eval- uate. Some mentalists publicly claim psychic abilities but privately admit that they do not believe in them; others privately acknowledge their own psychic experiences. Thme current books are fully reviewed: EntraSensory Deception by Henry Gordon (1987), Forbidden Knowledge by Bob Couttie (1988), and Secrets of the Supernatural by Joe Nickel1 (with Fischer, 1988). The books by Gordon and Couttie contain serious errors and are of little value, but the work by Nickel1 is a worthwhile contribution, though only partially concerned with psi. Magicians have been involved with paranormal controversies for cen- turies, and their participation has been far more complex and multifaceted than the usual stereotype of magicians as skeptical debunkers. In this paper, I review three fairly recent skeptical books by magicians, but before these are discussed, some remarks are in order concerning conjurors’ in- volvement with psi and psi research because there has been little useful discussion of the topic in the parapsychology literature.’ It is important to understand this background because several magicians have had an impact on scientists’ and the general public’s perception of psychical research, and some have played a major role in the modem-day skeptical movement (Hansen, 1992).

  • Three Aboriginal Responses to New Age Religion: a Textual ' Interpretation

    Three Aboriginal Responses to New Age Religion: a Textual ' Interpretation

    Volume 14, Number 1 65 THREE ABORIGINAL RESPONSES TO NEW AGE RELIGION: A TEXTUAL ' INTERPRETATION David Pecotic University of Sydney Contemporary students of indigenous religions begin their inquiries by deconstructing misrepresentations about the people they wish to study empirically. Such scholars simultaneously dismiss the New Age as hegemonic and intrusive or destructive of native traditions. The relationship of indigenous peoples toward the New Age, in this case Australian Aboriginal religionists, is ambiguous by comparison. It is the task of this article to examine the continuum of relationships between New Age religion and Aboriginal religions, and to make clearer some of the reasons for this ambiguity. 1. Methodological considerations The approach taken in this paper to the examination of the possible relationships between Aboriginal religions and New Age religion takes its cue from the importance of New Age texts to past successful research concerning New Age religion (Hanegraaff, 1996; Heelas, 1996). However, the texts chosen are instead sourced in different kinds of indigenous self-understanding about New Age religion: The Rock. Travelling to Uluru (Hill, 1994); Yorro Yorro. Aboriginal Creation and the Renewal ofNature: Rock Paintings and Stories from the Australian Kimberleys (Mowaljarlai & Malnic, 1993); Messengers of the Gods. Tribal Elders Reveal the Ancient Wisdom ofthe Earth (Cowan 1993); 'Australian Aboriginal Tradition' (Mafi-Williams, 1999); Dreamkeepers. A Spirit-Journey intoAborigilialAustralia (Arden, 1994). In all cases, the texts are explicitly dialogical, written as a response to perceived non-indigenous beliefs. Both New Age religion and Aboriginal religions should be treated as ernie designations and for both the etic is ultimately what research should elucidate (Harris, 1979, especially 51-53).

  • Magic in the Moonlight

    Magic in the Moonlight

    Magic in the Moonlight Presentation from Wikipedia by Peter Anderson Magic in the Moonlight is a 2014 American romantic comedy film written and directed by Woody Allen. The film stars Colin Firth, Emma Stone, Hamish Linklater, Marcia Gay Harden, Jacki Weaver, Erica Leerhsen, Eileen Atkins, and Simon McBurney. Set in the 1920s on the French Riviera, the film was released on July 25, 2014, by Sony Pictures Classics. Magic in the Moonlight received a generally mixed reception. Critics praised the performances of Firth and Stone, but criticized the clichéd scriptwriting. Critical response Magic in the Moonlight has received mixed reviews from critics. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has a rating of 50%, based on 151 reviews, with an average rating of 5.8/10. The site's consensus states: "While far from a failure, Magic in the Moonlight is too slight to stand with Woody Allen's finest work." Review aggregator Metacritic assigns the film a score of 54 out of 100, based on 40 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews". Rex Reed, writing for The New York Observer , gave the film a largely positive review, calling it "a masterstroke of enchantment" and praising Colin Firth's acting. Jordan Hoffman of Film.com also enjoyed the film, stating, "This picture isn’t as showy or obvious as one of his (many) masterpieces, but it is quite good and deserves your time and respect." In The New Yorker , David Denby agreed that Colin Firth "carries [the film] through." (to carry sth through: sostenere e salvare) . He added that one scene is reminiscent of To Catch a Thief .

Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea. Psalm 46 1 - The Sleeping Wonder It was like any other day for Edgar Cayce. He went to sleep, by merely lying down and closing his eyes, and then he started to talk in his sleep.
