Although _himself an master of the art of megic, this edu- cator with a penchant for mystery nave performs in publei, but for the enter- tainment of personal friends he fre- quently reveals some of the talents from the Magic Palace of Legerdemain. Dur ing his younger 2nd more inexperiencer days of his studies, Dr. Evans pe accomnlishee Burrowing back into the his he art, Dr. Evans was determined to atch the veneer and learn the psy- chology of the thing. This he h: cesded In doing and his wri‘in: {are accepted es authoritative on this phase of the subject. He is vigorously oppesed to all “bogus mediumship.” In an interview with a reporter for The Star, Dr. Evans had something pertinent to say on this phase of spirit ualism over which there is such wide- pread discussion in sclentific circles Holds Many Mediums Frands. “I have dcvoted considerable time to investigations of spiritualistic ph2- !nomena,” he said, “and have come to the conclusion that the slate-writing feats and matarializations of modern mediums are fraudulent. But I am convinced there are genuine phenomena of a physical nature, such as telepathy or thought transferance, clairvoyance. | premonitions, etc.. which throw light on the nature of mind or soul, and show that it is possessed of unknown o “Personally I am convinced of the lmm'srmlt' of the sl as the result of my studies” Dr. Evans continued, “I think that scientific socisties, like the English and American Societies | tor.

In.other words, all such investigations should be made | by experts, trained in psychological methods, and thoroughly acquainted | with legerdemain and the resources of | modern magicians.” Dr. Evans is & membsr of the Inter- national Brotherhood of Magicians and has just published another work con- {cerning his favorite side-line entitled “The History of Conjuring and Ma:tc“ and last year his “Adventures "trom the Republicans and Magic” was published.

Recalls Houdini Conversation. | By inducing Houdini to leave his rare volumes on magic and_spiritism to the Library of Conzress, Dr. Evans | performed a teal public service. “I was sitting in the library of his house in New York,” Dr. Evans remi- nisced, “and asked Houdini what he | was going to do with the valuable books that lined the wails, for I reminded him that after his death they would possibly g0 to second-hand booksellers and his vears of efiort in collecting them would be dissipated. He said he had thought of leaving his library to Columbia Uni- vercity, but I said to him, ‘Why don't you leave it to the Library of Congress, where it will have attention from scholars and scientists from all over th~ world who go to Washington to study?’ “Later I saw Houdini.” Dr. Evans con- tinued, “and he told me that he willed his library to the Library Congress.” Dr. Evans has heen on intimate terms with such eminent magicians as Felicien Trewey, Bautier de Kolta, Alexander Herrmann, J. N. Maskelyne, Marius Cazencuve, Chunz Ling Soo, Robert H-ller, Harry Kellar, Charles Bertram, Dr. Elliott. and Harry Houdini.
