"The following sheets contain a history of magic, sorcery, witchcraft, apparitions, and spectres. We think it requisite to give the reader a brief account of the nature and usefulness of our design in the first place; and having represented the design and usefulness of this treatise, we shall in the next place offer something to confirm the belief and credit of histories so well attested. We first lay down the method we have taken in this history: we give the reader a compendious account of the origin and rise of the art of magic and witchcraft, as an introduction the following history that He might have at once in View, a general Notion of the diabolical arts practiced by such wretched persons, and the manner how they make their abominable contracts with the devil, and bring wicked spirits under their command, to put their ill designs in practice; from whence we proceed to given an historical account of the mischievous proceedings and actions of those instruments of the devil, magicians and witches, and what untimely and disgraceful ends such wicked practices have brought such persons to at the last. As for the usefulness of this treatise, the histories contained in it, being collected from the best authors who have wrote upon those subject, they not only serve to put us in mind of the delusions of Satan, but also, they may put us in mind to arm ourselves against the temptations of the devil"--Book.

Katharina Rein's award-winning dissertation in cultural studies is devoted to stage magic in the period from 1860 to 1910 characterized by scientific and technical innovation as well as by a flourishing media culture, the upheavals of industrialization, and the experiences of globalization and colonialism. Modern stage magic does not claim any supernatural effect, but rather presents technically generated illusions, whose modes of operation, however, it conceals. It thus represents a specific form of media use that excessively exhibits media effects while making the technical events behind them disappear. The analysis of four paradigmatic large-scale illusions (»Pepper's Ghost«, »The Vanishing Lady«, levitation and telepathy illusions) opens up glimpses into the hitherto largely unwritten history of magic in the late 19th century. At the same time, this opens up the view of drastic cultural changes and innovations that found their way into this modern, highly technical form of magic. A color picture section and an index of persons and keywords complete the volume.
