and draw your hands toward your body,
the outer two table lengths are going to go up like a schoolgirl's dress.
You can even stick the edge of your shoe
under one of the table legs
and, by pressing down firmly with your hands
and lifting your foot at the same time,
you can make the whole table come off the ground.
It just takes a little bit of muscle and a whole lot of practice.
So, with the right partner in crime,
you can put on quite a show.
The setting is important. Keep it dark,
always, under any pretext whatsoever.
The spirits demand it, you need to concentrate--
I know what you are thinking. It's not scientific.
But you need darkness to develop a photograph, don't you?
Miss Owen?
So are you saying that all paranormal phenomena
are frauds without any exception?
Actually, no, I'm not.
The majority simply have a natural explanation
or are the result of subjective interpretation.
But how do you establish proper controls?
It's not difficult.
In a case like this one, without any special preparation,
we would sit the medium against the wall
and place two cards behind his elbows.
Then if he moves his arms to shift the table,
the cards will fall.
If the cards remain in place,
only the spirit of a very friendly stagehand is gonna be moving that table.
That's the principle.
