As a regular visitor and contributor to this forum and certain others I wonder what knowledge members feel they have about Spiritualism when they write what they do. (this is the Spiritualism forum by the way)

Do any of you know what a medium is? Please share what you believe...

I know what an illusionist is - it's someone who creates illusion. It doesn't cause me to believe anything because I know it's an illusion, a stunt, a trick. I don't know how it's carried out but I don't believe the illusion is real just because I don't know how it's done....

Harry Houdini was a brilliant escapologist, performer, stunt artist, magician but he didn't spend years debunking mediums - he may have spent time debunking fraudsters masquerading as mediums but that's not the same.

Or did you think it is?
