Coast To Coast AM - 30.3.2011 - 1/12 - Magic & Howard Thurston / Mentalism & Swami Panchadasi

Magic & Howard Thurston:

In the first half of Wednesday's show, historian of stage magic Jim Steinmeyer talked about Howard Thurston, who back in the early decades of the 1900s, produced ambitious magic spectacles. Like Houdini, he was a popular vaudeville performer, but he eventually toured with his own magic show, incorporating tricks he learned in Europe and India.

Thurston was a fantastic showman and created elaborate illusions such as a spirit cabinet that was rigged to float above the audience, the levitation of a princess, and the disappearance of a horse. He was one of the first magicians to present the illusion of sawing a woman in half, Steinmeyer detailed. While his contemporary and rival, Houdini, is better remembered today (he had a publicist after he died), during his era, Thurston was known as 'The Greatest Magician in the World.' Steinmeyer also discussed other celebrated magicians of the past, such as Harry Blackstone.

Mentalism & Swami Panchadasi:

In the latter half of the show, expert in psychic powers and mentalism, Clint Marsh, discussed the various ways people reach into the unknown including crystal gazing, as well as his involvement as the editor of Swami Panchadasi's Clairvoyance and Occult Powers, a new edition of a lost classic of mental development. The tome, which first came out in 1916, introduced ideas that were later popularized in books like The Power of Positive Thinking and The Secret, he noted.

Interestingly, Marsh revealed that Swami Panchadasi was actually a pseudonym used by the prolific author and occultist William Walker Atkinson, who wrote books under the name of Swami Bhakta Vishita, as well. Marsh also talked about his own studies, documented in The Mentalist's Handbook, which includes techniques in using psychometry (holding an object of unknown history and making insights about its past), and astral travel to the afterlife.

[trnjana]

@TheMass33 I wrote in Serbian since Serbian is endangered language but there are people who understand.Translation goes => does that means that we have to move into the shelters in order to try to survive nuclear attacks?10 trillions of our money went into the criminals legal by law pockets.We had minimum wage of like 10 gallons of gas per hour and now we have like 2,5 gallons of gas per hour.So they undervalued our working values so they can enjoy life while ordinary people suffer.

[Mucky1little2me3]

LOL 160 nukes planted in US, what utter, total complete drivel!

The only thing that is interesting is that the FBI released the details as if it were somehow credible - talk about false flags!

I mean lets not ask how they came by 160 nukes (Countries such as N Korea and Iran can't even get them) but how did they get them in the US?

Not to mention how did they plant them without anyone's knowledge and why the fuck you would let the FBI know they were there?

Totally cretinous.

@trnjana I wish I can understand what you wrote. But Paul Williams knows nothing. If We Americans get attacked it will be from the Inside. People in Black budget programs. Want to know where 10 trillions of our money went? Secret Space Program since the 40's. Paying Black Operation units to go and kill anyone who is in our way of oil that is not needed and that does not belong to us. Guarding Opium Fields. People start spreading this. Obama I voted for you. You let me down BIG TIME!

[TheMass33]

such bullshit, aint noone hitting us up like that. This is a scare tactic by the CIA and Military to get everyone scared to agree with Obama's unconstitutional methods. So we can get people to say " Yes, Lets support a 3rd war." We are broke . We dont need anymore wars, nor sticking our noses in peoples business. Bin Laden is dead. They killed his ass in Bush's second term. Al-Qaeda is so fake. We Americans are tired of BS.. look up the lady the CIA had killed for the telling the truth.
