| Summary | "Spirit Slate Writing and Kindred Phenomena" by William E. Robinson is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. The work explores the various methods and tricks utilized by mediums in spiritualistic séances, particularly focusing on slate writing tests that are often misattributed to supernatural abilities. The author, who has a background in magic and illusion, aims to expose the fraudulent tactics employed by these mediums to deceive their audiences. The opening of the text presents the author's preface, where he shares his partial upbringing in beliefs surrounding spiritualism but highlights his intention to demystify the tricks used in the practice. He emphasizes that while he respects the sincere beliefs of spiritualists, it is essential to understand the psychological and mechanical methods used to create the illusion of communication with the dead. Ranging from the use of cleverly designed slates to various deceptive writing techniques, the beginning of the book sets the stage for a detailed examination of the artifice behind spirit communication.
