- Description
- This book allowed the reader to create optical illusions of ghostly figures, a common feature of 19th century magic acts. The book came with a scientific explanation of the afterimage effect that it uses to create optical illusions. The author hoped it would help combat superstitious beliefs that such apparitions were genuine ghosts.
