Flammarion, C., Carroll, L, - Death and its mystery: before death
Dr. Lee reports a game of cards between the celebrated Robert Houdini and Alexis, and added the following:
Houdini drew a book from his pocket and asked Alexis to read a line in a special spot eight pages further on. The clairvoyant stuck a pin in to mark the line and read four words that were found on the corresponding line on the ninth succeeding page.
Houdini declared that this was astounding and the next day signed this declaration:
“I cannot refuse to affirm that the facts related here are scrupulously exact; the more I have reflected, the more I have found it impossible to class them among the tricks which are the objects of my art.”
