Elvis, are you there? Tap twice for yes and once for no.

In the Victorian era spiritualism was very popular. There was a lot of table tapping, cheesecloth ectoplasm (a woman who held seances was caught swallowing cheesecloth to produce "ectoplasm") and card and palm reading. This reproduction of a real guide to world of the occult Victorian style is a snooze. 

This book includes instructions on the art of palm reading, dream interpretation, how to tell a persons character from the way their face is structured to analyzing ones handwriting. 

I was expecting this old timey novelty to be fun, but I didn't have fun reading it.
