On this day in 1839 Ira Davenport was born. Ira was one half of the Davenport Brothers, a magician duo famous for creating the spirit cabinet illusion (when a magician claims to have the power to contact the dead and is tied to a chair in a curtained cubical on the stage and musical instruments supposedly play themselves, candlesticks float above the curtains and balls are thrown high into the air, that sort of thing). They were exposed as nothing more than illusionists (not that that isn't a good thing) by a number of sources including one P.T. Barnum.
(Seriously, I wonder if the times Barnum gets mentioned on this blog this week reaches double figures, so far as well as this we've had Gage, Jumbo and this not to mention there is a 'Crypto-cons' blog I wrote earlier this week that Lizzy is proof-reading as we speak).
