Famed "Magician" Dead
Mr. Stuart Cumberland, the thought-reading magician, and the cause of untold bewilderment and delight during many years as a public entertainer, has died in St. George's Hospital.
He was a pioneer in the sphere of what he called thought-reading and thought-transference, but whatever its real nature, he had a remarkable gift of divination, and his demonstrations were startling.
Mr. Cumberland wrote many articles and letters in the "Daily Express" and "Sunday Express" criticising the beliefs of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and other followers of Spiritualism.
