Granite Noir: The Century of Deception
As we grapple today with fake news and digital tricks, we look back and remember we’ve always been vulnerable and manipulation has been with us for many years. In The Century of Deception, magician and historian Ian Keable tells the engrossing stories of these eighteenth-century hoaxes and those who were duped by them. Public hoodwinks including swallowing whole tales of rapping ghosts, a woman who gave birth to rabbits, a levitating Frenchman in a Chinese Temple and outrageous astrological predictions.
