Description
Excerpt from Stories in Grey
At the age Of thirty-five he considered his position. He was at that time travelling the country as a hypnotic entertainer, under the name Of Dr sanders-bell. At each Of his entertainments he issued a Ten Thousand Pound Challenge, not having at the time ten thousand pence in the world.
He employed confederates, and he had to pay them. It was not a good business at all. His gains in one town were always being swallowed up by his losses in another. His confederates gave him constant trouble.
But though he turned things over for long in his mind, he could see nothing else to take up. There is no money nowadays for a conjurer without originality, an indifferent musician, or passable actor. His hypnotic entertainment would have been no good in London, but it did earn just enough to keep him going in the provinces.
