This is a part of 'Mysteries: The Alexander Cannon Tapes'; the strange and wonderful personal audio recordings made in the 1950s by the psychiatrist, occultist and magician, Alexander Cannon (1896–1963).
The collection offers 6 hours of historically important recordings including Cannon’s own thoughts and lectures, events in The Enchanted Hall, demonstrations of the Levitating Egyptian Mummy, The Great Coffin Mystery, Thoughts in the Air and “the great wonder of the Atomic Lights – the shape of things to come.”
These recordings were released by Culture Vannin in 2021.
