Charles G. Leland

Gypsy Sorcery and Fortune Telling

Gypsy Sorcery and Fortune Telling discusses spells, incantations and talismans used within Roma culture, as well as the more practical magic they use in their interaction with the Gorgios--the non-Gypsies. It is this latter topic which provides some of the most interesting and instructional reading. Leland gives some generalized methods of fortune-telling which any prospective psychic would do well to study; as well as the details of the 'Great Secret', a magic trick in which all of your money disappears.
