A Visit with Black Herman

Black Herman, born Benjamin Rucker, was a famous African-American stage magician, herbalist, root doctor, and publisher from the 1910s until his death on stage in 1934. As a nationally renowned illusionist, the Great King of Mysteries, he regularly toured the segregated Black communities of the American South, bringing enjoyment to young and old alike. Meanwhile, back in New York City, he and his wife Eva Rucker operated Black Herman's Herb Garden from the top floor of their Moorish-themed home in Harlem. Both in his magazine, "The Spokesman," and in his classic book, "Secrets of Magic-Mystery & Legerdemain: The Missing Key to Success, Health and Happiness."Black Herman taught his clients and students practical conjure, herbal medicine, and herb magic -- and favoured the use of Chinese Wash to remove crossed conditions. In this special presentation, actor Stephen Dupree brings us "A Visit with Black Herman," which will reveal down-home techniques of hoodoo and at the same time allow Ben Rucker to tell his own story about what it was like to be a celebrity stage magician of wealth and high esteem during the heyday of the Harlem Renaissance.

Papa Gee: The Stranger in the Cup: How to Read Your Luck and Fate in the Tea Leaves

Tasseomancy or Tea Leaf Reading is probably as old as the invention of drinking cups. Some claim it originated in China, but it seems to have been native to Scotland, Ireland, and England before trade with China developed, and came to America with the earliest settlers. Learn how to select a cup, how to choose and brew your tea, and how to give a tasseomantic reading -- with a full dictionary of more than 750 tea leaf images, plus 36 sample cup interiors, showing what symbols the leaves may reveal. Plus, you will learn the history of tea, the history of tea-leaf reading, the history of the special tea cups marked for cartomancy, numerology, and astrology readings (and how to collect them), as well as the history of the woman-led Tea Room Movement that made tea-leaf reading the preferred fortune-telling method of the Female Suffrage Crusade. Profusely illustrated, beautifully laid out, and deeply descriptive, this is a book to treasure or to share with a special friend.
