Weber, celebrated for his profound understanding of deception and human perception, guides you through a thoughtful examination of dowsing's history, methodology, and its peculiar place in the performer's toolkit. Prepare to challenge your perceptions and broaden your understanding of what's possible, or at least, what can be convincingly presented as such.
Magic's Curious Alliance with the Unseen
Magicians are a paradoxical group, frequently showcasing powers or systems they haven't thoroughly studied or might not personally believe in. Dowsing, the age-old technique of using a divining rod or pendulum to locate water, minerals, or other unseen elements, presents a perfect example of this dynamic. Is the traditional magic wand not itself a power-invested, hand-held stick, mirroring the tools of a dowser? This issue thoughtfully dissects magic's often-conflicted connection with dowsing in its many manifestations, prompting readers to reconsider their own beliefs and performance strategies. You'll gain a deeper appreciation for how such 'paranormal' demonstrations can be artfully presented, merging entertainment with the enigmatic.
Practical Insights and Profound Demonstrations
Beyond theoretical discussions, this issue of 'The Journal of Psience' doesn't just ponder; it provides. Michael Weber generously shares two distinct demonstrations of dowsing in action, offering invaluable insights for anyone looking to incorporate elements of the uncanny into their act, or simply to understand the mechanics behind such phenomena. These aren't just tricks; they're thoughtfully constructed approaches designed to guide you toward a better understanding of perception, misdirection, and the subtle influences that can be simulated or genuinely felt. Whether you're seeking to enhance your mystery repertoire or simply searching for a fresh perspective on human intuition, these approaches are sure to illuminate your path and help you 'guide you towards the things you seek.'

In Search of Dowsing
Magicians, mentalists and mystery performers are a funny lot, often quick to adopt and demonstrate a power, practice or system which they have neither studied nor believe. Take, for example, dowsing: a technique for searching for underground water, minerals, or anything invisible, by observing and feeling the motion of a hand-held pointer (traditionally a forked stick or paired bent wires) or the changes in direction of a pendulum, proportedly in response to unseen influences.
Is not the magic wand a hand-held, power-invested stick?
In this issue of The journal, we consider magic's conflicted relationship with dowsing in its varied forms and offer two demonstrations of the practice. We sincerely hope these approaches help guide you towards the things you seek.
