In "A magician among the spirits," Houdini stressed the importance of Ira Erastus Davenport (1839-1911) and his brother William Henry Davenport (1841-1877) in the history of mediumistic manifestations. With them, Houdini stated, these occurrences "became complicated exhibitions involving the use of a cabinet, rope tricks, bells, and various horns and musical instruments."
