This fascinating book takes us on a journey through the history of Indian magic, exploring the origins of popular tricks like the rope trick and Indian cups and ball. From ancient times, Indian magicians were known for their mystical powers, not just their entertainment skills. We learn about the early use of charms and talismans, and even the existence of Indian fortune tellers during the Roman Empire. The book also contrasts the style of Indian magic in comparison to other Asian cultures, as well as their counterparts in Europe.

From black sorcerers' client-based practices in the antebellum South to the postmodern revival of hoodoo and its tandem spiritual supply stores, the supernatural has long been a key component of the African American experience. What began as a mixture of African, European, and Native American influences within slave communities finds expression today in a multimillion dollar business. In Conjure in African American Society, Jeffrey E. Anderson unfolds a fascinating story as he traces the origins and evolution of conjuring practices across the centuries. Though some may see the study of conjure.
