Hypnotism.
Dramatic speeches.
The Great Pelham was there with a dramatic speech and "plants," including one negro, who did not help any. Hypnotic acts have such a short time in which to do work that the returns are slow and uncertain. Pelham did an old routine - ordinary and lacking class. Mesmerism as he does it appears too easy.
