[edit] POV
I reverted the edits to this article made by an anonymous contributor (65.12.112.62), who deliberately removed accurate information and substituted false claims that no one could ever demonstrate or describe in detail how the Davenport Brothers performed their feats. This is the only article this contributor has edited. The fact remains that the Davenports, and/or others on their behalf, claimed to exercise supernatural powers, instead of being ordinary illusionists. This aroused the ire of professional illusionists, who exposed them time and again. The impresario P.T. Barnum, who had no use for spiritualism, also published a detailed exposé of the Davenports, which I have read (I also added the Barnum reference). Edeans 08:50, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

I think that the link goes to the right name, but wrong person. 16:44, 3 May 2008 (UTC) Stan
