Crucifixtion? Did it REALLY happen?



We have been asked so many times about the 'crucifixion' of Chami Khan at a magic gettogether in the 1950's. Did this really happen?Yes, it did! We have a complete collection of these photos but this one stood out...Chami's hands and feet were actually nailed to the cross and through concentration he was able to successfully control the flow of blood to these areas. It was quite a startling act - especially for this time period. Many spectators left in awe - some disgusted - some sick to their stomach...but leave it to the master showman, Percy Abbott, who pulled this off and made headlines across the country. More about this unique individual in our upcoming book, "Percy Abbott: Magical Years".
