DR. JOSEPH JASIN

DR. JOSEPH JASIN
, Mediumologist
To any program committee which is in search of an attraction that is genuinely
different,
this circular comes as a messenger of good tidings.
No contemporary lecturer or entertainer has appealed to such an infinite variety of audiences as has Dr. Joseph Jasin, master mediumologist. Either as an educator or as an entertainer he has few living equals in his fascinating specialty. As a combination of the two he stands absolutely alone.
A Howling Hit.

Ft. Worth Telegram
So unique is the character of his work and so flexible his method of presentation that he has appeared with equal success before theatre audiences, churches, synagogues, lodges, men's clubs, women's societies, college classes, trades and professional associations, scientific groups, banqueters, children's gatherings, magicians' conclaves, home circles, newspaper staffs, etc. Invariably his audiences are delighted beyond expectation, and usually they detain him far past the allotted time.
A New Revelation.

Cincinnati University
It is difficult to describe or to classify his programs. He is a scholarly lecturer, spiritual crusader, humorist, magician, psychic and vaudeville artist all in one. In a lifetime of intensive research he has learned all of the tricks-of-the-trade so zealously guarded by the psychic fraternity. He could, according to competent critics, have become one of the world's great mediums; but, instead, he takes his hearers into his confidence and unfolds before them the truth about
psychic phenomena.
And great is their astonishment thereat!

L. A. Breakfast Club
Supplementing his witty verbal explanations, he demonstrates his knowledge by actually reproducing many miracles from the repertoire of the world's leading mediums. His devastating revelations, while conveying a sorely needed message, are everywhere creating amazement and amusement, as evidenced by the following brief quotations from a voluminous mass of uniformly favorable criticisms.

Fort Worth (Tex.) Record.
Strange and amazing happenings took place at a private seance in the full glare of electric lights under the direction of Dr. Joseph Jasin, the miracle man.—

B. P. O. Elks No. 99, Los Angeles (Calif.)
Crowds taxed the capacity of the church and scores looked in from the outside… A startling expose. So interesting and instructive that it was unanimously voted to arrange for his appearance in one of Hollywood's largest theaters.—
Pasadena (Calif) Post.
MYSTIFIED THE MAGICIANS
One of the most instructive and interesting meetings ever held by the Los Angeles Society of Magicians… Your demonstrations went over big.

That the stunts of the spiritualists and ghost materializers can be duplicated successfully was shown by Dr. Joseph Jasin to a crowded theatre audience.—
Los Angeles (Calif.) Jewish Review.

A NOTED MAGICIAN'S OPINION
Houdini lectured in Cleveland and I can frankly say that his demonstration did not come up to yours by a long shot.

Recent Triumphs of DR. JOSEPH JASIN, Mediumologist
City Club Open Forum
Los Angeles, California, July 10, 1928.
Dear Doctor:
Your exhibition of
counterfeit miracles,
staged last night before the Open Forum of the Los Angeles City Club, filled our main dining room with the largest dinner audience we have ever had at one of the Open Forum meetings.
The interest in all of your demonstrations was intense, attention was concentrated and your work was thrilling. Your mind reading and levitation stunts are still mystifying those who were present last night.
On behalf of the Open Forum and the Los Angeles City Club I wish to thank you most sincerely for your entertainment, which did not count a dull moment for two hours and one-half. I wish you tremendous success and do hope that we will again have the opportunity to witness your skill at some future date.
With very best wishes, I am
Cordially yours,
LEW HEAD
,
President.
St. Mark's Episcopal Church
Pasadena, California, July 6, 1928.
My Dear Doctor Jasin:
I wish to express my appreciation of the address you gave before my Men's Club recently, demonstrating and exposing spiritualism and psychic phenomena. In the first place, as an entertainment it was one of the most interesting we have ever had at the Club. But even more than that, it was powerful in the sermon it taught, to avoid sham and deceit in all matters pertaining to religion. It is a combination of a sermon, lecture, and entertainment, and I can heartily commend it to any group fortunate enough to hear you.
Wishing you success in your fine work, I am
Sincerely yours,
STEPHEN C. CLARK, JR.
,
Rector.
