Starting today, we offer here excerpts from the biography in the listed topics that may be of interest for several reasons.
The following paragraphs pertain to Chapter 19, "The trickster," which raised the reasons for the controversy which had always aroused mentalism shows and analyzed in depth, as an example, show that the teacher Fassmer presented in theaters.
"From the first show called" psychics "that arose in the late nineteenth century, the controversy has always had a professional guild. For Fassmer, came to collect a virulence so disproportionate that leads to suspect hidden motives. Throughout his professional life, it rained Fassmer attacks from three fronts: the Church, the skeptics and magicians. On the hostility of the Church are, among other evidencvias, anecdotes that Fassmer same villages that had no one attending the show for having allowed the pastor. In an interview reported in a previous chapter, Ferran Monegal leaves his own testimony in this regard, "I remember my grandfather," says Monegal, "telling me years ago a disturbing and mysterious character who roamed the villages of the Costa Brava to amaze pious families with their mental power and hypnotic powers, while the blessed priests were locked in their vaults, frightened by this demonic explosion of human beings. This character, "he told me my grandfather was called Fassmer. [1]
Seventeen years after death, yet you keep coming to Fassmer detractors who try to prove that there was more than a trickster. This effort, almost obsessive and enduring so incomprehensibly, is in itself a curious phenomenon worth exploring in depth. The skeptics will take care to speak of the second stage Fassmer professional. We will analyze the hostility of the magicians trying to find an explanation for the war declared from one side to which he was allegedly the friend should. "

"... the main complaint against the mentalist (was) were announced as paragnostas or provided with mysterious powers, and attempts to present their numbers by real paranormal phenomena. But those ads were actually fraudulent? That is, sticking to the definition of fraud, "untrue with intent to harm people who were targeted?
The illusion shows were also presented with nicknames always more fantastic. Many claim to be magicians and illusionists, therefore, among most people, the illusion is considered synonymous with magic. The magic, however, is an art or an occult science-as-look with which they intend to alter natural laws through rituals or prayers. The illusion not magic because it does not intend to alter anything or is based on the ancient belief in magic. The illusion is a series of techniques by which they are made to believe that natural order is altered by effects that fool the eye of the beholder. Nobody would argue has never happened to this calling him a fraud or deceit. The ads that the illusion is presented as magic and the magician as being wonderful with supernatural powers are legion. Serve sample that we have taken some random copies of the newspaper La Vanguardia of the 30's, in which the names of the most famous illusionists that occurred in Spain in the early twentieth century. "Fu-Manchu. Wonderful and stunning oriental show. Most interestingly, the most beautiful of necromancy. Fu-man-chu, the wizard of Asia. "The" Wizard "of Asia was, in fact, an English magician son of a Dutch illusionist. "Comitre, notable alchemist of Satan and manipulative, making the water spirits to prove they are true." "Li Chang, the yellow demon with his fantastic magic magazine." Li Chang, in fact, Forns Jordan Juan, born in Badalona, was an excellent illusionist known for a number of escapism in which came in seconds of a locked trunk with a chain. "Horace Goldin. The Great Goldin. The world's most remarkable show of magic and mystery. Show, among other wonders: Women through the glass. The rope india. Arabic drilled. The miraculous catch. Symphony lost in space along with the piano and pianist. The living miracle. The woman completely divided by a circular saw. Presented by the ace of the Magi, Horace Goldin, the best magician of all time. "If this type of advertising is acceptable, why then are accused of fraud psychics say they can only capture the thoughts of others and hypnotize people?
hard to understand that to endow his work with an aura of mystery, like the alleged magicians, mentalists were always considered controversial and would see attacked, both by skeptics, for the same illusion. Both sides came to the shows with the intention of exposing the mentalist, and out revealing tricks and proclaiming disappointed. Would you say that the mentalist disappoints by offering their work and their art to entertain the viewer that, ultimately paid to be entertained? Try to find the answer by analyzing the Fassmer show. "

"Fassmer respond to complex questions of calculations in a matter of seconds between him and the average viewer card exchange. There are still witnesses of those numbers. In a review of La Vanguardia in 1952, journalist Z. says: "Many of us Fassmer experiments were known, but no matter, always entertaining, subjugate some of them, the fastest, those whose sin does not slow preparation and phenomena in which memory is involved, where Fassmer convinces us more clarity, speed, correctness of many of their calculations. The teacher gave a reminder of the famous Inaudi. The best thing I remember was that emulated glories in the pure mathematics. " [2]

"In the next issue, called" Reconstruction of a crime, "a viewer must lead Fassmer apparently mentally, to where he had hidden a hammer, a nail and a knife, then a spectator on which he had drawn a cross with chalk, and finally to the center of the cross leading Fassmer hand to put the knife there. "

Professor Fassmer appeared in two different programs of "Life in a xip." In the first, already mentioned, the April 7, 1989, participated in a discussion of parapsychology, sharing a table with Andreas Faber Kaiser, respected researcher of esoteric subjects that always expressed an admiration for the teacher bluntly Fassmer, and Josep Maria Casas Huguet, president of the English Society of Parapsychological Research. It was in this program where the teacher introduced the issue of the "Reconstruction of a crime" and a number of telepathic transmission of images drawn on a blackboard, the same he had done in the "Identities" by Josep Maria Espinás. Some participants, who identified themselves as magicians, accused him of fraud.
In November of that year, the teacher agreed to attend Fassmer a second program of the series, this one devoted to hypnosis. Shared a table with two friends: Dr. Ramón Sarró, renowned psychiatrist who had in their curriculum have been a student of Freud and a professor of psychiatry at the School of Medicine, University of Barcelona for twenty years, and Dr. Luis Linares de Mula , with several PhDs and a wall plastered with license plates office of honor gained in his three races and various specialties. They spoke of hypnosis, of its nature, the various explanations given to the phenomenon, its therapeutic usefulness. In a moment of debate, according to the dynamics of the program, asked Professor Fassmer to do a demonstration. The teacher repeated with five volunteers hypnosis numbers performed on stage and performed a hypnotic regression to a girl. Again, the set was in a group of viewers who said they were magicians. One got up and began by referring to the program that the teacher had made Fassmer telepathy numbers, telling the audience and viewers that the "reconstruction of the crime" was a number that was really excited, it was not just a trick he knew, but could not disclose out of respect for the illusionists who still had. That showed, he said, that was a "fraud and deception." It is inevitable to wonder why this man refused to Professor Fassmer profess respect that his colleagues said. Fassmer Why had those numbers as evidence of thought transference? And that man's colleagues, how they were presented? Will said: "I will present a number of transmission of thought seems, but catch?" Why call it fraud only when the number is done Fassmer? After the usual charges, the rest of the group began attacking hypnosis experiments Fassmer professor had just made, saying that it was staged. The presenter, being questioned his honesty, he asked those who had been hypnotized if they had any prior relationship with the teacher Fassmer. Of the five hypnotized, two women said they were his students. The illusionists clung to the data using as proof that all responded to a previous assembly. Organized an angry discussion between those who attacked and who defended the teacher Fassmer. The teacher watched in silence and without flinching, the gibberish and the presenter's efforts to prove that he had nothing to do. Dr. Linares intervened. He mentioned the success of the teacher Fassmer in his career, recalled how he had left the stage while still in full swing, he testimony of the teacher's knowledge and brilliance with which taught in their courses, some for doctors, including Dr. Linares had himself been a student several times. Recalling that for many years knew Professor Fassmer concluded, resounding "No fraud has made in his life." That I knew that the accuser had been erected since the beginning of the program, as did the young with him. What motivation could lead them to see a TV show to expose a man of eighty years gained a reputation for over sixty years of work? "Envy, resentment, a very low self-esteem, the desperate need to see a minute on television? About the incident, the journalist J. M ª Baget Herms commented in La Vanguardia: "It is clear ... that some attendees at the debate sought to acquire a role that at first seemed reserved exclusively to the teacher Fassmer." [3]
Throughout his artistic stage, Fassmer helped many magicians agreeing to attend one of their duties and assistance as the advertising claims, participating in honors and even acting in the show of magician without charge. Is evidence of this type of collaboration in libraries of all countries he acted. We chose two examples in Barcelona: the first time, to our knowledge, which announced its support to the spectacle of an illusionist, obviously as a ruse, and the last time he performed with an illusionist. On February 10, 1945 an advertisement appears in La Vanguardia: "Cartex, the great illusionist, renew their success in proving Rigat have the sixth sense. In his honor the famous professor Fassmer attend. "Fassmer name in bold type and in characters of the same size as Cartex.
On June 23, 1963 another ad reads: "Teatro Barcelona. Resounding victory in two world figures: Chang and Fassmer. For the first time together in a grand spectacle. " As we in a previous chapter, Fassmer, who had just retired from the stage, paused in their courses and consultations to help his old friend.
In the last program of "Life in a xip," the presenter concluded the discussion back to the table of debate for the last questions to the guests. Professor Fassmer first asked if he had anything to say.
"No, no, gens [4] " said the professor.
anyone could guess his silence what he had said years ago.
-Deixa 'ls to be. Són uns unhappiness. [5]

"If we accept ... telepathy, we must accept, therefore, that Fassmer had the power to capture the emotions and thoughts of other minds developed to an extraordinary degree. The evidence for this assumption is overwhelming. During the seventy-seven years in which José Mir Rocafort powers exhibited in public, taking as a starting point his first exhibition in the cafes at sixteen years, he accumulated a wealth of anecdotes. Some are unprovable and could be attributed to a legend created by effective propaganda, but others can only be challenged on the bad faith and without any foundation. Alfredo Marquez says in the book to which we referred in an earlier chapter:
"The gift of X to read truth, without simulation, without vagueness or prepared in any tricky foreign thought was such that more than one occasion gave him serious trouble, they discovered details that made them concerned not any fun ... "
Later, Marquez concludes emphatically:
" I've met so many pretenders and simulators in the genre cultivated by X, I'll take care of the skepticism of people to not recognize this true telepath a clear exception. But it could continue to count an endless series of cases and aseverarían credited the absolute formality of my statements. "
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
"Seventeen years after his death, there are sites on the Internet where some magicians failed and ill-informed doctors are still trying to prove that Fassmer was a fraud, pointing out the undoubted importance of his name."
