Steve,

"If you have not seen it, there is a very similar story in Lane's 
MANNERS AND CUSTOMS OF THE MODERN EGYPTIANS which was published 
before the TS was formed. So this demonstration has been performed 
by Egyptian maicians for some time. Blavatsky of course studied n 
Egypt."

So in light of what you write above, does that mean that you believe 
HPB was acting as a charlatan in the pillow incident by "palming" 
this letter off somehow on Sinnett? In other words, she "faked" a 
phenomenon?
