Review
Robin Foy is one of today's outstanding characters in the Spiritualist movement and his book illustrates well his pioneering efforts towards different types of mediumship over many years. His personal account of his life and of the many astonishing phenomena he has both helped to initiate and himself witnessed make fascinating reading. Professor Emeritus Arthur J. Ellison DSc(England). FIMechE. FIEE. SenMemIEEE. Physical phenomena could lead us to rethink some of the most cherished laws of science. If this happens history will rank Robin Foy alongside Lodge, Crookes, Conan Doyle and the other great investigators of the past. Professor David G.J. Fontana The Current President. The Society for Physical Research
Product Description
Based on twenty-two years of research, this compelling and revelationary book contains spectacular eye-witness accounts of seance phenomena and dramatic communications from several famous people, notably Sir Winston Churchill, from the spirit world.The author's quest began in 1973 when, out of curiosity, he joined a circle in the home of a local businessman and had his first experience of physical phenomena. A year later, he emerged elatedly from his first sitting with the medium Leslie Flint, ready to commit himself totally to the pursuit of the elusive physical phenomena of spiritualism. This book charts his progress through several home circles, the formation of the Institute of Spiritualist Mediums Link, the founding of the Noah's Ark Society and the New Spiritual Science Foundation, to his present involvement in the Scole Experimental Group, which is currently developing and demonstrating amazing physical phenomena on a regular and sustained basis."In Pursuit of Physical Mediumship" is the definitive work on the subject today. It will give all those keen to know more about spiritualism further insight and understanding while, at the same time, providing encouragement and detailed information to those already working at developing physical phenomena themselves.

This is a facinating introduction concerning one man's search into ectoplasmic phenomena..direct voice;materilizations;trance phenomena..in other words everything which occurs in the physical dimension which has been initiated from the Spirit World. Robin Foy has sought to discover if there are any mediums,psychics etc who can produce the necessary proof to the cynical population that psychic phenomena..life after death and so on really is the case..proof is so hard to achieve in this line since it appears that the great materilization mediums of the past century are a thing of the past with very few people exhibiting their alleged talents...but Foy managed to discover a few..the prime example being the late Leslie Flint,Direct Voice medium, who was perhaps the most well known exponent of the art. This is a very readable book and wheteher you are sceptical or otherwise a fascinating exploration into physical phenomena in the spiritulaistic field.Highly recommended.
Format:Paperback
Not an especially good book on physical mediumship the jury's still out on Robin Foy and his physical phenomena so the book's biased to say the least.
'This happened, gosh wasn't that good?' Well not especially really.
Tom Harrison's the chap if you want something believable on the physical phenomena front.

I really enjoyed reading Mr. Foy's account of his long standing interest in physical mediumship and both the challenges and joys that this work has brought him. It does actually take quite a lot of courage to stand by this kind of activity now and I applaud what I believe to be a sincere and honest account.
I note one reviewer who questions why so many circles broke up, my experience of these things is that circles are only productive whilst members are 'in harmony' and that harmony can be easily affected by personal circumstances; members leaving or joining or sometimes jealousy when one person starts to develop ability, sad but true. I would certainly not infer from this that there was any question as to Mr. Foy's integrity. It should also be remembered that people come to circles for different reasons; some seeking mediumship may then develop and move on to form circles of their own, others who may be seeking help after bereavement may no longer feel the need once they have the evidence they have sought and there are also thrill seekers who inevitably give up when they get bored of waiting. It has to be said that this kind of thing also attracts some very unstable people too who are not always weeded out of these things as they should be.
I do however find myself recoiling when towards the end of the book a character called Lincoln turns up, he is better know now as Colin Fry. I make no comment on Mr. Fry's ability or not as a medium (although he appears to have long since left physical mediumship for the lucrative world of the stage and tv psychic circuit) but as a corollary to this story questions were raised as to the genuine nature of Lincoln's involvement which to date have not been satisfactorily resolved. Again this is no reflection on Mr. Foy but should act as a reminder to be vigilant.
