Davenport que cambiaría su vida, ya que descubrió un truco de unos espiritistas y más tarde con la ayuda de su socio George Cooke lo repetiría, pero sin la ayuda de ningún espíritu, en espectáculo que originó una gira por todo Inglaterra. En 1873 organizaron una temporada en Londres, que más tarde, y debido al éxito que tuvieron, se alargó tanto que debieron alquilar el teatro Egyptian Hall por una temporada entera con el seudónimo de "Hogar del Misterio". Actuaron allí hasta la demolición del edificio, en 1904. A partir de ahí, Maskelyne obtuvo otro teatro, que remodeló y acondicionó para que continuase brindando funciones de magia hasta 1917, aunque él ya no esté. Maskelyne fue reconocido y admirado por reyes y aficionados a la magia de todos lados. Su magia era teatral, presentaba un drama o comedia y durante la obra iban ocurriendo actos de magia. Realizó levitaciones, creó autómatas, entre ellos uno famoso que se llamaba "Psico" y diversos accesorios de magia que patentó. En 1905 se asoció con el mejor mago inglés de la época: David Devant, quien lo ayudó a modernizar el teatro y mejorar sus shows, la sociedad duró 10 años.

Jusqu'à la publication du Nautical Almanach cependant, les marins n'avaient aucun moyen de connaître à quelle distance Est ou Ouest ils se trouvaient de chez eux. Un marin tel que Christophe Colomb, même s'il professait être expert en navigation astronomique, comptait beaucoup plus sur sa connaissance personnelle de la mer, l'aspect de la houle, le degré de salinité de l'eau, la présence d'épaves ou de restes humains flottants et la nature d'échantillons prélevés en surface toutes choses qui l'aidaient à deviner l'approche de la côte. page d'accueil

Donald Fernie In the early 1700s, European monarchies aspired to power by building world-spanning networks of colonies and commercial ventures.
