Légende

The Mysterious Lady, at the Egyptian Hall, 1845. The Mysterious Lady would sit with her back to the audience, and when dice were thrown by volunteers she could say what number was on them without any possible way of seeing them. She was also able to repeat words which were whispered far away from her with accuracy. Queen Victoria once saw her perform.
