Features

28 British Voodoo (Cover Story)
Rollo Ahmed practised black magic, taught Dennis Wheatley yoga, helped Aleister Crowley find a flat and wrote a popular history of occultism. Christopher Josiffe explores the life and times of a forgotten figure from the annals of British magic whose journey from British Guyana to England encompassed both exoticism and racism.

36 Dazed and Confused
Robert Bartholomew and Bob Rickard have just published their survey of reports of mass hysteria in schoolchildren. Here, they present a general summary of its scope and a glimpse of two of many sub-topics: sudden outbreaks in war zones and grisi siknis in Nicaragua.

Whatever happened to the Human Fly?
He jumped 27 buses riding a rocket-powered motorcycle, strapped himself to a DC-8 flying over the Mojave Desert, starred in his very own comic book... and then disappeared. Tea Krulos goes in search of "the wildest superhero ever".
