Eusapia Palladino (alternate spelling: Paladino; 21 January 1854 – 16 May 1918) was an Italian Spiritualist physical medium.
She claimed to possess extraordinary powers such as the ability to levitate tables, communicate with the dead through her spirit guide John King, and other related supernatural phenomena. She convinced many of her powers, but was caught in deceptive trickery throughout her career.
Magicians including Harry Houdini, and skeptics who evaluated her claims concluded that none of her phenomena were genuine and she was a clever trickster.Her Warsaw séances at the turn of 1893–94 inspired several colorful scenes in the historical novel Pharaoh, which Boleslaw Prus began writing in 1894.
