Asports

The reverse of apport phenomenathe disappearance of objects from the séance room through the barriers of intervening matter and their appearance at another spot. It is seldom attempted as an independent demonstration and may more often form part of an apport materialization, as in the Millesimo séances with the Marquis Centurione Scotto and Mme. Fabian Rossi.

In a sitting on July 8, 1928, the members of the circle were tapped by a little parchment drum and Rossi and Mme. la Marquise Luisa felt their hands squeezed by two iron mittens. At the conclusion of the sittings, these objects were no longer in the room. The drum was found in the large salon where it previously stood, while the mittens were discovered at the foot of the suit of armor from which they had previously been detached.
