Psychic "Thought Photography" On Display At University of Maryland Gallery

Ted Serios, a Chicago bellhop who claimed he could produced images of his "thoughts" on film, enjoyed brief notoriety in the late 1960's courtesy of his patron Jule Eisenbud. Eisenbud, a professor of psychiatry at the University of Colorado Medical School, published a book about Serios entitled The World of Ted Serios: Thoughtographic" Studies of an Extraordinary Mind in 1967.

Serios was never caught cheating but an investigation by Charlie Reynolds and David Eisendrath, both amateur magicians and professional photographers, exposed how the trick was most likely done. Not surprisingly after Reynolds and Eisendrath published their report in the October 1967 issue of Popular Photography Serios's psychokinetic powers began to fade. (Another exposé of Serios can be read here.)

An segment from an episode of Arthur C. Clarke's TV show World of Strange Powers profiled the Serios phenomena (including a demonstration by Reynolds and Eisendrath on how the the photographs were probably produced). It can be viewed here:

Serios is mostly forgotten today but a selection of the pictures he produced with Eisenbud are currently on display through March 27 at the Albin O. Kuhn Library and Gallery at the University of Maryland-Baltimore County. There's even a lecture (video here) accompanying the exhibit. The exhibit was reviewed in (of all places) The Chronicle of Higher Education. The review can be read here (don't miss the comments where Randi is mentioned).

Only one question I have regarding Serios' exposé: If the two accomplished magicians caught him "cheating", how did they explain the pictures that were taken of non-existent buildings?

In one case Serios produced an image about some building on which there was a caption which said "Royal Canadian" something. On the picture, it changed to "Royal Canadain" something. So how could he obtained a photo of a misspelled caption when in reality the word is spelled right?

In another case, Serios showed an image about a "chimera building" where he "merged" two existing buildings together, creating a new one. That building also does not exist.

So even if he cheated with prepared pictures about whatever subject he had to show... how could he have obtained pictures about nonexistent buildings?

This is the only part that bothers me about this case.
