- Crowley attends a Tea-Talk discussion on Black Magic held at the Mayfair Hotel, London. Other attendees included Dr. Alexander Cannon and Rollo Ahmed. Ahmed claimed that he could give a demonstration of Black Magic. He conferred with Crowley about giving a joint demonstration on the spot, but they concluded that conditions were "inadequate," and perhaps they would give a demonstration at some time in the future.
