Surgical operations can be performed on the subject while in this state, but his mental faculties are not properly under the control of the operator. In the third degree all the faculties become responsive to the mesmeric influence of the operator. The subject is, for the time being, almost or quite an irresponsible being. He sees, hears, feels, and thinks only as directed or permitted by the mesmeric operator. In the last, or Somnomistic degree, all previously mentioned phenomena may be exhibited, and in addition to them, psycho-vision or clairvoyance. WhAT DR. COATKS SAYS. Dr. Coates, in his work, classes the mesmeric stages into six degrees. He says: "All phases may be developed in one subject; some may pass rapidly in the fifth or sixth stage without apparently having passed through the others. Some subjects seem to have a natural fitness for one class and not another. Those adapted for the higher phases of thought transference, or sympathetic thought reading, would be injured (that is, their powers obscured) were they placed on the public platform; while chose most suited for public entertainments seldom or ever are fitted for the exhibition of the higher stages of the fourth degree, and certainly never for the fifth and sixth.

Baldwin was born in Cincinnati, Ohio.
He became interested in magic whilst watching the Davenport brothers perform séances. He began to duplicate the tricks of fraudulent mediums such as Anna Eva Fay. He was one of the first magicians to have practiced a stage escape from handcuffs.
He was the first to take the "question and answer" mentalism act to the stage.
Baldwin exposed the tricks of fraudulent mediums and claimed to have learned the tricks of the fakirs of India. He made it by combining the names of Samri Baldwin and another magician, Wiljalba Frikell.
