<p>Guzyk was born in the village of <a href="R%C4%85czna" title="Rączna">Rączna</a>, near <a href="Krak%C3%B3w" title="Kraków">Kraków</a>. He was the son of a <a href="Weaving" title="Weaving">weaver</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> He became a medium at the age of fifteen. It was alleged he could <a href="Materialization_(paranormal)" title="Materialization (paranormal)">materialize</a> spirits and perform <a href="Levitation_(paranormal)" title="Levitation (paranormal)">levitation</a> and <a href="Psychokinesis" class="mw-redirect" title="Psychokinesis">psychokinesis</a> of objects. Guzyk was endorsed by the psychical researcher <a href="Gustav_Geley" title="Gustav Geley">Gustav Geley</a> who attended his séances.<sup id="cite_ref-Bower_2010_1-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Bower_2010-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Investigations">Investigations</h2></div>

<p>Skeptical investigator Paul Heuzé and a professional illusionist known as Professor Dicksonn suspected that Guzyk was fraudulent and that Geley and other psychical researchers had been duped by trickery.<sup id="cite_ref-Bower_2010_1-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Bower_2010-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In November 1923, Heuzé organized five scientists, including French physicist <a href="Paul_Langevin" title="Paul Langevin">Paul Langevin</a> to observe Guzyk during a series of séances at <a href="Sorbonne_(building)" title="Sorbonne (building)">Sorbonne</a>. Objects were moved but only in close reach of the medium. They committee concluded that he had freed one of his legs to perform the phenomena. When tighter controls were introduced, nothing happened.<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Their report published in the <i>L'Année Psychologique</i>, stated that fraud was "complete and without reserve".<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>Guzyk was said to have utilized his elbows and legs to move objects around the room and touch the sitters. He was caught cheating by the psychical researcher <a href="Harry_Price" title="Harry Price">Harry Price</a>. According to Price the "man was clever, especially with his feet, which were almost as useful to him as his hands in producing phenomena."<sup id="cite_ref-Price_1942_3-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Price_1942-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Price also noted that Guzyk impersonated a "spirit" animal during a séance by placing his hand in a <a href="Stocking" title="Stocking">stocking</a> to stimulate the illusion of a snapping <a href="Jaw" title="Jaw">jaw</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-Tabori_1974_4-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Tabori_1974-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>Psychologist <a href="Max_Dessoir" title="Max Dessoir">Max Dessoir</a> wrote that the trick of Guzyk was to use his "foot for psychic touches and sounds".<sup id="cite_ref-Lewis_2003_5-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Lewis_2003-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> He was investigated many times and his mediumship was detected in fraud.<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> At a séance in Kraków in December 1924 a photograph showed him moving a curtain with his hand. <a href="Walter_Franklin_Prince" title="Walter Franklin Prince">Walter Franklin Prince</a> who attended séances with Guzyk came to the conclusion he had no paranormal ability.<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The psychical researcher Paul Tabori has written that it was established beyond doubt that Guzyk had cheated at his séances.<sup id="cite_ref-Tabori_1974_4-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Tabori_1974-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
