description: "Erik Jan Hanussen, was an Austrian publicist and clairvoyant performer. Acclaimed in his lifetime as a hypnotist, mentalist, occultist and astrologer, Hanussen was active in Weimar Republic Germany and also at the beginning of Nazi Germany. He is said to have instructed Adolf Hitler in performance and the achievement of dramatic effect, and for treating Hitler during his depression. He was assassinated in 1933, likely by members of the Sturmabteilung in an internal power struggle."
