Synopsis:

Argues that many psychic phenomena and New Age sciences are really hoaxes, and gives advice on spotting psychic fraud.

From the Author: People will try anything to meet God--but be careful!
Psychic hotlines, psychic fairs, palm reading, crystals, runes, astrology -- there's no question about it, people want to meet God. But can God be found through con men and craftiness? We've spent a lifetime investigating claims of the supernatural, and have found most of them to be fakes, frauds, and false phenomena. Approaching the topic from a magician's point of view (that is, from one skilled in fakery), we take a critical look at many of the methods people use to try and get in touch with the Almighty. Most of them turn out to be nothing but "mind games." A skilled magician can fool you into thinking you've seen something you haven't. In this book, we explore everything from astrology and hypnotism to ghost hauntings and alleged UFO sightings. We even take on some of the people in the church who play mind games with their parishioners and claim it to be "the power of God." Andre Kole, the magician who designs the illusions of David Copperfield and nearly every other world class illusionist, has performed in more countries of the world than any magician in history. Here he teams with Jerry MacGregor, a well-known writer and lecturer on mental magic, to explore the origins of supernatural phenomena. From the X-Files to New Age corporate seminars, we're being inundated with false psychic messages. Mind Games is intended to help you sort out the real from the fake, and to educate you so that you don't fall prey to those who would use simple magic tricks to separate you from your money.
