Secrets Of Psychics Revealed - documentary [low quality audio]

A great show that really shows how cheap enough tricks can create great results, and most psychics are not as good as the most basic demonstrations by the mentalists and magicians involved with this program.

How A Psychic Fraud Can Be Created

This is on the issue of those who did have faith in spiritualism and/or new age as a psychic and/or mediums (spirit communicator), and they realise it's not real magical powers, and so they think it is best to continue to make a living off the skill even though they no longer have a mystical faith.

Just to add, I had faith in it, as many of you know, I got out it long before I made money off it, but IF I had got on stage as a psychic then i may have considered holding on to the act even if I realised the gift was just delusion and linguistic tricks, I suggest that many psychics could start out from faithful routes.
