Skeptic Presents: The Con Academy (Vol.1)
This is volume 1 of The Con Academy videos—another resource in the Skeptics Society's arsenal of Skepticism 101 for teaching critical thinking and promoting science through the use of humor, wit, and satire.

We also demonstrate how psychic "organizations" con people by taking their money for services that are not real.
