Funny stuff could be funnier

This book was so funny. That thing about "If the psychic is so psychic why doesn't the psychic just CALL YOU and tell you whats going to happen you next". Very funny book, why would a psychic need to know what my name is? They should know right? very funny

Good Enough For Government Work

While it is true that there are much better explanitory/historical case studies books, and have been for generations now, for a layman it seems to me that this book is worthwhile. If one takes it in this way, even a person more experienced in flim flam scams will find it a good read. This book has spirit and the skeptical community has received it well it seems in book reviews I've read. That is good enough commendation IMO.

Hysterical and informative

Huston does a fine job cutting through the mystical BS that New Age hucksters use to separate fools from their money. While acknowledging that there are some unexplainable things out there that, when investigated honestly, make life that much more interesting, Huston has no mercy on self-proclaimed channelers, astrologers, psychics, UFO travelers, and the like who use a combination of charisma and cultish intimidation to bring believers into their fold. Read this book if you're a skeptic with a heart. You will not be disappointed.

A Good How - it's - Done Expose'

Huston's book is short, funny, illustrated and clearly explains the tricks to fool the gullible behind claims of telepathy, telekinesis, levitation and other New Age nonsense. Particularly good is his account of how simply UFO phots. can be faked.
