Telepathy, spoon-bending, spiritualism, fortune-telling, astrology and other apparently supernatural phenomena exert a continuing fascination for both sceptics and believers. James Randi, magician and psychic investigator, sets out to expose the world of the paranormal, exploring the myths of the occult and uncovering a few psychic tricksters in the process. The book is published to tie in with an ITV series in which Randi invites psychics to demonstrate their feats to a studio audience and a panel of experts, not all of whom are sceptics. He also performs sophisticated magic tricks to show his public just how gullible they are. His previous books include "The Mask of Nostradamus" and "The Truth About Uri Geller".
