About the Author

After several years involved with formal skepticism, Peter Huston still occasionally finds time to investigate and write about the paranormal, strange claims, and other bizarre behavior on the fringes of American culture. The former newspaper reporter, EMT, concert security guard, and general jack of all trades is the author of two other books. Besides writing science fiction, his interests include psychology, languages, Asian cooking and cultures, and the martial arts.

This review is from: Scams from the Great Beyond: How to Make Easy Money Off of ESP . . . (Paperback)
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.

This review is from: Scams from the Great Beyond: How to Make Easy Money Off of ESP . . . (Paperback)
I bought this as a curiosity more than anything. I enjoy mind games and parlor tricks and was curious to learn how tricksters get "cold reads" from their subjects. If you are looking for a fun book on ESP and how people are tricked then this book is for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hysterical and informative, June 6, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Scams from the Great Beyond: How to Make Easy Money Off of ESP . . . (Paperback)
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.
