Haunted Air dealt with psychics and the slight of hand and fake stuff they do to make you believe so they can take your money ...

Are there really psychic businesses out there they do all of the stuff descrbed in the novel? Or did FPW just make it all up?

And if so is this just in NY or everywhere?

I once met a lady that had a psychic shop in Seguin, TX ... she was no psychic. She told me mostly what she did was give love advice.

If your interested check out Derren Brown. He debunks those kind of people and the tricks they use. He had a show on US television called "Mind Control" with Derren Brown. Some of the stuff he can do is freaky. He makes a note to point out there is nothing supernatural and it all can be explained away.

All the tricks in THA are in common use by psychics.

And I believe magic stores offer books and illusions carefully labeled "For Entertainment Purposes Only".
