Very interesting, level-headed description of the psychic reading act

Toward the end is this great comment
"...a wonderful statement by Penn Jillette of Penn and Teller fame, about exactly WHY what Van Praagh is doing is so bad. It would obviously be fine if he were telling people he is a magician doing a stage act, but because he is deceiving people this is immoral. Penn also made a nice statement about how grief is properly dealt with through personal reflection, memories, and your own internal conversations with those memories."
I'm sure JZ has convinced herself that she is helping people - but this lie of hers is deeply immoral.
