{"product_id":"the-psychic-mafia","title":"The Psychic Mafia","description":"\u003cp\u003eM. Lamar Keene  who came to be known as the \"Prince of the Spiritualists \" enjoyed the riches and fame that accompany the life of a sought-after medium. He claimed to be clairvoyant and to produce objects out of thin air. He conducted seances in which participants talked with and even touched the dead. Yet every miracle Keene performed was a fraud  a lie  and a trick played on willing  gullible victims. In this powerful and brutally honest book  Keene exposes the secrets of the seance room  including ghostly apparitions  floating trumpets  \"spirit sex \" and other tricks used by mediums to exploit believers. Originally published in 1976 and long out of print  this classic work is a fast-paced autobiographical account of a confessed charlatan who was one of the first mediums to admit his deception.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44963145056309,"sku":"ByrdShop_044016849X","price":222.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780440168492.jpg?v=1770407638","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-psychic-mafia","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
