\/>While acknowledging that for many, belief in things such as ghosts, numerology and alien visitors is fun, he offers practical considerations as well.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFirst, it\u2019s even more fun and rewarding to figure out how a magic trick is performed, or how eyes and cameras can be deceived when one is expecting to see a ghost,\u201d he says. \u201cSecond, people need to know that the fun often morphs into something more sinister.\u201d An example, he says, is phony psychics profiting by tricking people into believing they\u2019re in contact with dead loved ones.<\/p>\n<p>Markovsky understands the longing to believe in more than meets the eye. \u201cNot only am I open to the claims discussed in the book, I also want most of them to be true!\u201d he says. \u201cBut my desire to
