Do you think psychic powers are real? Or are they just fun parlor tricks meant for entertainment? In this episode, we tell the story about a man named Peter Hurkos who claimed to have psychic abilities and who consulted on various criminal cases including that of the Boston Strangler. Then we flip it 180 degrees to talk about the Amazing Randi; a man who claimed to be a charlatan and a liar and who set out to debunk these so-called psychics.
