There was a tv show on how psychics do their tricks, it went into great detail from everything to talking to the dead to seances, I think it had Judd Nelson in it but i could be wrong, I was wondering if anyone knows the title and if it is obtainable on dvd?  
Please let me know I’ve been searching for it for quite some time.  
Thanks  
Jason

[Unmasked: Exposing the Secrets of Deception](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0477123/)  
Is this it?  
IMDB to the rescue. 🙂

Welcome to the Straight Dope.

Just a couple of things. Make sure you post in the correct forum. **Cafe Society** is probably the best for this type of question.

Secondly, try not to post the same question in multiple forums.

Well, actually, **Peter** , there was a Staff Report on this topic, so I’m going to leave it here.  
**jhsif** , this will probably answer some of your questions: [Straight Dope Staff Report: How come TV psychics seem so convincing ?](http://www.straightdope.com/mailbag/mcoldreading.html)

Since you’ve also opened an idential thread in the General QUestions forum, I’m closing this one and referring everyone to that other thread: [question about psychics](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=445688)
