Press Release Summary: Author of The Skeptics Guide to the Paranormal, Lynne Kelly
offers a skeptical perspective on research into psychic medium communication.


Press Release Body: Del Mar, CA, September 25, 2008 -- Join Alex Tsakiris for an
interview with Lynne Kelly, a science educator, and a skeptic based in Melbourne,
Australia. Ms. Kelly is an expert in “cold readings” techniques used by mentalists
and stage magicians to give the illusion of communication with the deceased. During
the 45-minute interview Kelly discusses how mediums work:

“What I’m saying with a lot of psychics is not that they’re frauds. Far from it.
Most of the astrology and tarot readers that I see are absolutely genuine people who
have a faith in the system and therefore giving credit to the system when it’s
actually their own intuition and it’s already built into the system that’s working.
I think the same is probably true of most mediums.”

Kelly also discusses the upcoming demonstration of psychic medium communication
being carried out by Skeptiko.com and OpenSourceScinece.net.
