The hidden value of psychics

Today’s briefing investigates the world of psychics and asks the fundamental question - are they dangerous charlatans or do they actually provide some real value.

Writer Gary Nunn investigates his own testing relationship with psychics and reveals their secret and surprising influence over a range of powerful cliques, from business to law enforcement.

Gary’s new book is called The Psychic Tests and it takes him on a journey of discovery as he investigates psychics working with his own sister, to a stock broking firm, all the way up to a US president.
