		Thurston wrote, “I now come to two groups of men—those who are the easiest to deceive and those who are the most difficult.
		Thurston obviously knew all the tricks out there, and he must have been aware that the manifestations produced by mediums and mystics were no differently produced than his own illusions.
		Thurston wrote, “Taking everything into consideration, the most interesting things I have learned about people are these: their love of mystery—of something they cannot explainand, most strikingly of all, the wish to believe in the supernatural, especially in some evidence of life after death.”
