In the television commercial they make it seem a lot more "mystical" than they do in the written description. I'm still trying to figure out if it's supposed to be a competition for people claiming to have paranormal abilities or if it's just for "mentalists". The TV segment I saw on it was a little misleading in that respect.
Comments?
Note: I plan to post this in various places.
