Brief Abstract and Overview of Text
"The current generation of youths is one of the
easiest to deceive and manipulate in history," says critically
acclaimed author and investigative journalist Dan Korem.
He should know . . . in the mid-1980s he predicted that gangs would appear
in suburbs and small towns for the first time in world history. In the
early 1990s Korem & Associates correctly predicted the random
bombing/shooting terrorist trend in schools and started training law
enforcement in the US and Europe three years before the first
incidents. (Korem & Associates
has trained more professionals on how to diffuse this trend than any other
organization in the world.)
"And it appears that the worst is yet to come," he warns.
Dan Korem, the author of the critically acclaimed books, Suburban
Gangs— The Affluent Rebels and The Art of Profiling—Reading
People Right the First Time, has vastly updated and expanded this
hard-hitting guide for parents, educators, law enforcement officers, &
youth workers so that they can teach kids (Ages 5-18) how to spot & respond
to threats & deception.
Invaluable lessons include:
1) The profile of the person who is the easiest to
deceive & how not to become that person.
2) A simple method for teaching a youth how to discern
whether someone is lying or telling the truth.
3) Why gangs are forming in upscale communities &
how to talk a friend out of joining one.
4) How to recognize if someone is dangerously violent
and appropriate responses.
5) How to distinguish between illusion and reality.
6) When it is and isn't appropriate to use deception—i.e.,
trick play in football versus cheating on a test.
7) Guidelines for distinguishing when fantasy and imagination
can turn harmful.
8) Good versus bad secrets—when it is and isn't
appropriate to keep a secret and what to do with harmful
secrets.
9) Additional chapters that affect the youth culture,
including: entertainment and news media, Internet, drugs, identifying and
resisting cults.

PSYCHIC CONFESSION—Video
·
Overview:
This classic 1983 program, seen by over 100 million people worldwide, contains the only known on-camera confession
of a cult-like leader who claimed to have powers. In 1981, James Hydrick,
three years after the Jonestown Massacre, developed a cult-like following in
Salt Lake City. He appeared on national television, fooling millions with
his claims of psychic powers and alleged healing miracles. Investigative
journalist, Dan Korem, not only exposed on camera how each of Hydrick's tricks
worked, like moving objects without touching them, but his eighteen month
investigation also resulted in obtaining the only known confession of a
cult-like figure. After the broadcast of this special, cult-like groups with
similar leaders disbanded.
Additionally, the Department of Health and
Human Services purchased the program as it was the first documentary that traced the
effects of child abuse through the eyes of an adult.
Los Angeles Times—It's an altogether fascinating
study that transcends the
somewhat exploitive subject matter.
Hollywood Reporter—It's a remarkable example of
effective electronic
investigative journalism.
·
Who can use this book:
Anyone interested in how cults form and psychics and others who fake their miracles. Also, compelling
confession shows the connection between severe trauma as a youth and
aberrant group formation. Has been used in many universities and by law enforcement agencies.

POWERS: TESTING THE PSYCHIC AND SUPERNATURAL
Dan Korem
·
Overview:
First published in 1988, Powers is a fascinating
examination of how psychics fake their powers and an examination of the
resurrection of Christ to determine if it too was accomplished by trickery or
another ancient legend. Prior to 1981, Dan Korem earned his livelihood as a
professional sleight-of-hand magician. This triggered an intense study of alleged
claims of psychic and supernatural powers from the time he was in his teens
until 1988. He correctly saw that those who claimed to have powers, could easily
form cult groups, which occurred in large numbers in the 1970s and 80s.
This book is an excellent companion to Psychic
Confession, as it contains compelling excerpts from James Hydrick's confession that were not
broadcast.
·
Who can use this book:
Anyone who is looking for a quick, insightful read.

Paperback; 227 pages, Photos.

story.

this important lesson.)
