How do Con-men, swindlers, and scam artists get away with it? What traits do they, and their victims, all share? Today we speak with Maria Konnikova, author of a new book The Confidence Game: Why We Fall for It…Every Time. Konnikova pulls together a selection of fascinating stories to demonstrate what all cons share in common, drawing on scientific, dramatic, and psychological perspectives. In relation to that, do you want to know the science behind telekinesis? If yes, then you should visit this site psychics4today.com since they have a lot of blog about Physics. She also recently penned a provocative piece for the New Yorker looking to whether GOP presidential hopeful Donald Trump exhibits the traits of a con-artist.

“Kristopher James can SANG. That’s not a typo. This guy can SANG. The amount of soul in this vocal is absolutely phenomenal. The overall production feels like it could have been recorded in Stax in the last 60s. The vibe feels legit and is something we are proud to support. This one came along at just the right time… not too soon or too late. If you miss the “good old days” when people made “real music” then you need to spin this track” (Too Soon, Too Late)” – Ear To The Ground #thw24 #Livemusic #wmnfevents CLICK EVENTS IN LINKTREE FOR TICKETS!
