Definition: When something happens to you or a friend that seemingly has no explanation, we jump to conclusions and attempt to solve the puzzle ourselves. A magicians trick could be so complex that you'd have no way to explain it, and although a delight to see, most people know that magic is not real.
Connection: If you haven't seen this program, I suggest it as it is very entertaining. Essentially, the Las Vegas Magic act of Penn and Teller, host their own television program that seeks out the most talented Magicians in an attempt to fool the pros. Watch these acts and see if you can figure out their trick, because if it can fool Penn and Teller, it certainly fooled me.

Definition: Our emotions can confuse us, it can put a line between rational thought and the need to believe. This can be especially dangerous when dealing with situations where a loved one has passed away. Some people will reach out to mediums or psychics in hopes for answers, or the change to speak to their loved ones again.
Connection: The following link to ABC News is an article on psychic Sylvia Brown and kidnapping victim Amanda Berry. Berry's parents approached Brown while she was filming a television show, desperate for answers on their missing daughter. Brown told the family that Berry had passed away, but years later Berry was found alive after being held hostage for 10 years.

A year after Amanda Berry disappeared in Cleveland, her mother appeared on "The Montel Williams Show" to speak to a psychic about what happened to her daughter.

Psychic Sylvia Browne, who has made a career of televised psychic readings, told Louwanna Miller on a 2004 episode of the show that her daughter was dead, causing Miller to break down in tears on the show's set.

"She's not alive, honey," Browne told Miller on the show, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer newspaper. "Your daughter's not the kind who wouldn't call."

Miller told the newspaper that she believed "98 percent" in what Browne told her. Miller died a year later from heart failure.

On Monday, Berry was found alive after she broke free from a home in Cleveland where she says she has been kept for the past decade.

Browne did not return phone calls seeking comment today by ABC News. The Montel Williams show, through syndicator CBS, also did not return calls for comment. The show no longer airs new episodes.

It's not the first time that Browne, and other psychics, have come under fire for their involvement in law enforcement cases.

In 2003, Browne incorrectly told the parents of missing teen Shawn Hornbeck that their son was dead, and his body could be found somewhere near "two jagged boulders," according to her premonition.

Nearly four years later, Hornbeck was found alive, and Browne was widely criticized in the media for causing the Hornbecks additional grief.

A website called "Stop Sylvia Browne," dedicated to cataloguing Browne's purported failures at prediction, sprang up in 2006.

Last year, Dwayne Baker told ABC News that after his son went missing in 2007, he was flooded with calls from psychics offering potential leads into the whereabouts of Travis Baker.

"It's very hard,' Dwayne Baker said. "I went through everything. My son was missing for two years, two months and 12 days. "Psychics called me. I even received a DVD in the mail that a guy claimed he could talk to the dead and this was Travis' voice, with no return address. I don't understand why people would want to do that."

"The psychics..." said Baker, 45, before pausing to let out a long sigh. "I hate to say how many of those called me and said they knew where Travis was. My mother and wife went to one and paid them $100."

Travis Baker's remains were located in 2009.

Brad Garret, a former special agent with the FBI and ABC News consultant said that alleged tips from psychics rarely help solve a case.

"As far as finding a victim, finding remains, finding evidence or in any way helping to solve the case, it's never been my experience," he said. "So, it's really a disservice to victims."

"We've never had a psychic lead that turns out to be correct," said Lt. Dave Parker, of the Anchorage, Alaska, police department, after 18-year-old Samantha Koenig went missing in February, 2012.

Today, Brown faced backlash on social media for her incorrect prediction about Amanda Berry. It is unclear whether she has helped to solve a crime with her psychic predictions.

"Psychics make me sick. Here's an example: Sylvia Browne told Amanda Berry's Mum (now dead) her daughter was dead," wrote Twitter user Chris McBriarty.

Definition: The belief that unexplained events are the cause of unidentified agents, such as angels, aliens or ghosts. Some people believe good or lucky things happen to them for a reason, maybe they have a guardian angel, someone watching over them to help them walk through life.
Connection: I chose to use this image to represent the Illuminati. There is a heavy belief that the Illuminati control much of the world, from politicians to pop stars around the globe. Not only are their thought to be celebrities in this inner circle, but conspiracies that the Illuminati control which celebrities die each year.

Why are people so quick to believe?

Definition: A coincidence that is mistaken for evidence of change. The most common misconceptions include taking an herbal supplement to lose weight or using homeopath remedies. If you are actively trying to lose weight and are also taking a diet pill, you might be likely to believe that your weight loss is the cause of the medication, rather than your eating and exercise habits.
Connection: This brief clip of 'The Simpsons' shows that Lisa claims that the rock keeps tigers away. Homer automatically assumes that the rock is the cause of the lack of tigers, rather than understanding the two instances are unrelated.

Definition: A statement used by marketers to describe ingredients used in a product they are selling. This will give the buyer the impression that the product must work and be healthier, simply because the product is All-Natural. Unfortunately, just because something is all natural, doesn't mean its better. For example, Snake Venom is all natural, but lethal to humans.
Connection: Some products are marketed as being, "all-natural" or "wellness" products, even when science disproves these claims. I have linked below a website that sells magnetic, gold, and copper bracelets. They are said to cure arthritis and sooth aching joints, but again these claims are not true.

Definition: A conspiracy of the medical establishment, a statement to entice you into using a product that works so well, that pharmacies or doctors don't want anyone to know about it. This could include diet pills or hair growth products.
Connection: I know everyone has seen this advertisement on TV before or something similar to it. It's claims are so extraordinary and maybe you've been interested in putting it to the test. Unfortunately, most things that claim to be, "too good to be true," are mostly false rather than fact.

# data[].attributes.body
Definition:  The act of finding evidence that would confirm or prove your ideas or beliefs while ignoring evidence that would contradict or disprove your ideas or beliefs. This can relate to your political or spiritual beliefs, as some people may go out of their way to ignore contradicting evidence that may hurt their cause.

Connection: A silly cartoon showing that some people will truly go out of their way to seek evidence that only supports their point of view. This extends to many different parties of people, from those who believe in psychics to anti-vaccination groups.

# data[].attributes.body
Definition: A distraction that points to the impressiveness of the claim, such as celebrity endorsement or an actor wearing a lab coat. You may be tricked into thinking that a product will work based on the authoritative figures who support them.
Connection: Kylie Jenner is a celebrity who is endorsing this product, Fit Tea. It is a body detox system that is supposed to help you lose weight. Will it work? You'd have to try it for yourself to know, but people will probably be more willing to give it a shot when their is a celebrity endorsing a product.
