Human beings have a tendency to underestimate their own gullibility while overestimating the gullibility of others. Over the course of a ten-card tarot "reading," Noah Lugeons will demonstrate this. He'll explain the techniques of cold reading that allowed him to convince hundreds of people that tarot cards carried mystical powers. Along the way, he'll sheepishly admit that among the many people he managed to fool back then was himself.
Noah Lugeons is a podcaster, author, and atheist activist. He’s the host of The Scathing Atheist, the 2014 Podcast Award winner for Best Religious Podcast, and the podcast God Awful Movies, which has been recorded live at the largest atheist conferences in the US, the UK, and Australia.
He is the author of several books on the subject of atheism. His most recent book, Outbreak: A Crisis of Faith – How Religion Ruined Our Global Pandemic, examines religion’s role in America’s error riddled response to the COVID-19 crisis.
He temporarily resides in rural South Georgia (but not temporarily enough).
