A magician faces off against a group of fortune tellers in front of the US Congress - who wins? Harry Houdini takes on Congress to warn of the very real dangers of Spiritualism in one of the most dramatic demonstrations in American history only to be accused of being a secret Spiritualist himself. Also, the largest Spiritualist community in the world still exists in Western New York - Lily Dale - a few dozen miles from its birthplace, what is it like today? Finally, a short chapter on a very different place, one that is near polar opposite of Lily Dale - the Chautauqua Institution - where faith is used to build understanding of truth regardless of background. (6/12)
