In this nicely designed slender volume, author Jack Chandu instructs the neophyte in how to divine using a pendulum. Chandu explains that a person using a pendulum to locate an object perceives from a distance the wavelength of the object. When a pendulum answers a question, it's because every answer lies hidden in the subconscious and finding the truth simply involves learning to use this simple tool. The only talent required is a modicum of intuition (i.e., … mehrrudimentary ESP). Nine out of ten readers will become proficient with a little practice, Chandu assures us. Sniffing his nose at spiritualists who believe Ouija boards move due to the interference of spirits, he provides the reader with simple step-by-step instructions, exercises, and tests to help develop this rather handy but very basic human skill. --P.
