Dan Burstein's Secrets of the Occult on AllMovie

Occult authority Dan Burstein leads an informative investigation into the world of the esoteric while contrasting the practice of modern magicians against the skeptical responses of contemporary scientists in a program designed to alter the way viewers perceive the day-to-day reality that surrounds them. In addition to highlighting the accomplishments made by such innovative minds as Albert Einstein, Isaac Newton, and Galileo, Burstein also scrutinizes the claims made by occult practitioners to draw parallels between recent discoveries about the mind and the physical world and the beliefs of the ancient Greek and Egyptian societies.
