In some “psychic fairs” in the United States, supposed photos of the human aura can be obtained. In this case the photographers use an intricate procedure that requires first snapping a photo of the subject whose hand is on a sensor plate, something that is done by inducing an electrical current to the hand of the customer. They then take a measurement of the intensity of the current, which is then computer translated to a liquid crystal electronic display screen, enabled to produce colors, located inside the camera. The colors, arbitrarily selected, are then projected to the contour of the body of the subject, in accordance to their acupunctural distribution, and the copy is then printed. An investigation made by Joe Nickell, the expert in fraud detection, showed that the same individual will obtain two very different auras, made just minutes apart with the same camera.
