He believed the device was actually a lie detector — and grabbed tester Brandon Sandler by the tie. The pair tussled and Mr Sandler fell backwards off his chair, injuring his back ...

It's not a trick thing," she said. "It's all about understanding. If you understand something, you can control it, and then you're not ...
