"The Secret" can cure cancer. Or at least help you snag a convenient parking space.

In the film a woman says the law of attraction cured her cancer, but many followers settle for more prosaic victories. Victoria Moore, a saleswoman in Silicon Valley, said the principles of “The Secret” help her snag coveted parking spots. “But if I let in the slightest bit of doubt, it doesn’t happen,” she added. Elizabeth Cogan, a self-described shaman from Sparks, Nev., said the principle works at restaurants, where she envisions herself not having to wait for a table.

If Victoria Moore found parking spots in midtown Manhattan between the hours of 9 and 5, I'd believe, too.
