I wouldn't say it's tosh, but the few readings I had were very general to say the least, nothing stood out.

Putting the 'cum' in Eboracum

I can (or at least used to be able to) read tarot, runes, tea leaves, cards, and dice. It's good fun.

I never did it professionally but sometimes did it at parties, and it's amazingly easy to 'read' people and pick up what they're hoping to hear. The best fortune tellers are good at reading body language and picking out 'tells'. I suspect a lot of it is mostly that, with a bit of 'you never know' thrown in.

You can spend £10 on a pint and fish and chips, it lasts half an hour,

Or you can spend £10 on a reading that lasts half an hour and it can change your life, for the better.

How is it a con, an adult, ie over 18 can chose what they spend their money on, no one forces you to buy make up, shoes, alcohol, or a reading, we all have free will.

A fixed price reading, is an informed purchase, as is everything else we buy.

Yes you guessed it I am a full time reader, with 35 years experience, and have many thousands, unsolicited ratings, that potential customers can read before making an informed decision,

some good , some, bad, but every rating is displayed.

Each and every one of us is psychic and has intuition, we are born with it, but not usually encouraged to use or develop it.

We teach children to talk, when they can we say, shut up ! we teach children to walk, then say sit still.

Every child has a sixth sense, we are all linked to each other.

No psychic charges for a sense or "gift" they charge for time, which is the most precious gift we have.

What is so bad is many make sure the baseless predictions come true , self fulfilling prophecy circle . This means people with no right manipulate a vulnerable humans life this is shocking

The fact is no one has ever genuinely illustrated esp under controlled conditions and if they could they would

It is well evidenced that many use researchers who even go into homes..

For those convinced they have seen something that could only be explained by super natural just watch derren brown who can perform all the amazing tricks the con artists use . He will read your mind predict your mind predict your future tell you what is in your pocket and something no psychic con artist gap ever done predict the lottery , predict a gun shot

If you have been convinced to believe all that has occurred is you have been conned and that is never a good thing however comforting you may think knowing dad is happy on the other side

There is zero data to suggest any supernatural power exists and volume upon volume of facts illustrating why it does not xx

I agree if nothing strange has happen to you that you could not explain your argument holds up well until one day something strange does happen on that you can't explain or get your head round .

What would you say to such a person your wrong or would you say I wish I had been there to see that .

I'd say I wish i'd been there romantic silly yes but hay I'm love to experience something my mind can't explain away

I agree that a medium show, conducted by a showman or woman would be easy to rig,

especially if they have your name and addy to send tickets too, just look on the net for accidents, deaths in a town, link names to addy, and any one could get pretty accurate hits.

As you say big money is at stake.

However no one is forced to go, people go in the hope for the price of a ticket, any guilt they may have can be taken away.

On the cons camp and it is a con,

Preying on the greiving, at a time when someone is most vulnerable and looking for a connection to a lost one

they mess with the true genuine memory someone has and put in theirs which are nothing more than the result of a cold reading and what the person wants to hear. All to line their pockets, deceit in its most disgusting form,

If you can hold a straight face and you go to one give false answers if they are right say there wrong and vice versa see what kind of reading you get then the only good thing to come out of them is James Randi

He went bankrupt but he is now back selling 'miracle water' doing his healing/reading crap and making millions,

Uri Geller actually admitted a few years ago that he was a fake, yet people have very short memories, and now he is back with his usual schtick.

We can't police other peoples beliefs. We can only make sure that we are true to ourselves. If people want to visit psychics then it's not my job to trash them.

Funnily enough, it seems that tarot cards were just a form of playing card, used for an Italian sourced card game, in the 1400's, a while after general playing cards had started in Europe - 1300's.

I have no problem with anyone using anything to 'read fortunes' etc, and if someone really has some form of psychic ability, then I'd also be fine with them using some cards, crystal balls etc. But the evidence doesn't seem to be there for psychic powers, despite anecdotal reports that people have had what they believe to be accurate readings.

I think I'd be happy with people who purport to communicate with the dead, on behalf of grieving relatives, to be somewhat controlled. This is solely due to the fact that people in this state are vulnerable and open to manipulation etc. What form of control, I don't know. Others would argue for buyers to be beware, but we don't allow this in many other areas of business, where people pay money for services, and fraud and other controls exist.

So, I can't help feeling it's all tosh, but I'd love to see someone taking up Randi or other challenges, and winning, proving that they have psychic abilities.

I would suggest.. Instead of tarot try learning psychology and anthropology and then make some ink blot pictures honest simple and without mystical smoke x most people know the self truth yet often find it difficult to self address a second trusted person is often all that is required to UNLOCK sadly the charlatans use and distort this simple fact adding smoke and mirrors to capture the fertile mind of the victims

I would have been surprised if they had said anything other for someone in their late 20s early 30s. They might have also said in the next few days you will buy a loaf of bread and milk although the vision wasn't clear if it would be 2 or 4 pints.

Would question if youbsnd a friend sat in a waiting area discussing what you want to hear, I know people who did and they had sound equipment recording the waiting area,

Haha in looking for a hit get very vague info like a b then if miss can be changed to a d or c, but certainly not a full word.

Get the hit from someone and suddenly they can hear full articulate sentences, bit strange that why don't they come through and say its Derek for the beryl the lady sat in third row second from the left

I started training as a medium at the northern psychic centre, and was there for five years, one night we all turned up and the gates were closed, thirty mediums and not one of us saw it coming, I always have a laugh now when I tell people the northern psychic centre closed down due to unforeseen circumstances, strange but true.
