Hi lads, my reply never came up so I'll try a new thread.
Hi franky mate, I've yet to see or hear about a psychic that's not influenced by the financial benefits of such "abilities"
Like the million dollar cheque situation. Why hasn't a psychic came forward, took the blind tests to prove their ability, and then donated the cheque to a charity? I think the answer to that question is simply that anyone who claims to have such abilities, knows that they will never pass the blind test as there are no psychic powers to actually show/prove.
Hi Ryan, I've actually heard this has happened to a few folk. You have to remember that people that practice cold reading, become masters of their craft mate. With your situation, this woman who approached you, could simply have been someone who had started practicing the art of cold reading (it really is a very complex linguistic practice) and merely used you as someone to practice out on? All she really had to do was approach you with a name, and the name she says doesn't need to be the name of someone who has passed away, so whatever name they say, they pretty much can't be wrong, as they'll only mostly use very common names, depending on generation of customer. And for example, chances are, everyone knows someone, somewhere, called john. And once you've put meaning to the name they've approached you with, your pretty much putty in their hands, as you'll be giving them everything they need to confuse you into thinking they are telling you something that they couldn't know.
It would be great if there were people who could actually do the things these con artists claim to do, it would open up a whole knew understanding. But it won't, as it's simply just an illusion of sorts. Like I've said, it's those that prey on the vulnerable that really gets to me!

{Ed001's Note - have you ever thought that it is possible that any possible psychic powers might not be fully controllable? That would make it impossible to take any kind of test with any certainty of coming through. Anyway, why would you want it proven by someone who has a vested interest in it not being proven? They will be sure to put all kinds of impossible obstacles in the way to ensure the money is never paid.}
Jay, how did you know his name was John?
And who told you about the putty? I never told anyone about that. Not even her.
C u next tuesday.
Ryan.

If that's a joke mate, it's either really bad, or too clever for me!
If it's not, please do elaborate? Did something I say get to you? If so I apologise and would like the opportunity to discuss further with you!

mate how many psychics do you know?i am not trying to be funny but to assume everyone is a fraud is a sweeping statement, I can not back it up that 1% are genuine, I am just going off my mothers claims and I do appreciate that she could have been played but at the same time because no one has took up the 1 million challenge does not mean a person has not these gifts.

Oh aye, and very very clever, the c u next Tuesday part, you come up with that big belter by yourself. Haven't heard that one before! You should patent that puppy before anyone else steals it.
Take it you're just realising that the woman you spoke to was actually playing you like a fool? Not my fault pal!
