[Thedelldays]

[Draino76]

Some of it will probably become true, and some of it won't.

[Guest Dark Sotonic Mills]

My great aunt reckoned she was clairvoyant and a medium. Haven't heard a f*cking peep out of her since she died.

1) Watch the video above where Derren Brown explains how it is done.

 

2) Look out for vagueness in bucketloads until they narrow in on something that connects with your life rather than the broader section of the population they were talking about before. Basically they will play a game of 20 questions with you.

 

3) Ask them why he/she hasn't won the lottery.

 

4) If you really have to go, what ever you do don't give them any money as it is fraud!

I was saying to Mrs Trousers only last night that it was about time someone started a clairvoyancy thread.

 

Make of that what you will.

They'll give you a load of barnum statements such as

 

"I sense that you are sometimes insecure, especially with people you don't know very well."

 

or

 

"You are a very kind and considerate person, but when somebody does something to break your trust, you feel deep-seated anger"

 

Are you actually paying money for it?

Both of those are absolutely true about me! Could you tell me more if I give you £10?

[Lighthouse]

If you want proof of its bullsh*ttiness, just make up a dead relative you want to communicate with. Before you know it, they will be telling you ficticious uncle Ray is at peace and he wants you not to worry about money. I think South Park did a very funny spoof of an American 'medium' called John Edward.

I had an assistant once who got involved with a clairvoyant,the poor girl's husband had run off with a washerwoman or something like that and she was sort of desperate to get him back.When the usual ringing up and going round proved to no avail she sought psychic help. This involved burying chicken bones in his driveway and loads of other weird stuff. She used to tell us all about it at coffee breaks and the poor girl really took some ragging. What she didn't ever mention was just how much this medium was

charging her for all these magical husband recovering cures,although she was by no means poorly paid it took all he salary for

a few months on end, in the end she stole some cheques out of a colleagues handbag and we had to sack her.

 

So the tale of this is be careful of psychics,mediums and witch doctors of all ilks, they'll tell you what you want to hear as long as you keep paying.

 

Just to prove that it's not only idiots who get taken in, this girl had a doctorate from the Sorbonne.

I don't think it's a question of idiocy. I think it's about people being highly suggestible and afraid of death. People don't want to believe that this is it, so they cling to ideas like religion and clairvoyancy.

[farawaysaint]

Cold reading is a simple tactic that they use to f with your mind. It's easy enough and I've used it a few times as a party trick, you'd be amazed at how a few general statements can make you seem like some sort of insightful guru.

Although in this case I don't think fear of death came into it, she couldn't accept that her rival was a better sh*g than she was and that was all her ex was interested in.This must have been in about 94/95 because at the time Celine Dion's "Pour que tu m'aimes encore" was a "tube" as they say here. It was all so coincidental because this was the exact same scenario.

If something is 'remarkable' isn't it customary to 'remark' on it...? :-)

I went in....the only information I gave out was my date of birth and some of the things that was said could never in a million years be guessed...nothing like you favourite cat was such and such..just talking about my current issues, and where they are going etc....i was stunned.....spooky

1) Like what?

2) Did it only come about after a serious of very vague questions that could apply to a lot of people that eventually got narrowed down?

3) Has she won the lottery? If not, why not?

nope...the only thing I said to her was my DoB.......and just sat there and took my own notes.....she describe situations, recent situations very accurately that to me, were not really vague and could not have been guessed..nothing was done as a process of elimination either

[revolution saint]

If I were a genuine clairvoyant then I wouldn't waste that talent on sideshows like readings. I'd steal your credit card details and pin numbers. Or I'd use it to be legitmately successful. Of course there may be genuine clairvoyants around and that's why we don't know about them.

 

Personally I can't see how it can possibly true though.

oh I agree. I went out of curiosity and promised myself I would not get into leading questions etc...there were no questions and some of the things she said were only accurate to me and how she come straight out with stuff was amazing......guess something just cant be explained

[Crab Lungs]

Haha... I know what you mean. When I was a lot, lot younger, I visited one who had no idea who I was or had any details about me (and I didn't visit with a friend, so there was little chance them discovering anything about me) yet for some reason, they seemed to be able to pluck out the most obscurest little facts about me, some things which only I and maybe a few people knew.

 

Bizarre stuff, eh?

[scotty]

Did she have any of your details before you went? Name/address/phone number or anything? Its amazing what you can find out with a few quick searches on any of those.

 

And are you absolutely certain she isnt a member of this forum?

nope. all she knew was my first name before going....and then my DoB when I got there..at no point did i tell her my address, phone number, where I live, work, go out, if had a missus or a wife or kids........nothing

[Matthew Le God]

Have you watched the cold reading video posted earlier?

[scotty]

If you booked an appointment, surely she would have had your phone number?

[Thedelldays]

Have you watched the cold reading video posted earlier?

 

yes...and then went to the place and cant explain how she would just go straight to things that are real......and give letters of initials......

example, me and the missus have split (for good, who knnows) and she described the snags we had and why we fell out quite accurately.....and without the process of elimination...it was spooky...and other things..she mentioned about my mum (which I will not go in to) that simply could not have been guessed.....

[Thedelldays]

nope.

I even called from my mates mobile when I called them the other day (not intentional)

[Deppo]

Bizarre stuff, eh?

 

No.

[Deppo]

Google/Facebook is the clairvoyant's best friend.

[scotty]

Out of interest, did she happen to predict that someone called Deppo would be banned from an internet forum sometime soon? Again?

infact she did say something about the interweb jester departing us for a couple of weeks...

odd

[Deppo]

So you admit that they just point out the obvious then?

[Gingeletiss]

i am just back....remarkable is all i have to say

 

I bet she saw you coming!

Mrs D saw someone from your neck of the woods many years ago. Told her lot of things she had told no-one. Very remarkable and we're both skeptics.

Yes he was the chap that conned us on the Russina roulette programme.

I haven't been to a clairvoyant for over 30 years but years ago when I ended my first long term relationship I went to said lady clairvoyant and she was brilliant. Not everything she said came to pass but an awful lot has done. I recall when I saw her having already put in an offer on a house in Southampton that she said could see me living north of Winchester. I ended up buying a house 6 months later in Whitchurch. Loads of other stuff also came to pass. A lovely lady she was too, she was in her 70's then. She was the wife of a Greek Orthodox priest. I guess I was lucky that I went to a real clairvoyant.

 

I reckon that you get as much information that you need and if you are desperately unhappy, you are more likely to be given information that will comfort you. The happier you are the less benefit you have in going. I took quite a few people (unhappy ladies ) to see her.

women being unhappy makes you happy?
