[Suze]

I remember someone telling me once, that when people are queueing to go in to readings in halls or chatting whilst waiting, that scouts are sent amongst them to pick up on snippets of convos that may help in readings. I don't know how true that is or not, but it does sound feasible to me.

That sounds very feasible to me.

These con artists pick up on something, anything to plant seeds in your mind that can be exploited.

..there was one on youtube when they got some information from people through questionnaires and then searched information on the internet on them..(behind the scenes..)..I'll see if I can find it for you Suze, but it's quite a while ago since I found it, so I'm not sure if I'll be able to....

Thanks Ammi. I'll watch it on my other computer later, as I can't get sound on this one.

EDIT: Clicked it anyway and see I don't need sound as it has subtitles.

Yes, I do.

I have been to a fortune teller a few times and they have always been right about everything. I am sure that many are fake but the one I go to definitely has the power.

She is a hand reader.

[Ramsay]

Its all cold reading

[Saph]

My mum went to a fortune teller last summer and everything she said would happen, did happen, so I do believe them, but some are probably more reliable than others.

[Livia]

I don't believe in them. I think they're con artists who rely on people's willingness to grasp at straws and see coincidence as some kind of ESP.

My sister went to a spiritual medium who also does tarot quite recently.. I'm quite the sceptic, but this woman was amazing. So I don't really know

[Vanessa]

My last horoscope said to watch out, because someone close to me isn't who they appear to be. How true!

[Lee.]

Yeah, the one my sis went to was not vague in the slightest. She said the room was full of spirits and csme up with names, places dates, causes of deaths etc.

That kind of stuff completely throws me off then because I'm not at all a believer in God or spiritual/religious

..I guess you don't know how many she got right Lee..?..

Yeah, I'm the same Niamh.. but there's too much to these things to simply be fobbed off as con artists

She got everything right.. there's no guessing with this woman. She's quite grumpy too apparently.. if you don't take what she's saying, she just moves on without probing further.

She told my sis she had a paul who had died in a carcrash, my sis said she couldn't think who thst could be, and the woman snapped at her "well he's here so I can assure you you know him"

We had a family friend who died in a crash about 8 years ago.. my sis just hadn't thought about him in a while and didnt know him as well as my mum and I did.

..yeah, I left at that point but I have to admit now that she was right though...he turned down all of my proposals and got an injunction out against me....

...no, she honestly didn't Girth..not one thing..I was with her for a few seconds when she asked me to hold the tarot cards then give them back to her..and she didn't read them, she just kept shuffling them...

..yeah, that's quite spooky Lee..that's why I left and would never go again, I don't really want to know anything..I just went to make up the numbers and I thought it would be fun...

[MTVN]

Not sure, have never been to one and don't intend to, could be something to it I suppose but by the very nature of it there's bound to be a lot of conmen, deception, trickery etc.
