[Sticks]

A number of them are skilled in cold reading techniques which makes you think they are psychic when they are actually frauds.

The magician James Randi has demonstrated this over and over again. He even did one trick where he got people to fill in personal information for a personalised horoscope and then gave them cards which seemed to describe each person. He then got them to swap cards and they found out that all the cards were exactly the same. James Randi then pointed to the questionnaires which were unopened. He had not looked a them. It showed just how much there was in horoscopes, i.e nothing what so ever.

I have read of some people who devised a special test to see if the psychic was genuine, and they failed. The test was a reference to someone close to them who had died. The psychic referred to either a parent or a sibling, when in fact it was a pet.

There is no need to be afraid of them, there is no evidence of psychic powers whatsoever.

Which brings us to Silvia Brown, who told a couple live on TV that their missing son had been killed, and then a few years later he was found ALIVE and kept prisoner.

Nuff said?
