***** This prize can no longer be used as an excuse. The believer side has also had a similar prize for decades for any magician to replicate what some mediums do under the same conditions. No takers so far. The Randi one did have takers but were refused for many years.Not one was accepted until it ended.
***** No magician has to date yet replicated what physical mediums do. Give me one example please. Bear in mind that they have to be done under the SAME conditions. No access to the premises beforehand and a bodily search for props. Now go ahead and give me ONE example.
Easily dude , easily , just look how defensive she seems to be getting when being asked normal questions , questions that she is going to be asked all the time for the rest of her "Career" whats even worse is this supposedly being a person to bring comfort to others , what a terrible attitude she seems to have too.
The Randi challenge was retired in 2015. It had one winner (which was an April fools gag by the foundation itself). & Leigh Catherine backed out of taking the test less than ten minutes after this aired with a predictably pathetic excuse.
@@paranormalpabs3745 LOL no he did not. Nobody ever passed Randi's challenge (excluding the aforementioned April Fools prank by Seth Raphael in 2008), nor ever will, since Randi died in 2020.
The prize was a publicity stunt and does not exist. There is no account of any psychic taking the challenge as they were well aware that it was a stunt.
No one ever took it, the money was real. In his memory there is now an organization (James Randi Foundation) that funds skeptics to take on the "New Wave" of kooks.
Keep on living in denial. The prize was real. The money was real. Nobody stepped up to the challenge because they all knew they'd be found out as crooks when they failed.
Mate... Type in James Randi on youtube. He had a show where people took the challenges and no one won. "no account of any psychic taking the challenge as they were well aware that it was a stunt." Do your research before chattin a load of shit!
Natalie bingo. This is what i was looking for. So she never took that guy's offer to send her to the states huh? 😅 i mean not like she had a chance obviously. Randi kicks ass!
"In an appearance on ITV's This Morning, on September 27, 2011, magician Paul Zenonchallenged Welsh psychic Leigh Catherine (aka Leigh-Catherine Salway) to take the one million dollar challenge and she accepted. Phillip Schofield, a This Morning host, stated that the program would pay for her flights to the US to be tested.[23] Salway subsequently backed out of the challenge, claiming it was "dodgy" and "set up to make it impossible to pass".[24]" from en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_Million_Dollar_Paranormal_Challenge Yeah, it's impossible to pass because it's designed to see if you're legitimate lol
When you challenge them to prove their “powers” they say they can’t switch it on and off at will, yet when they have a show arranged in advance with paying customers they can always switch it on then. They never get up on the stage and say “sorry, I don’t feel the power tonight”.
she explained, she only had time for an interview OR a reading - not both - and if she did the reading, she might have to expose phil's cheating on his wife with his 15yo bf, which he would simply deny, anyway, satisfying the confirmation bias of idiot sceptics.
A friend of mine used to own a printing business. A psychic came to him to have some business cards printed. "When will they be ready?" the customer asked. My friend responded with 'You should be able to tell me when they'll be ready!'
I love how uncomfortable this charlatan is during the whole programme. Her Whole body language is screaming get me out of here!!! And she never took up the offer to prove herself.
k0smon If they are "psychic" then the testing should be no problem. If the results can fall within the realm of chance, then anyone would have a chance at taking the money.
Anthony Johnson Having attended two materialization seances and talking to them myself, I am sure I can communicate with the dead. I have read much psychic literature. I have been around psychics and mediums for much of my life. I do not have any faith in the bible.
they do. the law doesn't recognise the industry because 95% are fakes, but real psychics do work with police to provide valuable clues. watch sensing murder or psychic detectives.
I see he deleted his comment. His proof that psychics solve crimes was that there was a reality TV show about it. Scotland Yard, the FBI, LAPD, and many other law enforcement agencies have expressed on many occasions that they are unaware of any crime ever being solved due to involvement from a psychic.
Derren brown does this, he pulled my wife on stage and gave a very scaryily accurate reading whilst all the time saying "remember this isn't real and its all fake". He knew a lot of stuff.
Yeah, but... is it still fake when they're 100% right? It's weird, but it happens. Look how he freaked out the news lady. She wasn't focused on fake or not. She got swept up in the accuracy for her circumstances. You could tell she was getting a little woozy from the barrage of accurate facts.

@@douglasnakamura6753 I wouldn't know. They gve me healing on my knee and they didn't ask for anything. That's as far as I went. How much do they charge when you join?
@@douglasnakamura6753 I know someone who does that because I believe there's something in the Bible that speaks of giving ten per cent of your income. That's nothing to do with mediumship. Mediums don't necessarily believe in God or have a religion but I think in the Spiritualist Church you can simply attend the meetings or services without having to pay a penny. You can also go along for healing and you won't be asked for money. Mediums who work as a business are bound by law. I don't know why people always expect them to give their services for free. In many cases they charge less than the plumber who tried to rip me off for ten minutes work.
it's reflection. magicians are tricksters and simply project their trickery onto others, in their own mind. however, they neglect that genuine psychics - such as deb webber, kelvin cruickshank, john edward, matt fraser, etc - do not use tricks or cold readings, but are very specific with intimate details they have no other way of knowing. any viewer of sensing murder, or psychic detectives will see real results no magician could ever produce. magicians are fakes. most psychics are fakes. some are genuine. Leigh is calling for the industry to be cleaned up so people can have more confidence. has nobody commenting even listened to this clip?

She's pissed because he is being very disrespectful. He can't hide his anger and his need to be right. Childish and rude. This is not a respectful discussion.
I would think it's important in an interview to have two sides represented without reproach from the other, i.e. respect, even if you disagree, let them have their say. I know nothing of these two people, but in theory that's how interviews should be conducted.
Then you're wrong. Dara O'Briain did a skit about homeopathy that explained exactly why that is idiotic. You don't need to give credence to moronic ideas that can't prove their truth by publicising them. Respect is earned. These people fleece money from the gullible & the vulnerable. There's nothing worthy of respect about that.
She might actually believe that she is able to read minds of the dead. I would love this to be true. Can you imagine that you alone can tap into the'minds' of the deceased in their ethereal plane and ttanslate their mental musings to a living audience!! Not sure how having a photo of them helps.
"Are All Psychics Fake?" - Interesting question. Let me put a few other interesting questions out there: "Is magic real?" - "Do witches fly on broomsticks?" - "Can wizards cast fireballs?" - These are the questions we should be asking in the 21st century!
I think the problem with the question "Is Magick real?" we just don't have any idea what Magick is. There are those who will tell you they have ALL of the answers, when in reality they know NOTHING. We just dont know. There are strange experiences to be had, but generally these experiences RAISE more questions than answers. And as in the question itself, it is such a big question and vague in itself to begin with. "Can wizards cast fireballs?"- If i saw someone shoot fireballs out of their hand, i would want to see the gizmo that made it possible. Because there would have to be a scientific explanation for it. Again, we simply don't know enough to give a hard and fast explanation.
johntrevy1 "When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me."
YouDontSeeMe If from a certain point of interpretation that you have taken, then yes they are all frauds. (And there are loads, but Again we DONT know what magick is).
Hello. Yes there are definitely con artists and fakes. There may even be a certain amount of deluded people, however, I personally as a psychic never 'read' anyone's body language etc or asked questions or fished for answers. My job as I saw it was to be a person of integrity who delivers a specific message from those in spirit. My accuracy rate was high in terms of peoples' responses to what they were told. Now for the question, why do psychics charge money? Well, in my case, it was my job of work, my way to pay my bills and keep a roofe over my head. Ask a plumber, Joiner, or othger tradesperson or service person to come to you and work for free and you'll get your answer! One of the most satisfying aspects for me was bringing people closure or comfort through my readings. YES... among psychics and mediums there are those who prey on the vulnerable but....don't lump genuine people in with these fakes! As for these stage magicians who think everyone is conning someone else, they are so skeptical and determined to debag genuine psychics that they lose track of the genuine people.
Oh yes? Schizophrenia is a mental illness caused by a chemical imbalancein the brain which can be rectified by certain prescribed drugs. Psychic (from the Greek 'psyche') information about people you don't know and which is verified by the 'stranger' you give the message to is a long long way away from psychiatric illness in that it is coherent 'though un-sorted pieces of personal info to be either verified at the time or later on when the person reflects on what was given. Thank you for your rapid, if unfounded analysis of my spiritual gifts. :)
Hello evil B, unfortunately, as honest as I am and try to be, neither I, nor other 'true' psychics could convince mister Randi, because his tests are always 'skewed' in favour of no one winning the million dollars...a bit like the coconut shy's or other stalls at fairgrounds. As for the million dollars...money's a necessity to pay bills and keep a roof over your head, but as long as I can enjoy life, have my health and be happy, then that's all I really need. We (humans) are all psychic!!! S'true....even you! The thing is, some people (IMO) are born with the psychic abilites turned on and others, like myself had to develop these later in life. Finally, my job is NOT to convince anyone. You (general public) either believe or you don't...end of story. :)
Actually the burden of proof lies on you to prove the supernatural ability you claim to have, NOT on the 'cynics' or on the general public to prove otherwise. You're making genuinely astounding claims, Mr Java; that you can communicate with dead people! Astounding claims require astounding evidence to back them up. You offer none. If I were to claim that I could run 100 metres in 2 seconds, an astounding claim, people would quite rightly challenge me to prove it. The James Randi test is designed to wheedle out fraudsters and the deluded. Anyone with genuine magical powers (for that is what they would be) would pass the test easily. Plenty have tried, all have failed miserably. It's possible you BELIEVE you have magic powers. That perhaps shields you from being an out-and-out fraud, but certainly puts you into the deluded camp.
I took a while to understand it and finally did and believe in you. In fact anyone can talk to the dead. The fake ones are the ones who claim the dead can talk back. 😬
Derren Brown went to the US, where he was unknown at the time, and advertised as a medium. About a dozen people showed up and he told them all sorts of things about their dead relatives. Several were in tears and thanking him. He then told them that he was not a medium, and told them how he did it, ending with a warning to them to be careful of mediums. The guy is brilliant. btw, some mediums don't even know they are cold reading. There are some that are sincere but are reading cues without knowing.
I believe some really think that they can do what they do, but when you are "talking to dead people and can hear them" you are ether fraud or a schizophrenic.
"There are some that are sincere but are reading cues without knowing.". They're the ones who have been brainwashed into thinking they can talk to the dead.
He gave them all a personal reading. He handed each one while they were standing in a circle. He told them to read it and if he'd given anyone the wrong reading to pass it to the person next to them. They all said they had been given the correct reading. Every one was exactly the same.
I saw a video of a guy who was pretended to be a palm reader for some jollies at university and after a few years convinced himself he was an actual doing incredibly accurate readings based on people's reactions. About 10 years in he wanted to prove to himself how good he was by telling people the exact opposite of what the palms 'said'. To his surprise the people reacted in exactly the same way as they had done before. He then realised that it was all about the presentation.
he's fake. relying on tricks. or perhaps he doesn't realise he is psychic. fakes are the worst - like actors pretending to be doctors. the best GENUINE psychics, include: john edward, deb webber, kelvin cruickshank and matt fraser. watch them for REAL psychic demonstrations: th-cam.com/video/NF7g0d4VSYQ/w-d-xo.htmlm26s
" john edward, deb webber, kelvin cruickshank and matt fraser." All outed frauds who can't even approach the level of accuracy Derren Brown can while admitting he uses no psychic powers. You really do need to shut the fuck up Superdunce. Your hot reading links are horseshit.
@@drakocarrion And there are SO many people out there, willing to prey on the downtroden and unfortunate people in our society. They have no conscience.
They not all fake, most are bt some have bewildered skeptics, many psychics will not touch that reward money as it's forbidden in any way to make profit from your gift, you don't need to be an expert to know this. Anyone who does their research on the subject knows even a genuine psychic will not show off for a huge profit, the gift is to constitute to the human race, not abuse it
If a court considers a foot print proof of murder than at least stop pretending that we have "no proof" of the afterlife. There is plenty of evidence. Even scientific. Even people that die and return with evidence is shut down. So tell me smart ass, what do you need to win this million dollar test? In order to prove something you must find it yourself, you cannot rely on others to prove things for you.
@@SLashafrass show me one person that has died and returned with evidence of the afterlife? In order to win the prize you need to demonstrate your supposed supernatural power in a controlled environment and it needs to be repeatable.
@@stuartsummers1303 There's literally a show. 3 seasons of about a hundred people with proof that while they were dead they knew what street the ambulance took and so on.

@@SLashafrass I have researched claims of the afterlife before, I haven't came across that show. Where what they claimed tested and repeated? What is the name of the show?
I actually had a reading with her about 10 years ago. Spent half of it bragging now gifted she was. Can safely say none of her ‘ predictions’ came true 🤣
+Babycakes Carson I know exactly how she feels. I think most people can relate, if you've ever been accused of something. It's frustrating when you're being attacked and it's awkward. It's hard for me to watch someone being attacked like that because of how I grew up, it happened to me all the time.
stepfanie Carson Yeah, you're right there are a lot of psychics who intentionally scam people. However, that doesn't mean all of them do. I just think it's messed up to assume that she or anyone else is scamming people. In my opinion if your intention is to help people, and you truly believe you have psychic abilities then you aren't scamming people. Also people willingly pay, so it's their decision.
Very interesting to watch a professional liar at work, the eyes are very dark and the body language is very masculine for a woman and the way she rolls her eyes in distain trying to give the impression he is lying is very manipulative to say the least.
I haven't read all the responses, but think it should be noted that she ultimately refused to take Randi's Million Dollar Challenge, I guess it was too sciency and she thought she would fail it, which she would have.
Randi does not accept challenges from real mediums. This is a known fact as there is a reciprocal $1M challenge from Victor Zammit to Randi to replicate what his medium does. So far he cannot do so.
***** You are so right about that. A number of people who have agreed to take the test got half way thru when Randi just stopped communicating with them. There is no recourse because you had to sign away all your rights.
I love how she willingly admits that there are frauds (Not her of course) and informs us that we the public are not fools. How can she possibly be fake when she says things like that? A case of "Always be sincere, even if you have to fake it".

@@frankyjas5184 Yes this guy is magician Paul Zenon who lost his job with Daily Mail after a slander article he wrote about psychic Sally Morgan soon after this. The newspaper had to pay her £125 000.00 in damages. He has since disappeared.
I love Paul Zenon....Straight to the point and his views tell us all about 'cold reading'....Thank you Paul, for enlightening the public to cold reading and bringing the falsehoods of mediumship to the general public. And thank you again ❤
When Groucho Marx was at a seance, the medium said to him, "I am in contact with the spirit world. Ask any question and the spirit world will answer." Groucho said, "What's the capital of Minnesota?"
She’s such a liar. ‘I don’t even know what cold reading is’. Anyone claiming to be a psychic will have faced that accusation. Why do people still fall for such nonsense/woo? Quoting anecdotes from people you’ve duped is not evidence.
+Bert Turbaville... great reply! The only thing I disagree with is that I feel (even in 2018) that most people haven't "grown out of it". On a daily basis I still run into more people who believe in Ghosts, Goblins, God, The Devil, Psychics, bigfoot etc..than those who operate with reason and rationale.
the only proven liar is the magician, who was successfully sued by a psychic. there are plenty of genuine psychics who do not do cold readings, but provide intimate details of the departed, without any clues whatsoever. plenty of sceptics have converted after a reading. it's the fakes who bring the industry into disrepute, and if any of you were to actually listen to her, she is advocating cleaning it up. one example of this is "from skeptic to believer - news anchor gets first time reading from a medium" by matt fraser. there are plenty more examples. atheists don't hate unicorns, leprechauns, or elves - because they are not real. they do hate God, because he is real.
superkiwistar she didn’t sue because he wasn’t correct she sued because he’d given away her ‘trade secrets’ in the same way as if she’d told everyone how he does his tricks and ultimately devaluing them. Your other assertions are incorrect also. You also need to learn about burden of proof.
i can see you will soon be parting with your money. i am more familiar with the legal process than most. The Daily Mail has APOLOGISED and agreed to pay £125,000 in libel damages to a TV psychic it FALSELY accused of using a hidden earpiece to scam a theatre audience. The article was by the magician PAUL ZENON. The solicitor Brid Jordan appeared on behalf of the Daily Mail publisher, Associated Newspapers, and APOLOGISED unreservedly for the hidden earpiece claim "which it accepts is UNTRUE". -- in a defamation case, a psychic need not prove anything other than their reputation is damaged by your comments. easy. the burden of proof is on you to prove the truth of your argument. you may convince yourself, but a court of law is different. she will produce satisfied customers. your lawyer will do as zenons did. plead guilty. offer an apology. and pay damages. your legal expenses will be around a hundred grand anyway, before judgement, assuming you use an average solicitor and barrister. if you intend representing yourself, please let me know so i can attend.
superkiwistar so in other words they didn’t have evidence that she used one specific technique even although she probably did. Maybe you’re right - psychic abilities are true - my psychic powers tell me I won’t be parting with any money. I feel a message coming from the other side about your post - do the letters ‘B’ and ‘S’ mean anything to you?
I hadn't realised he was gone. I knew he was getting on in years but I missed the news of his passing. Having read your comment, I googled him and yes, he passed away two years ago aged 92. Sad news. You're right, he left us a great legacy. R.I.P. James.

The short answer is yes. Some of them don't know and have fooled themselves into thinking they can talk to the dead but they are all fake and some of them are predators.
Until they go on JREF telly and utterly fail in front of the country. You gotta think that will take them down a peg, despite their on-TV guffaws that "the equipment must be interfering because it never fails at home."
@@A-Milkdromeda-Laniakea-Hominid people will always find a way to protect their beliefs even when they have no justification for them. That's why religion is still so prevalent around the world despite there being not one speck of proof.
Completely agreed. The answer to the question: "are phychics are frauds?" is yes, but only to the extend that many of them have also fooled themselves. There are true frauds out there. Those who know it's all bollocks and are actively lying. But most psychics have fooled themselves first, and others second. Most of them are not lying when they say they have a gift. They are wrong, but they aren't lying.
Orson Welles discussed this during an interview once...some individuals are so good at reading people, they become convinced they have psychic abilities.
agree, some delude themselves into thinking that are actually psychic or that what they are giving the clients is exactly what they want to hear which justifies the duplicity in their own minds. Many of the clients want to believe it is real themselves so badly that they will ignore common sense and all the misses of the psychic.
After over 50 years and thousands of failed applicants JREF determined the Paranormal Challenge was no longer productive. After so many were exposed, con-artists were no longer taking up the challenge and the organization was spending too much resources handling applicants with mental issues tastefully. So they were able to reassign the funds held aside for this to helping others who expose the con-artists.
They talk about body language, , her rolling her tongue whilst listening to him talking, the side eying, and the kicking of the legs at the end. She was on the ropes , and she knew it. She wanted out of there 😂
Wow his fake reading example was perfectly accurate for me with the exception of the recurring dream. Its amazing how easily we're fooled into thinking we're special, when most of those kind of statements literally can apply to almost everyone. Same idea with horoscopes.
It didn't touch on me at all. I'm an introvert don't have a friend who's recently screwed me over, never hurt my left leg no scar, never had an older man figure with the letter B it was all wrong
yeah these things don't work on everyone, but they're generalized enough to work for just enough people that they can falsely appear to actually be doing something more than just manipulating people
It all works best for cons when people start "interpreting" what the con is saying instead of letting them tell them EXACTLY what the details are and it be something they never knew, but can proven. My challenge still stands. I will pay $35,000, (my life savings at the moment) to any psychic who contacts me without 10 minutes of this post, by email or phone and answers the questions I have in my head that I want answered. If you are truly psychic, you should know my name, how to contact me (ask a ghost to find out for you if it is too difficult, since you can talk to the dead, too.) and give me the answers without me saying more than "Hello". Starting... NOW.
It’s funny how when the spirits are trying to give their name, the psychic can only get vague bits of info “I’m getting a ‘J’ or a ‘G’ name...” but as soon as they’ve got specifics out the way, the spirits can then ramble off lots of specific (and generic) detail in fluency, eg “she’s saying you’re loved, she is with you at night and you’ll hear her when you’re in your bed. She’s saying she’s happy now and in a better place and no longer in any pain...”. Why can the spirits say all this info but can’t get their own name out? 🙄
I’ve always had an idea to visit a psychic, get a reading, and then when it comes time to pay, I’d refuse, saying, “I came in here with no intention of paying you, so the fact that you couldn’t sense that means you’re a fake, and therefore you don’t deserve payment.”
How can something be general and specific at the same time? Simple. Say I tell you "I'm sensing something. You've been having money troubles." On the surface, that is a very general statement. Who doesn't have money troubles? But say you had recently gotten behind in bills due to an injury that caused you to take unpaid time off work. In your head, you're going to think that is what I was I must have been sensing. To you, it feels like I just made a very specific claim.
I'm sorry that I misunderstood you. It is sometimes hard to tell by just reading the print. That said there is no need to call me names. That's what an ass like Trump would do!
I have not read any comments below. I claim to be psychic. Here is my prediction. She did not win the money. She never even showed up for the challenge. How did I do?
+k0smon The test is most certainly real. Live examples are on TH-cam if you care to look and get an education. And to the best of my knowledge it is still on the table by the James Randi Foundation.
+1gallimaufry Most certainly not. It was never real. A lot of claims by the unamazing Randi, but it was just another one of his magic tricks. You are not up to date. The 'challenge' has been terminated. Randi has resigned.
+k0smon First off Randi retired, not resigned. Big difference. Second, the challenge as it was is no longer offered. To many crackpots wasting the foundations time. The million is however still up for grabs. Just tighter restrictions on applications. Go to his website for the explanation. I am really interested to know what makes you think the tests are not real but these psychics are. As I said before, TH-cam is full of videos showing the tests. Just because you do not like the results, you choose to dismiss them. By the way, Randi never had any direct involvement in the tests. He sent "negative vibrations" according to psychics who took the test. RIGHT!
+1gallimaufry See the article "The Myth of the Million Dollar Challenge" The big red flag is that you must sign away all your rights to sue. That way, Randi can do as he pleases as he has no obligation to anyone as they cannot sue him if he screws with them. The 'tests' were done over time and not subject to a YT segment. Randi's deal was a setup to entice people into thinking it was an honest test when the reality was that it was setup so no one could win.
How come the spirits only give one letter at a time, ‘I’m getting a ‘J’, is there a’J’ name anywhere?’, 😂😂, couldn’t they just tell you the whole info?
They don't, they are far more specific than initials unless they were known as that here. That's a 'hook - in' used by charlatans. A woman's name beginning with 'M' is a surefire one expanding it to 'starts with an `M`and an ' A' Mare sounding' and in populations with high numbers of Roman Catholics 'Mary'. The other eye-rolls I have heard are "Someone who had connections with the sea, maybe docks" in Liverpool. "An elder who had a budgie" in Lancashire and first position has to go to the daddy of them all "I am picking up a person who died with a problem to do with the chest"🤔 Evvverry single hand... 🙄 😂
@@debramoss2267 LOL they are ALL Charlatans. Not one has ever been proven. The supernatural has no evidence. The JREF award still has not been claimed. Go get it if you can prove it. $1 M in cash. No strings.

There was a local psychic fair, I was bored, so I decided to go get a reading -first time in my life. I researched the psychics and found the one with the best credentials and reviews and off I went. She said I'm under a lot of stress from my job and was grieving the loss of a close family member. Well, I'm retired, aged 55 so there is a good chance one of my parents have passed away (55+30=85 >> average age of people when they die)....but lo and behold, both parents and all close family members in great health. She then suggested someone had cancer...nope, wrong again beee-atch! The guessing game went on and on, each time she looked at my face for a reaction. In the end, she said someone with black hair who was a teacher is watching over me. Well, nope, only one teacher in my extended family and he was actually a principal when he died. All the questions convinced me they play a guessing game with you and know the odds of how often 'something' is somehow in your life.
Exactly ,I do it all the time (for fun) For example let me tell you, someone very close to you has just lost a pet, and it has been quite devastating for them, not sure if it is was a cat or a dog, but the little dear was white. You have had problems with pains in your knees or back lately, and this has been worrying you, but I can tell you that you shouldn't worry too much, as it will pass and there will not be any need for an operation, as foreseen by a physician. A close relative will be visiting soon, and there will be great news for your family, I see a period of joy and happiness that will bring your family together. I could go on for hours lol
I have often wondered how they'd weasel their way out of it if you just went along with their first answer to everything & then revealed you'd been making the whole thing up at the end.
If the "psychic" hasn't researched you, one of the main things that stuffs up a reading is giving only yes or no type answers and not feeding them all the extra info they rely on for a cold reading. There are some good example of this on TH-cam . It soumds like you might have done this also.
@D Fraser What a load of BS. In 180 years of modern mediumship not one single supernatural/paranormal phenomenon has ever been definitively proven genuine. The math isn't hard, the fact you never charged is irrelevant you still do considerable damage by changing people's perceptions and memories of their loved ones and replacing them with ones not based on reality, psychics and mediums are immoral, you're grief vultures.
My ex claimed (still claims) that she is a psychic. I never saw an ounce of psychic ability, through she did try to convince me (not very well). She has social media pages, selling her ability. She is a total fraud. I think it’s disgusting.
Sammy M what's half way through the conversation she didn't finish before he jumped into the middle of what she was saying. She was just about to tell what she says to peopl
I saw Sally and have seen a couple of other well known psychics (in theatre settings) and these experiences completely convinced me that what I was seeing was cold reading. It was even more obvious than you might expect and I couldnt believe that other ppl there couldn't see it. Maybe if someone wants to believe something enough it blinds them to what is actually happening in front of them.
When you have bought a ticket to one of these shows using a credit card, they have the ability to look you up & give specific details (also known as a hot read). Private detectives do this all the time & nobody thinks they have magical powers.
@@drakocarrion i can well believe it. At Sally she asked people to drop a,piece of paper into a bowl on the way in with the name of a loved one and a message. She brought the bowl on stage and would go to it whenever things weren't going well. Which they were not. She "misfired" so many times. Desperstely sweeping the room when a particular name that "popped in" drew a blank with the audience, changeing the name, throwing out names like a scattergun. Ppl were coming forward with the most tenuous links and then being cold read. She wasn't even good at making it look convincing.. I went in with a (fairly) open mind and came out feeling like I needed a shower.
@@traceychalkley9946 spiritual meetings are always on a Tuesday! why? they spend the weekend studying the bereavement section in your local paper, go to the town where the meetings is booked, then just . sit in your local pub, cafe, and listen to the local gossip .. so by Tuesday they'll know all about that poor mother, who's just lost a child. and turns up at the spiritual meeting on Tuesday ABSOLUTELY DESPERATE to be able to contact them. it's sick and twisted and all its about is making money .. Read about Doris Stokes . it's exactly what they do .
It is super easy to debunk a psychic: 1) enter their shop 2) ask them "what is my name?". Show me one psychic that has ever been able to pass that test. I am waiting.
Your friends call you Tony but your mother calls you Anthony. You were slim until your mid twenties but are now classed as clinically obese and also slightly balding. You like watching conspiracy videos on you tube but don’t actually believe any of them
@@dom85ross interesting, you managed to get all of this wrong. Definitely not psychic material. None calls me Tony, not obese, not balding (too much hair actually) and I run away from conspiracy theories, I prefer facts.
if there were any real psychics in this world, you're unlikely to find them working as a con-artist or whatever, they would just do as you said, so you'll find them in a multi-million dollar mansion somewhere living the life out of that shit-ton of lottery money.
This girl has conned herself into belief. The major aspect of the thing Paul is talking about is that we have people preying upon the broken hearts of others who have lost loved ones and are desperate to comunicate with them again. These con-artists use that to convince people that what they are hearing is actually the voices of the people they have lost. That is cruel, lies and horrible. And it should be exposed at all turns.
k0smon Well considering that in our history of pyschics and mediums there has not been one, not one, instance of proof of either life after death or any human ever to have any sort of extra sensory perception, pyschic abilities or powers to speak with the dead. Not one, ever. James Randi has a very famous challenge to any psychic out there that can prove their "powers" none have ever proved any such powers. You show me one instance of proof and I will believe you.
Jammsbro: If you want to hear the actual voices of those they have lost, you have to go to a materialization seance. A medium can only relay what she receives.
k0smon There has never been any proof at all of any existence after death. None, ever. If there had been it would change the world and would not be a niche belief market (one where it only works if you believe in it). If these people could actually prove that there is life after death they would do so, yet under every single test, challenge and example ever shown they have failed miserably. Every single one. You know why? Because they are lying, to themselves and others.
Jammsbro It depends on what you will accept as proof. Every seance, every medium contacting spirit, ghost sighting, EVP, are proof to me, but not to you. Mediums were tested at U. of Arizona, and for TV programs in US, AU, and there were winners each time. You make outrageous claims, using words like never, and every. You have no way of knowing this. So calm down and get real. You are not all-knowing as you try to pretend you are.
don't you know how it works? spirits are not always around - they are not omnipresent. it's not an on-demand sort of thing. one psychic i attended, couldn't pick anything specific up for the first 15 minutes or so. from an audience of 2000. he was quite open and honest about this. we waited. it's hard to tune into specific frequencies. it's like tuning a radio with weak stations. spirits do not have much energy - it's not like poltergeist. but, then he started getting specific messages. impressive. but, if they were to focus on readings, they would have no time for an interview. i thought leigh explained this very well.
thanks for your question. i think you will find these interesting and informative: th-cam.com/video/NF7g0d4VSYQ/w-d-xo.htmlm25s th-cam.com/video/V-K4PCnJDxg/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/1sGpxUIhSkk/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/heTTHDJkjuU/w-d-xo.htmlm52s th-cam.com/video/Z_eqAcA6upk/w-d-xo.html all real psychics say anyone can learn how to do it, and it doesn't need to cost a cent. we know life exists after death, as expected - but, scientists in the uk, germany, and us have confirmed this, through various studies. www.express.co.uk/news/science/670781/There-IS-life-after-DEATH-Scientists-reveal-shock-findings-from-groundbreaking-study after digesting these links, if you have further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
superkiwistar Perhaps the bogey-men should digitize their signals and increase their power output. That way, the messages would be clearer to the suckers out there.
The superdunce troll strikes again. No need to bother watching his links. They're always to interviews with gullible twats like himself or hot readings & his bunk filler newspaper articles are laughable. Especially when you actually look up the results of the cited "studies" & find out they're proven hoaxes.
Correct mate, i asked a fake psychic who said she was talking to my late father to ask him for his name and where he worked ? she went silent and ended the reading, i said see your a fake she told me to f off. ha ha ha.
Well obviously more dead people, more money for them. Especially when so many bodies were not recovered. It reminds me of Sylvia Brown telling a couple that their son died in water and was in water because they said they had not found his body. The dude was a rescue worker that died in 9/11.
Corpse Party I remember that! I think she went on to say that he drown in the water he was using to put out the fires. Personally, I think he was eaten by the Loch Ness Monster, who just happened to be inside the towers on that day. So there's your water connection right there.
***** LOL You really narrowed it down! I predict trouble in the world somewhere sometime soon. Ah but no one can predict what it will materialize into. XD
Some did know about 911 its something that was supposed to happen just like Obama will be the last u.s president it's suppose to happen it can change but Most likely it won't.
It's nine years later and the One Million Dollar prize from the James Randi Foundation has not been claimed. Many claim that they will take the challenge, but never do. Leigh Catherine, either never took the challenge or she failed the challenge. It's very difficult to produce proof and evidence of something that does not exist.
@@ThereIsNoLord I agree. I just have noticed rich guys tends to go for young women regardless of how old they are themselves. And by her activity on psychic she is either a scammer or delusional at best, that two red flags imo.
drakocarrion As far as we know there isn't one but there still could be a real psychic out there Since there are more than 7 billion people on this planet it is super hard to disprove this for a 100% but I'm for a 99.99% sure they don't exist.
Joost Don't talk such utter tripe. If someone GENUINELY had psychic powers it'd be huge news & they'd be a big star considering that literally nobody has psychic powers. You telling me if a man, independently of the technology we have developed to be able to do so, could fly we wouldn't know about it pretty damn sharpish considering it'd be a phenomenon? it's ridiculous to even suggest there are psychics.
drakocarrion Dude I know they aren't real can't you read? I'm just talking about proving this stuf. you can't tell me that you have proof that there isn't one out there.
Joost I don't need to prove there isn't one out there. They don't exist. They're fiction. I can say in exactly the same way as saying there are no fairies & unicorns that there are no psychics & it's 100% correct. Asking me to prove they don't exist is like asking me to prove Spiderman isn't real. It's pure stupidity.
That panicked facial expression she does many times throughout this clip is the exact expression a child does when they're lying and they know that they're about to be caught out.
This simply shows body language analysis should be left to the experts, as it is more likely a result of controlling anger at the rude, loudmouthed, arrogant sceptic. The work of only one of the interviewees has been described by their own publisher in a court of law as "UNTRUE" - and that was the magician. He admits he used to work as a fake psychic - no mention of refunding his clients, though - and continues to ply a trade of deception. Leigh, on the other hand, regularly attends Church, has provided evidence of her ability within the Church for free. The magician doesn't believe he is being watched by spirits and has no fear of consequences of lying in the Afterlife. The psychic does believe she is watched by spirits, and believes in consequences of lying in the Afterlife.
@@superkiwistar FYI numpty, body language experts HAVE analysed this footage & they said Leigh was lying. She doesn't go to church or give readings for free & you are still clueless.

***** This prize can no longer be used as an excuse. The believer side has also had a similar prize for decades for any magician to replicate what some mediums do under the same conditions. No takers so far.
The Randi one did have takers but were refused for many years.Not one was accepted until it ended.
***** No magician has to date yet replicated what physical mediums do.
Give me one example please.
Bear in mind that they have to be done under the SAME conditions.
No access to the premises beforehand and a bodily search for props.

No surprise that years later there's no evidence of her taking the challenge.
The prize was a publicity stunt and does not exist. There is no account of any psychic taking the challenge as they were well aware that it was a stunt.
No one ever took it, the money was real. In his memory there is now an organization (James Randi Foundation) that funds skeptics to take on the "New Wave" of kooks.
Keep on living in denial. The prize was real. The money was real. Nobody stepped up to the challenge because they all knew they'd be found out as crooks when they failed.

"In an appearance on ITV's This Morning, on September 27, 2011, magician Paul Zenonchallenged Welsh psychic Leigh Catherine (aka Leigh-Catherine Salway) to take the one million dollar challenge and she accepted.

When you challenge them to prove their “powers” they say they can’t switch it on and off at will, yet when they have a show arranged in advance with paying customers they can always switch it on then. They never get up on the stage and say “sorry, I don’t feel the power tonight”.
Good point
Brilliant!
Agreed 👍🏻
Even they refer to it as a 'show'. Like any other peice of theatre
Most of them have to meditate to build up energy before arriving for a sitting.

k0smon where did you pick up the idea that its even possible to communicate with the dead? Please do not reference the bible as a valid source.

If they are "psychic" then the testing should be no problem. If the results can fall within the realm of chance, then anyone would have a chance at taking the money.
Anthony Johnson Having attended two materialization seances and talking to them myself, I am sure I can communicate with the dead. I have read much psychic literature. I have been around psychics and mediums for much of my life. I do not have any faith in the bible.

How come psychics don't ever prevent crime?
they do. the law doesn't recognise the industry because 95% are fakes, but real psychics do work with police to provide valuable clues. watch sensing murder or psychic detectives.
Good lord. You actually believe those TV shows? Do you believe everything you watch on TV or just the least reliable BS?
The guy in black jacket is a jerkwad. He is not open to the spirit world. He is rude.
Thats Spidermans job.
I see he deleted his comment. His proof that psychics solve crimes was that there was a reality TV show about it. Scotland Yard, the FBI, LAPD, and many other law enforcement agencies have expressed on many occasions that they are unaware of any crime ever being solved due to involvement from a psychic.
Derren brown does this, he pulled my wife on stage and gave a very scaryily accurate reading whilst all the time saying "remember this isn't real and its all fake". He knew a lot of stuff.
Yeah, but... is it still fake when they're 100% right? It's weird, but it happens. Look how he freaked out the news lady. She wasn't focused on fake or not. She got swept up in the accuracy for her circumstances. You could tell she was getting a little woozy from the barrage of accurate facts.

You can also go along for healing and you won't be asked for money. Mediums who work as a business are bound by law. I don't know why people always expect them to give their services for free. In many cases they charge less than the plumber who tried to rip me off for ten minutes work.

Yes check Penn Teller, and James Randi!
it's reflection. magicians are tricksters and simply project their trickery onto others, in their own mind. however, they neglect that genuine psychics - such as deb webber, kelvin cruickshank, john edward, matt fraser, etc - do not use tricks or cold readings, but are very specific with intimate details they have no other way of knowing. any viewer of sensing murder, or psychic detectives will see real results no magician could ever produce. magicians are fakes. most psychics are fakes. some are genuine.

"Are All Psychics Fake?" - Interesting question. Let me put a few other interesting questions out there: "Is magic real?" - "Do witches fly on broomsticks?" - "Can wizards cast fireballs?" -
These are the questions we should be asking in the 21st century!
I think the problem with the question "Is Magick real?" we just don't have any idea what Magick is. There are those who will tell you they have ALL of the answers, when in reality they know NOTHING. We just dont know. There are strange experiences to be had, but generally these experiences RAISE more questions than answers. And as in the question itself, it is such a big question and vague in itself to begin with.
"Can wizards cast fireballs?"- If i saw someone shoot fireballs out of their hand, i would want to see the gizmo that made it possible. Because there would have to be a scientific explanation for it. Again, we simply don't know enough to give a hard and fast explanation.

No we do know what magic means. Bunch of frauds.
YouDontSeeMe If from a certain point of interpretation that you have taken, then yes they are all frauds. (And there are loads, but Again we DONT know what magick is).
AirSandFire Um, i think you may have taken what i had just said out of context. But thankyou for your input none the less.
2 types of psychics, con artists and deluded people.
EvilB you said it better than I could!
Hello. Yes there are definitely con artists and fakes. There may even be a certain amount of deluded people, however, I personally as a psychic never 'read' anyone's body language etc or asked questions or fished for answers. My job as I saw it was to be a person of integrity who delivers a specific message from those in spirit. My accuracy rate was high in terms of peoples' responses to what they were told.
Now for the question, why do psychics charge money? Well, in my case, it was my job of work, my way to pay my bills and keep a roofe over my head. Ask a plumber, Joiner, or othger tradesperson or service person to come to you and work for free and you'll get your answer!
One of the most satisfying aspects for me was bringing people closure or comfort through my readings.
YES... among psychics and mediums there are those who prey on the vulnerable but....don't lump genuine people in with these fakes!
As for these stage magicians who think everyone is conning someone else, they are so skeptical and determined to debag genuine psychics that they lose track of the genuine people.
Oh yes? Schizophrenia is a mental illness caused by a chemical imbalancein the brain which can be rectified by certain prescribed drugs.
Psychic (from the Greek 'psyche') information about people you don't know and which is verified by the 'stranger' you give the message to is a long long way away from psychiatric illness in that it is coherent 'though un-sorted pieces of personal info to be either verified at the time or later on when the person reflects on what was given.
Thank you for your rapid, if unfounded analysis of my spiritual gifts. :)
Hello evil B, unfortunately, as honest as I am and try to be, neither I, nor other 'true' psychics could convince mister Randi, because his tests are always 'skewed' in favour of no one winning the million dollars...a bit like the coconut shy's or other stalls at fairgrounds. As for the million dollars...money's a necessity to pay bills and keep a roof over your head, but as long as I can enjoy life, have my health and be happy, then that's all I really need.
We (humans) are all psychic!!! S'true....even you! The thing is, some people (IMO) are born with the psychic abilites turned on and others, like myself had to develop these later in life.
Finally, my job is NOT to convince anyone. You (general public) either believe or you don't...end of story. :)
Actually the burden of proof lies on you to prove the supernatural ability you claim to have, NOT on the 'cynics' or on the general public to prove otherwise. You're making genuinely astounding claims, Mr Java; that you can communicate with dead people! Astounding claims require astounding evidence to back them up. You offer none. If I were to claim that I could run 100 metres in 2 seconds, an astounding claim, people would quite rightly challenge me to prove it. The James Randi test is designed to wheedle out fraudsters and the deluded. Anyone with genuine magical powers (for that is what they would be) would pass the test easily. Plenty have tried, all have failed miserably. It's possible you BELIEVE you have magic powers. That perhaps shields you from being an out-and-out fraud, but certainly puts you into the deluded camp.
This should have been called "How Paul embarrassed a fraud".
She backed out with a predictably pathetic excuse less than ten minutes after this aired
You could tell by her answer, saying she’ll give him half, that she is just sarcastic and arrogant and has no intention to put herself at risk.
Every psychic says the same thing:
"Lots of charlatans and fakes... But not me"
Next question to a psychic that says that is "and how do we tell the difference"?
I've talked to the dead, absolutely, not often. But they didn't say much back, just layed there looking peaceful.
Of course you have.
I found the coroner!
Nope!
That was hilarious!!! I'm Dead bro! Bahahhahahahah!

Notice how Leigh Catherine never actually answers the questions put to her?
Derren Brown went to the US, where he was unknown at the time, and advertised as a medium. About a dozen people showed up and he told them all sorts of things about their dead relatives. Several were in tears and thanking him. He then told them that he was not a medium, and told them how he did it, ending with a warning to them to be careful of mediums. The guy is brilliant. btw, some mediums don't even know they are cold reading. There are some that are sincere but are reading cues without knowing.
I watched that too. I love Derren Brown he's beyond amazing. Totally took them in.
As Derren rightly says, “It's all a load of bullshit!” Top bloke is our Derren. I really enjoy it when he exposes the con artists and shysters.
I believe some really think that they can do what they do, but when you are "talking to dead people and can hear them" you are ether fraud or a schizophrenic.
"There are some that are sincere but are reading cues without knowing.". They're the ones who have been brainwashed into thinking they can talk to the dead.
He gave them all a personal reading. He handed each one while they were standing in a circle. He told them to read it and if he'd given anyone the wrong reading to pass it to the person next to them. They all said they had been given the correct reading. Every one was exactly the same.

I saw a video of a guy who was pretended to be a palm reader for some jollies at university and after a few years convinced himself he was an actual doing incredibly accurate readings based on people's reactions. About 10 years in he wanted to prove to himself how good he was by telling people the exact opposite of what the palms 'said'. To his surprise the people reacted in exactly the same way as they had done before. He then realised that it was all about the presentation.
Derren Brown is the best I’ve seen at “talking to the dead” and he’s not psychic. Tells you everything you need to know.
he's fake. relying on tricks. or perhaps he doesn't realise he is psychic. fakes are the worst - like actors pretending to be doctors. the best GENUINE psychics, include: john edward, deb webber, kelvin cruickshank and matt fraser. watch them for REAL psychic demonstrations: th-cam.com/video/NF7g0d4VSYQ/w-d-xo.htmlm26s

I haven't read all the responses, but think it should be noted that she ultimately refused to take Randi's Million Dollar Challenge, I guess it was too sciency and she thought she would fail it, which she would have.
yvettegr::: Everyone fails it. Thats the way it was designed.
Randi does not accept challenges from real mediums. This is a known fact as there is a reciprocal $1M challenge from Victor Zammit to Randi to replicate what his medium does. So far he cannot do so.
marco sorsa See the the article "The Myth of the Million Dollar Challenge". Randi's test was just another one of his tricks.
***** You are trying to compare apples with oranges. How many thousands of articles have you read about cold reading?
***** You are so right about that. A number of people who have agreed to take the test got half way thru when Randi just stopped communicating with them. There is no recourse because you had to sign away all your rights.

She’s such a liar. ‘I don’t even know what cold reading is’. Anyone claiming to be a psychic will have faced that accusation. Why do people still fall for such nonsense/woo? Quoting anecdotes from people you’ve duped is not evidence.
+Bert Turbaville... great reply! The only thing I disagree with is that I feel (even in 2018) that most people haven't "grown out of it". On a daily basis I still run into more people who believe in Ghosts, Goblins, God, The Devil, Psychics, bigfoot etc..than those who operate with reason and rationale.
the only proven liar is the magician, who was successfully sued by a psychic. there are plenty of genuine psychics who do not do cold readings, but provide intimate details of the departed, without any clues whatsoever. plenty of sceptics have converted after a reading. it's the fakes who bring the industry into disrepute, and if any of you were to actually listen to her, she is advocating cleaning it up. one example of this is "from skeptic to believer - news anchor gets first time reading from a medium" by matt fraser. there are plenty more examples. atheists don't hate unicorns, leprechauns, or elves - because they are not real. they do hate God, because he is real.
superkiwistar she didn’t sue because he wasn’t correct she sued because he’d given away her ‘trade secrets’ in the same way as if she’d told everyone how he does his tricks and ultimately devaluing them. Your other assertions are incorrect also. You also need to learn about burden of proof.
i can see you will soon be parting with your money. i am more familiar with the legal process than most. The Daily Mail has APOLOGISED and agreed to pay £125,000 in libel damages to a TV psychic it FALSELY accused of using a hidden earpiece to scam a theatre audience. The article was by the magician PAUL ZENON. The solicitor Brid Jordan appeared on behalf of the Daily Mail publisher, Associated Newspapers, and APOLOGISED unreservedly for the hidden earpiece claim "which it accepts is UNTRUE". -- in a defamation case, a psychic need not prove anything other than their reputation is damaged by your comments. easy. the burden of proof is on you to prove the truth of your argument. you may convince yourself, but a court of law is different. she will produce satisfied customers. your lawyer will do as zenons did. plead guilty. offer an apology. and pay damages. your legal expenses will be around a hundred grand anyway, before judgement, assuming you use an average solicitor and barrister. if you intend representing yourself, please let me know so i can attend.
superkiwistar so in other words they didn’t have evidence that she used one specific technique even although she probably did. Maybe you’re right - psychic abilities are true - my psychic powers tell me I won’t be parting with any money. I feel a message coming from the other side about your post - do the letters ‘B’ and ‘S’ mean anything to you?

are all fake and some of them are predators.

Completely agreed. The answer to the question: "are phychics are frauds?" is yes, but only to the extend that many of them have also fooled themselves. There are true frauds out there. Those who know it's all bollocks and are actively lying.
But most psychics have fooled themselves first, and others second.
Most of them are not lying when they say they have a gift. They are wrong, but they aren't lying.
Orson Welles discussed this during an interview once...some individuals are so good at reading people, they become convinced they have psychic abilities.
agree, some delude themselves into thinking that are actually psychic or that what they are giving the clients is exactly what they want to hear which justifies the duplicity in their own minds. Many of the clients want to believe it is real themselves so badly that they will ignore common sense and all the misses of the psychic.
If psychics can speak to the dead, why hasn't one of them colluded with the good Dr Randi on the other side and they could split the million! 🤔 😉😂😂
After over 50 years and thousands of failed applicants JREF determined the Paranormal Challenge was no longer productive. After so many were exposed, con-artists were no longer taking up the challenge and the organization was spending too much resources handling applicants with mental issues tastefully. So they were able to reassign the funds held aside for this to helping others who expose the con-artists.

It all works best for cons when people start "interpreting" what the con is saying instead of letting them tell them EXACTLY what the details are and it be something they never knew, but can proven. My challenge still stands. I will pay $35,000, (my life savings at the moment) to any psychic who contacts me without 10 minutes of this post, by email or phone and answers the questions I have in my head that I want answered.

@@mchevre yes. Very well said. We need more comments like yours at the top. ❤🎉
It’s funny how when the spirits are trying to give their name, the psychic can only get vague bits of info “I’m getting a ‘J’ or a ‘G’ name...” but as soon as they’ve got specifics out the way, the spirits can then ramble off lots of specific (and generic) detail in fluency, eg “she’s saying you’re loved, she is with you at night and you’ll hear her when you’re in your bed. She’s saying she’s happy now and in a better place and no longer in any pain...”.

@@cardinalRG But they connect to dead people. Not anything to do with telling futures.
How can something be general and specific at the same time? Simple. Say I tell you "I'm sensing something. You've been having money troubles." On the surface, that is a very general statement. Who doesn't have money troubles? But say you had recently gotten behind in bills due to an injury that caused you to take unpaid time off work.

I am really interested to know what makes you think the tests are not real but these psychics are. As I said before, TH-cam is full of videos showing the tests. Just because you do not like the results, you choose to dismiss them. By the way, Randi never had any direct involvement in the tests. He sent "negative vibrations" according to psychics who took the test. RIGHT!
+1gallimaufry See the article "The Myth of the Million Dollar Challenge" The big red flag is that you must sign away all your rights to sue. That way, Randi can do as he pleases as he has no obligation to anyone as they cannot sue him if he screws with them. The 'tests' were done over time and not subject to a YT segment. Randi's deal was a setup to entice people into thinking it was an honest test when the reality was that it was setup so no one could win.

There was a local psychic fair, I was bored, so I decided to go get a reading -first time in my life. I researched the psychics and found the one with the best credentials and reviews and off I went. She said I'm under a lot of stress from my job and was grieving the loss of a close family member. Well, I'm retired, aged 55 so there is a good chance one of my parents have passed away (55+30=85 >> average age of people when they die)....but lo and behold, both parents and all close family members in great health. She then suggested someone had cancer...nope, wrong again beee-atch! The guessing game went on and on, each time she looked at my face for a reaction. In the end, she said someone with black hair who was a teacher is watching over me. Well, nope, only one teacher in my extended family and he was actually a principal when he died. All the questions convinced me they play a guessing game with you and know the odds of how often 'something' is somehow in your life.
Exactly ,I do it all the time (for fun)
For example let me tell you, someone very close to you has just lost a pet, and it has been quite devastating for them, not sure if it is was a cat or a dog, but the little dear was white. You have had problems with pains in your knees or back lately, and this has been worrying you, but I can tell you that you shouldn't worry too much, as it will pass and there will not be any need for an operation, as foreseen by a physician. A close relative will be visiting soon, and there will be great news for your family, I see a period of joy and happiness that will bring your family together.
I could go on for hours lol
I have often wondered how they'd weasel their way out of it if you just went along with their first answer to everything & then revealed you'd been making the whole thing up at the end.
If the "psychic" hasn't researched you, one of the main things that stuffs up a reading is giving only yes or no type answers and not feeding them all the extra info they rely on for a cold reading. There are some good example of this on TH-cam . It soumds like you might have done this also.

@D Fraser What a load of BS. In 180 years of modern mediumship not one single supernatural/paranormal phenomenon has ever been definitively proven genuine.

Jack //// Of what?
Russian chicken marching intensifies.
I loved how Leigh's body language drastically changed and how her face became very sullen after the Barnum questions were used for play.
Psychics: * *I have psychic powers!* *
Person: * *prove your powers?* *
Psychics: * *umm NO!* *
I saw Sally and have seen a couple of other well known psychics (in theatre settings) and these experiences completely convinced me that what I was seeing was cold reading. It was even more obvious than you might expect and I couldnt believe that other ppl there couldn't see it. Maybe if someone wants to believe something enough it blinds them to what is actually happening in front of them.
Same with religion
When you have bought a ticket to one of these shows using a credit card, they have the ability to look you up & give specific details (also known as a hot read). Private detectives do this all the time & nobody thinks they have magical powers.
@@drakocarrion i can well believe it. At Sally she asked people to drop a,piece of paper into a bowl on the way in with the name of a loved one and a message. She brought the bowl on stage and would go to it whenever things weren't going well. Which they were not. She "misfired" so many times. Desperstely sweeping the room when a particular name that "popped in" drew a blank with the audience, changeing the name, throwing out names like a scattergun. Ppl were coming forward with the most tenuous links and then being cold read. She wasn't even good at making it look convincing.. I went in with a (fairly) open mind and came out feeling like I needed a shower.
@@traceychalkley9946 spiritual meetings are always on a Tuesday!
why?
they spend the weekend studying the bereavement section in your local paper, go to the town where the meetings is booked, then just .
sit in your local pub, cafe, and listen to the local gossip ..
so by Tuesday
they'll know all about that poor mother, who's just lost a child.
and turns up at the spiritual meeting on Tuesday
ABSOLUTELY DESPERATE to be able to contact them.
it's sick and twisted and all its about is making money ..
Read about Doris Stokes . it's exactly what they do .
Yeah, she's clearly lying about not knowing that stuff. What a scammer
It is super easy to debunk a psychic: 1) enter their shop 2) ask them "what is my name?". Show me one psychic that has ever been able to pass that test. I am waiting.
Your friends call you Tony but your mother calls you Anthony. You were slim until your mid twenties but are now classed as clinically obese and also slightly balding. You like watching conspiracy videos on you tube but don’t actually believe any of them
@@dom85ross interesting, you managed to get all of this wrong. Definitely not psychic material. None calls me Tony, not obese, not balding (too much hair actually) and I run away from conspiracy theories, I prefer facts.

why don't psychics buy loads of lottery tickets?
if there were any real psychics in this world, you're unlikely to find them working as a con-artist or whatever, they would just do as you said, so you'll find them in a multi-million dollar mansion somewhere living the life out of that shit-ton of lottery money.
Moon Pie Yes. Fortune tellers do. We are not talking about them. We are talking a bought psychics here.
To get to the other side? Finish your joke please mate, I can't get it.
They wouldn't need to buy 'loads of lottery tickets'. Just one would be enough.
Justin M fair point...
Barnum or Forers effect is very powerful, mainly because, we believe, it is extremely personal and special to us.
This girl has conned herself into belief.
The major aspect of the thing Paul is talking about is that we have people preying upon the broken hearts of others who have lost loved ones and are desperate to comunicate with them again. These con-artists use that to convince people that what they are hearing is actually the voices of the people they have lost.
That is cruel, lies and horrible. And it should be exposed at all turns.
Jammsbro::: Your opinion. Not necessarily the truth.
k0smon
Well considering that in our history of pyschics and mediums there has not been one, not one, instance of proof of either life after death or any human ever to have any sort of extra sensory perception, pyschic abilities or powers to speak with the dead. Not one, ever.
James Randi has a very famous challenge to any psychic out there that can prove their "powers" none have ever proved any such powers. You show me one instance of proof and I will believe you.
Jammsbro: If you want to hear the actual voices of those they have lost, you have to go to a materialization seance. A medium can only relay what she receives.
k0smon
There has never been any proof at all of any existence after death. None, ever. If there had been it would change the world and would not be a niche belief market (one where it only works if you believe in it). If these people could actually prove that there is life after death they would do so, yet under every single test, challenge and example ever shown they have failed miserably. Every single one. You know why? Because they are lying, to themselves and others.
Jammsbro It depends on what you will accept as proof. Every seance, every medium contacting spirit, ghost sighting, EVP, are proof to me, but not to you.
Mediums were tested at U. of Arizona, and for TV programs in US, AU, and there were winners each time. You make outrageous claims, using words like never, and every. You have no way of knowing this. So calm down and get real. You are not all-knowing as you try to pretend you are.
The algorithms have bought us here once more… hands together please
😂😂😂
We are connected... via Internet.
The look of terror on her face when Phillip asked if she could do it there and then. Lol
don't you know how it works? spirits are not always around - they are not omnipresent. it's not an on-demand sort of thing. one psychic i attended, couldn't pick anything specific up for the first 15 minutes or so. from an audience of 2000. he was quite open and honest about this. we waited. it's hard to tune into specific frequencies. it's like tuning a radio with weak stations. spirits do not have much energy - it's not like poltergeist. but, then he started getting specific messages. impressive. but, if they were to focus on readings, they would have no time for an interview. i thought leigh explained this very well.
superkiwistar I really hope you’re joking...

all real psychics say anyone can learn how to do it, and it doesn't need to cost a cent.
we know life exists after death, as expected - but, scientists in the uk, germany, and us have confirmed this, through various studies.

Perhaps the bogey-men should digitize their signals and increase their power output. That way, the messages would be clearer to the suckers out there.
The superdunce troll strikes again. No need to bother watching his links. They're always to interviews with gullible twats like himself or hot readings & his bunk filler newspaper articles are laughable. Especially when you actually look up the results of the cited "studies" & find out they're proven hoaxes.
Fake as a 9pound note if your dead loved ones want to talk to you why go to a stranger.
Correct mate, i asked a fake psychic who said she was talking to my late father to ask him for his name and where he worked ?
she went silent and ended the reading, i said see your a fake she told me to f off. ha ha ha.
Anyone who believes these type of people are actually a worry.
If I told people that I'm hearing voices the community would band together and have me locked in a nut house .and I live in wales ffs
@@aronrhys4920 lol
Why didn't the "psychics" warn us about 9-11? They didn't want to spoil the surprise? LOL Fuck these con artists....
Well obviously more dead people, more money for them. Especially when so many bodies were not recovered. It reminds me of Sylvia Brown telling a couple that their son died in water and was in water because they said they had not found his body. The dude was a rescue worker that died in 9/11.
Corpse Party I remember that! I think she went on to say that he drown in the water he was using to put out the fires. Personally, I think he was eaten by the Loch Ness Monster, who just happened to be inside the towers on that day. So there's your water connection right there.
***** LOL You really narrowed it down! I predict trouble in the world somewhere sometime soon. Ah but no one can predict what it will materialize into. XD
Some did know about 911 its something that was supposed to happen just like Obama will be the last u.s president it's suppose to happen it can change but Most likely it won't.

It's nine years later and the One Million Dollar prize from the James Randi Foundation has not been claimed. Many claim that they will take the challenge, but never do. Leigh Catherine, either never took the challenge or she failed the challenge. It's very difficult to produce proof and evidence of something that does not exist.
She backed out about ten minutes after this aired with a pathetic excuse.
Leigh Catherine should just marry some rich guy. She's pretty fit.
@@ThereIsNoLord it was 9 years ago...
@@Koozomec I bet she's still pretty fit, but maybe a prospect for an older rich guy. I think she comes from a wealthy family anyway.
@@ThereIsNoLord I agree. I just have noticed rich guys tends to go for young women regardless of how old they are themselves.
And by her activity on psychic she is either a scammer or delusional at best, that two red flags imo.
5:25 she says she doesn't know what cold reading is. Funny, since that's what does.
What an absolute con woman. If you are real your real 24 hrs a day.
There's no such thing as a real psychic.
drakocarrion As far as we know there isn't one but there still could be a real psychic out there Since there are more than 7 billion people on this planet it is super hard to disprove this for a 100% but I'm for a 99.99% sure they don't exist.
Joost Don't talk such utter tripe. If someone GENUINELY had psychic powers it'd be huge news & they'd be a big star considering that literally nobody has psychic powers. You telling me if a man, independently of the technology we have developed to be able to do so, could fly we wouldn't know about it pretty damn sharpish considering it'd be a phenomenon? it's ridiculous to even suggest there are psychics.
drakocarrion Dude I know they aren't real can't you read? I'm just talking about proving this stuf. you can't tell me that you have proof that there isn't one out there.
Joost I don't need to prove there isn't one out there. They don't exist. They're fiction. I can say in exactly the same way as saying there are no fairies & unicorns that there are no psychics & it's 100% correct. Asking me to prove they don't exist is like asking me to prove Spiderman isn't real. It's pure stupidity.
That panicked facial expression she does many times throughout this clip is the exact expression a child does when they're lying and they know that they're about to be caught out.
This simply shows body language analysis should be left to the experts, as it is more likely a result of controlling anger at the rude, loudmouthed, arrogant sceptic.
The work of only one of the interviewees has been described by their own publisher in a court of law as "UNTRUE" - and that was the magician. He admits he used to work as a fake psychic - no mention of refunding his clients, though - and continues to ply a trade of deception.
Leigh, on the other hand, regularly attends Church, has provided evidence of her ability within the Church for free.
The magician doesn't believe he is being watched by spirits and has no fear of consequences of lying in the Afterlife.
The psychic does believe she is watched by spirits, and believes in consequences of lying in the Afterlife.
@@superkiwistar Shut up you troll.
@@superkiwistar FYI numpty, body language experts HAVE analysed this footage & they said Leigh was lying. She doesn't go to church or give readings for free & you are still clueless.
5:05 about to try and justify charging money
look
Like the mere suggestion that she should do a live reading? 😂
Jay Leno has a funny one-liner: "Why don't we ever see a 'psychic wins lottery" news article?"
