Notice how when he’s wrong he instantly moves to the next question, or tries to justify that he’s right even though he’s not. That’s classic cold reading.
Yes! What I notice is they bombard people with things, almost hoping one will stick. They then rely on the poor person to over share when something resonates.
Funny how as soon as he’s doing a reading for someone who has any level of skepticism, his ‘gift’ doesn’t work. These people are scammers and I’m so happy they’re being exposed.
They still though doing it and making a fortune out of it. Makes me sick with these total fraudsters around. So many around and there's a few round here where ai live as well and getting away sith it.
I do think that some "psychics" are self deluded, many of them, in fact. Confirmation bias works both ways. Though, from the example of the reading Chris did for the journalist, it was obvious cold reading with a bit of social media hot reading thrown in.
He 100% researched your Mother's name before doing your reading because the fact he made a clear point of showing the camera he's correct. It's hilarious! I genuinely feel sorry for the people he's scamming. It's just vulnerable people who are willing to try anything to help them in their situation. People like him should be called out!
There was a great show on bbc3 like 20 years ago called the bullsh*t detectives, and it basically debunked all these nutters. Some of them subconsciously pick up on tells that people give away and genuinely believe they're psychic, but the vast majority know exactly what they're upto and are con artists.
I like chris but I agree I used to go to a medium and they wouldn't let me get a reading more then once a year with them so that's made me think a bit tbh 😮
Ben mistake was scalding whilst he was doing the reading, should have let him finish then scald. He’s a con artist they will only ever let you get so far, Ben should have known this, just relax and then when he’s done with the bs say everything you wanted to say.
Oh my god. I stumbled on Chris live on TikTok. He was Literally sitting there demanding certain amount of views before he would do a reading. Then said he wouldn't do anything until midnight, which was two hours away. So he just stared at the screen. I commented "yawn" because it was boring to watch. He then kicked off. Called me a freak and blocked me. Yeah, I think he's a little bit fragile lol
I did exactly the same, said nothing and he couldn't give me nothing either, just general rubbish that could apply to anyone...I said have you got anything specific....he said I am gifted, I should read cards....well, yes maybe, ha ha ...cause he definitely didn't!!.....
@emmajanewatts4388 - That's all good, genuine psychics want you to do: just give them yes or no answers. They get upset if you feed them information, because they are being given all the information to relay to you, and 'helping' them holds up the flow in getting the messages across to you.

Yeah deffo! That’s why they’re looking to answer positively. Like when he says I’m getting 3 n then changes it to why am I getting 3. If you’re a willing vulnerable person you’ll make a link. If you think about it the person who’s willing and vulnerable could calculate it by saying she had 3 girl granddaughters etc. if I think I can find a link to 3 in my family if I want it to be true n want the reading to be successful
I have genuine psychic medium abilities but this man is a con artist. Bereaved people sometimes seek out genuine ones, mediums don’t go out looking to target the vulnerable that would be horrible! Genuinely all genuine psychic mediums are nicer than nice otherwise god wouldn’t give us the ability. Such a shame idiots like Chris get to be so big!

The biggest defence you hear of supposed psychics is that they offer comfort, but the truth is there are plenty of ways to comfort people, and lying to them for money is the worst one.
To people grieving please seek counselling, bereavement is a process and you need to give yourself time, sometimes space to grieve. You can get online resources if you dont want to meet people. Do not be fooled by these type of people. Time does heal ❤❤
Absolutely, a lot of vulnerable and grieving people seek "psychics", unfortanately there are plenty willing to scam them for money. Beravement counselling would be a far better use of money and time.
@HoneyHoops-ig9ws I agree. I've a strong sixth sense, I can sense earthquakes before they come and other dangerous things like an accident etc. i have also seen things that happen in near or far future in dreams that are related to my friends and family etc. I can sometimes hear a ghost/spirit making noise like a bird when I'm up late. I've been told to start the business of spiritual readings many times but I feel like that's a violation of my power. Also how tf am I supposed to see a strangers future in my dream who I just met lol. That's complete bs 😂... But ppl, here in south Asia, do that around me and are making good money out of it.
I mean, the show didn't really need to go on beyond the 3.5 minute mark. He was shown to be a compulsive liar when he said he did 100,000 readings in a year, and some clients have had over 1,000 readings in a year. So... he's done an average of 270+ readings every single day of the year, and some clients are getting 2-3 readings every single day? Gotcha.
@@makeuphacks5514 yes, unfortunately I was scammed with one of these readings, I complained,I did get a reply but started how amazing he was suppose to be... I'm glad he's getting exposed
he said he employs a team of readers to message ppl in the beginning at his garden office thing.. He musta used his powers to locate tons more psychics 🤣
I had a phsycic randomly apprach me in a pub get everything spot on, not ask for a penny and never spoke to her again. Was really weird. And this was back in the day before social media.
I had a reading over the phone, he had no idea what I looked like btw, no social media and I told him my nickname so that he couldn’t somehow look me up. I went in there like Ben, purposefully sceptic, he told me things about my grandmother that I hadn’t told anyone, he predicted me meeting my husband, he predicted a death of someone I knew and he asked zero questions- he just rattled stuff off at me for 20 minutes. Truly an insane experience, I would speak to him again but I’m scared tbh. He also has a policy that he only gives you two readings a year- unlike this guy who can give 1,000?!?!
Same. A woman on tik tok does free on live, I watched her for ages then booked a private reading, I didn't say anything she was amazing told me loads of stuff she couldn't of found on social media. Things I have never told a soul. She called secret medium on tik tok, I've also had some that are crap, but she really blew my mind
Like many other fraudsters before him whose acts were utterly unconvincing once met with the most basic of journalistic enquiries as seen here, I just KNEW this would end with him throwing a hissy fit!...😮 I guess i must be psychic! 😂
It always ends in this exact way for every 'psychic' I've seen that has been tested, the Derren Brown one was brilliantly humiliating for the guy he tested...all of 'em scum.
It's not even good cold reading! A better phrase would have been "I can smell cooking, it could be pastries, though it smells more like a cake"- that way more area is covered, rather than a specifc wild guess (though wild guesses can absolutely make a cold-reader's career!)
@@beemorse7092 You sound just as insane as Chris is. Ben went into it wanting it to be real, but Chris shit the bed and threw a hissy fit when he was caught out lying.
I have lost 2 beautiful sisters and my mum & dad. I have had many readings trying to find peace of mind from so much loss and they suck you in and spit you out. I believe in the spiritual world but these messed up people will ruin it for you. Dont waste your time and money
The problem is that people think that we can connect with spirit. Remember dead person brain is dead as well so they can't remember in another world about you. Their soul probably moved to different body❤
I've been wanting to find a good medium since I lost my mother a few months ago. I've put it off as I don't want to get one who actually makes me doubt she's still with me
@@Beth1300 Another problem is you're also trusting someone to put words in your mother's mouth and speak for her when she can no longer speak for herself. No one should be allowed to speak for the dead; if you knew her well you'll probably know what she'd say to you deep down if you look into your heart. I've heard of psychics telling people awful things, so be very careful. I spoke to someone who was told she would one day commit suicide by a psychic and it had a huge effect on her. I'm really sorry for your loss and hope you find healing. x
I went on a date with him, and it was alllll about him, didn’t ask me one question about me. Looked down at me because of where we were and what I was eating and stuff. Half way through jackmaate called him out and the date went down hill from there. Was one of the worst dates I have ever been on.
It’s hilarious that these people become so delusional that they forget how painfully obvious their act is. Their body language, word choice, getting angry during readings, all classic signs of manipulation.
He doesn't stop sending messages through messenger with generic mini readings asking you to get in touch for full reading. So these will hit with many people especially the ones saying you've recently lost a loved one and another recently has been someone is watching your social media & life and has it out for you. His attitude in this is disgusting more than defensive and any true reader would never give health issues like that saying you have cancer etc
I had paid for a reading for my twin sister, with Chris about 4 years ago. She’s the skeptic, I am not. I had been watching Chris for a while, looking to see if authentic. I stopped watching him after my sisters reading, for the same reason I’m seeing here today. His misses were far greater than his hits. With that being said, I am a deep empath by nature, I feel the energy of people’s auras since I was a child. I’m very intuitive, I have had experiences with the other side. I know them to be true and genuine. I have had about 10 readings in my life only 2 were jaw dropping. I am actually quite disappointed with how Chris acted here, but not shocked either. Kinda comes across like a “Diva B”. I think Chris thinks he’s better than he is tbh. Sadly suckers are born every minute and if he’s truly gifted he wouldn’t care if your a skeptic or not. It’s about accuracy. His readings are like a dartboard..Hit the bullseye here and there but mostly are misses.
Chris likes to throw his toys out of the pram when he doesn’t get his own way. He acts very unprofessional. Great documentary Ben ! I’ve seen his negative feedback he has been given on another site where he has threatened legal action against the person . Really ?
Never feel bad, exposing these con artists that prey on the weak / vulnerable minds is great work. It should be illegal and a criminal offence to con people out of money by way of emotional manipulation. Fantastic work. Chris should be ashamed of himself, but he won't...... He's only interested in what he "owns", like his third Range Rover, repulsive individual. No different than a cowboy builder, in fact I think it's worse!
Oh my god never feel bad for these types of people as they're fully exposed. If you have consciously chosen to tell people that you're talking to the dead, and then charge people for their 'messages', you deserve AND should expect that your scam will eventually be exposed and destroyed with facts. Remember you didn't wake up today and decide to lie for a living, they did.
Yes I think it's worse. Cowboy builders are bad, but at least they don't pray on vulnerable, grieving people (those are the people who go to psychics the most, desperate to talk to a much missed loved one.)
That's not a door bell, it's a electromagnetic spectrometer that allows him to see through doors and communicate with living people in the outside world
Should be in prison for taking money for horrific life changing lies, it's vulgar! If you had the power to speak to a mother's dead child you wouldn't say "But I'm only telling you if you give me 50 quid" He's truly a sick person who preys on very vulnerable people
If it was really real, he wouldn't have a tantrum. I get that these 'readings' might be nice for those looking for comfort after a loved one has died but they don't need to pay £100's to be told generic information
That’s right, that guy spat the dummy out too. I do believe there are genuine psychics out there, these ones give they guys a bad name. The problem is it’s big business= plenty of money. The prices some of them charge is unbelievable, I get people need to make a living, a bit over priced most of the time. Sad to see really for the people that are desperate to hear from a loved one.
Yup, reminded me exactly of that guy in that expose. So much so i put the link up before so people can see similar behavior from that 'Psychic' @@jamieford8230
Did anyone watch when derren brown did this? The psychics questioning is all so very familiar. Brown took it apart fantastically and how he does it n the tricks they play
The way he fixated on the fact he got something out of cakes is hilarious he struck gold with that 1, its a well known fact that most granny’s bake with there grandkids so he was probably going down the route of I’m sensing you baked with your grandma i bet he couldn’t believe his luck that she wanted to a cake making business
I was on the fence with this, undecided but why are there loads of bots in the comments talking about his integrity/compassion? Sounds like he's trying to balance a narrative!
Yeah I get that. But the chances are higher that someone working in a place is gonna actually like what they do. It wasn’t that big a connection for him to make!
It’s awful, a psychic / medium who is genuine would refund and help the person to not feel like they need a reading all the time! Makes me cross. Gives mediums / psychic like myself a bad name!
This always happens with individuals like this, Darren Brown did a documentary on someone just like this, it is such an insidious industry and people need to stop being scammed by these people. -_-
I really appreciated how gently Ben approached this, he seemed earnest, and had the psychic been able to give a good reading he would've been on board. I found it yucky that Chris and his assistants were clearly hostile and really came across like they had something to hide and his attitude and entitlement when he wasn't getting the hits made it an uncomfortable watch. Also imma say I actually come from a family of psychics and this man is working in a majorly unethical way by boasting that the same people get readings from him over 100 times a year and did those customers know that he had a team of people working for him and that it wasn;t actually him doing the readings. all feels very praying on the vulnerable, this is the COMPLETE opposite of what a reading should be.
@IamSHAR_ It was how they chose to use sage when he arrived for his reading, that I found out of order. Chris should be saging all the time in between readings, not just to make a concealed point when Ben arrived, that they were hinting he was bringing negative energy in with him! If he is giving readings to clients who are using him as a 'crutch' and are addicted to having readings, he should gently guide them to only give them a few per year. Otherwise it sadly comes across that it is just for him to make money.
When Psychics get rich on using the gift , they loose it . Of coarse you can earn your keep & a bit to employ people to clean while you’re occupied doing reading. I’d also add it’s tiring doing this & the energy get weaker , so it’s best to only do 4 readings a day or if you have a full time job as well one a few times a week
Idd a good conman is able to fully convince viewers he got psychic abilities and not taking advantage of his prey, i hope your family does a better job in hiding all the misses
Like so many of the clients, i went when i was desperate and very vulnerable after losing a parent with no chance to say goodbye. My 'psychic' asked me if I had defrosted the freezer. I was absolutely gobsmacked. Turns out, it's one of the jobs grieving people do in the early weeks.... Be very very careful
@BruceLee-fd7uw it's true, it is one of the 'jobs' people do when they are in the early stages of grief. I heard a grief counsellor talk about it on the radio.
I had a reading with a psychic out of curiosity and she just wasn’t getting anything right. It was so awkward I started helping her out and over explaining things.
I can imagine that such a common thing. Generally regular people hate awkward situations and we tend to automatically try to make the atmosphere better.
"do you go to the dentist?", wow what an insight! Couldve never have guessed that one.
I'm surprised he didn't ask her if she breathes lol
Notice how when he’s wrong he instantly moves to the next question, or tries to justify that he’s right even though he’s not. That’s classic cold reading.

Also how tf am I supposed to see a strangers future in my dream who I just met lol. That's complete bs 😂... But ppl, here in south Asia, do that around me and are making good money out of it.

I almost choked on my cuppa when he asked that...I thought who doesnt go to the dentist..only those who cant find one on the NHS?😂
I mean, the show didn't really need to go on beyond the 3.5 minute mark. He was shown to be a compulsive liar when he said he did 100,000 readings in a year, and some clients have had over 1,000 readings in a year. So... he's done an average of 270+ readings every single day of the year, and some clients are getting 2-3 readings every single day? Gotcha.
Or he is a huge scammer, mass emailing thousands of people the same ‘reading’
@@makeuphacks5514yeah I was thinking this, only logical explanation
@@makeuphacks5514 yes, unfortunately I was scammed with one of these readings, I complained,I did get a reply but started how amazing he was suppose to be... I'm glad he's getting exposed
he said he employs a team of readers to message ppl in the beginning at his garden office thing.. He musta used his powers to locate tons more psychics 🤣

Chris, your compassion for others is a true blessing!
I had a phsycic randomly apprach me in a pub get everything spot on, not ask for a penny and never spoke to her again. Was really weird. And this was back in the day before social media.
We call them stalkers nowadays.
I had a reading over the phone, he had no idea what I looked like btw, no social media and I told him my nickname so that he couldn’t somehow look me up. I went in there like Ben, purposefully sceptic, he told me things about my grandmother that I hadn’t told anyone, he predicted me meeting my husband, he predicted a death of someone I knew and he asked zero questions- he just rattled stuff off at me for 20 minutes. Truly an insane experience, I would speak to him again but I’m scared tbh. He also has a policy that he only gives you two readings a year- unlike this guy who can give 1,000?!?!
Same. A woman on tik tok does free on live, I watched her for ages then booked a private reading, I didn't say anything she was amazing told me loads of stuff she couldn't of found on social media. Things I have never told a soul. She called secret medium on tik tok, I've also had some that are crap, but she really blew my mind

I’m getting the word “Charlatan” 😂
Like many other fraudsters before him whose acts were utterly unconvincing once met with the most basic of journalistic enquiries as seen here, I just KNEW this would end with him throwing a hissy fit!...😮 I guess i must be psychic! 😂
It always ends in this exact way for every 'psychic' I've seen that has been tested, the Derren Brown one was brilliantly humiliating for the guy he tested...all of 'em scum.
He was glitching at the end😂

It's not even good cold reading! A better phrase would have been "I can smell cooking, it could be pastries, though it smells more like a cake"- that way more area is covered, rather than a specifc wild guess (though wild guesses can absolutely make a cold-reader's career!)
Ben is a brilliant interviewer, always kind yet firm. It's a tricky balance.

I have lost 2 beautiful sisters and my mum & dad. I have had many readings trying to find peace of mind from so much loss and they suck you in and spit you out. I believe in the spiritual world but these messed up people will ruin it for you. Dont waste your time and money
Better to understand you haven't lost them, your simply on hold right now from joining them.
@@mrnice7570 thank you 🙏x
The problem is that people think that we can connect with spirit. Remember dead person brain is dead as well so they can't remember in another world about you. Their soul probably moved to different body❤
I've been wanting to find a good medium since I lost my mother a few months ago. I've put it off as I don't want to get one who actually makes me doubt she's still with me
@@Beth1300 Another problem is you're also trusting someone to put words in your mother's mouth and speak for her when she can no longer speak for herself. No one should be allowed to speak for the dead; if you knew her well you'll probably know what she'd say to you deep down if you look into your heart. I've heard of psychics telling people awful things, so be very careful. I spoke to someone who was told she would one day commit suicide by a psychic and it had a huge effect on her. I'm really sorry for your loss and hope you find healing. x
Chris, your commitment to honesty and authenticity is inspiring!

I went on a date with him, and it was alllll about him, didn’t ask me one question about me. Looked down at me because of where we were and what I was eating and stuff. Half way through jackmaate called him out and the date went down hill from there. Was one of the worst dates I have ever been on.

@@terrymennie4027 doesn't surprise me that mate
It’s hilarious that these people become so delusional that they forget how painfully obvious their act is. Their body language, word choice, getting angry during readings, all classic signs of manipulation.
That's the point though isn't it. A lot of people don't notice it's an act at all.

I have had over 50 readngs and ALL of them where spot on!

He doesn't stop sending messages through messenger with generic mini readings asking you to get in touch for full reading.
So these will hit with many people especially the ones saying you've recently lost a loved one and another recently has been someone is watching your social media & life and has it out for you.
His attitude in this is disgusting more than defensive and any true reader would never give health issues like that saying you have cancer etc
True reader ? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I had paid for a reading for my twin sister, with Chris about 4 years ago. She’s the skeptic, I am not. I had been watching Chris for a while, looking to see if authentic. I stopped watching him after my sisters reading, for the same reason I’m seeing here today. His misses were far greater than his hits.
With that being said, I am a deep empath by nature, I feel the energy of people’s auras since I was a child. I’m very intuitive, I have had experiences with the other side. I know them to be true and genuine. I have had about 10 readings in my life only 2 were jaw dropping.
I am actually quite disappointed with how Chris acted here, but not shocked either. Kinda comes across like a “Diva B”. I think Chris thinks he’s better than he is tbh. Sadly suckers are born every minute and if he’s truly gifted he wouldn’t care if your a skeptic or not. It’s about accuracy. His readings are like a dartboard..Hit the bullseye here and there but mostly are misses.
Chris likes to throw his toys out of the pram when he doesn’t get his own way. He acts very unprofessional. Great documentary Ben ! I’ve seen his negative feedback he has been given on another site where he has threatened legal action against the person . Really ?
Never feel bad, exposing these con artists that prey on the weak / vulnerable minds is great work. It should be illegal and a criminal offence to con people out of money by way of emotional manipulation. Fantastic work. Chris should be ashamed of himself, but he won't...... He's only interested in what he "owns", like his third Range Rover, repulsive individual. No different than a cowboy builder, in fact I think it's worse!
Oh my god never feel bad for these types of people as they're fully exposed.
If you have consciously chosen to tell people that you're talking to the dead, and then charge people for their 'messages', you deserve AND should expect that your scam will eventually be exposed and destroyed with facts.
Remember you didn't wake up today and decide to lie for a living, they did.
Yes I think it's worse. Cowboy builders are bad, but at least they don't pray on vulnerable, grieving people (those are the people who go to psychics the most, desperate to talk to a much missed loved one.)
The mums name bit kills me everytime 😂😂😂😂 he seriously thinks he’s done something
Why does he need a Ring doorbell to see who is at his door? 🤔
😂😂
That's not a door bell, it's a electromagnetic spectrometer that allows him to see through doors and communicate with living people in the outside world
🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂
Made me chuckle 😂
Chriss the physic" whys ya nan talking to me about 3men"
Ben.erm "i dont know im not physic."😂😂
Should be in prison for taking money for horrific life changing lies, it's vulgar! If you had the power to speak to a mother's dead child you wouldn't say "But I'm only telling you if you give me 50 quid" He's truly a sick person who preys on very vulnerable people
If it was really real, he wouldn't have a tantrum. I get that these 'readings' might be nice for those looking for comfort after a loved one has died but they don't need to pay £100's to be told generic information
even without all the talking to dead people bollox this guy would still be ridiculous
555!!!! Loved watching him panic and kick you out!! 555. Keep up the amazing job 💪🏻
A controversial point, but why are most of these male "psychics" camp as a row of tents? Oh, and I've never heard of him.
I was trying to figure that one out myself.
As a row of tents 😂😂😂
So they can see dead mem coming...
😂😂😂😂😂
Derren brown did an amazing show on this too. We need to keep exposing these frauds! 👏👏👏
That’s right, that guy spat the dummy out too. I do believe there are genuine psychics out there, these ones give they guys a bad name. The problem is it’s big business= plenty of money. The prices some of them charge is unbelievable, I get people need to make a living, a bit over priced most of the time. Sad to see really for the people that are desperate to hear from a loved one.
Yup, reminded me exactly of that guy in that expose. So much so i put the link up before so people can see similar behavior from that 'Psychic' @@jamieford8230
Yes! he had a very similar reaction to this bell end when being called out 😂
Scammerrrrrrrr 😂
Chris, your generosity is truly touching!
He rips off people for a KILLING !
Did anyone watch when derren brown did this? The psychics questioning is all so very familiar. Brown took it apart fantastically and how he does it n the tricks they play
I love how Derren did that. Such a brilliant show.
That was brilliant 😂😂Derrien Brown actually reminds me of this fella Chris 🙌🙌🤣🤣🤣
The Derren Brown one was brilliant, he too fell to bits at the end
Chris needs a few lessons from Derren in the art of cold reading.
I loved the Derren Brown show, you can tell Chris is using similar tactics
psychic from essex ...enough said 😅
I had an email tarot reading it was awful and got nothing from it, except out of pocket 😂
He's a blatant conman.
Fun fact: we spoke on Tindr and he told me I wasn’t rich enough to date him 😅
Lovely! 🤦♂️
Yeah he comes across as an absolute c***.
Well you dodged a bullet, that’s for sure!
You dodged a bullet in the form of a slap head

Chris, your positivity uplifts those around you!
It's so obvious how the medium and Ben are not clicking at all. And why does the medium keep side eyeing the camera 🤣
Anybody else notice the 50 different accounts which chris has made or brought himself to try and say hes legit 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Love this documentary maker. Hes fantastic.
The way he fixated on the fact he got something out of cakes is hilarious he struck gold with that 1, its a well known fact that most granny’s bake with there grandkids so he was probably going down the route of I’m sensing you baked with your grandma i bet he couldn’t believe his luck that she wanted to a cake making business
He said “starting a cake making business” and she said “yes” how more spot on could he be😂
Some people really will go to incredible lengths to avoid a hard day’s work
They asked him where his energy comes from; he said “I don’t know”. 😥 God have mercy on him.🙏
He’s not used to being called out. Well done Ben.
Aaaaand thanks to these kind of ppl ,that ppl who truly have gifts wont be taken serious or labelled as crazy ... 😢
How terrible that someone can make that much money from desperate people.
Psychic ability has never been shown to be better than guessing!
I was on the fence with this, undecided but why are there loads of bots in the comments talking about his integrity/compassion? Sounds like he's trying to balance a narrative!
His marketing is interesting. Myself and two others get the same unique email reading at the same time.
Finally, Ben covers a comedian. Thank you!
“Who likes to make cakes? Like you make cake! How would I know?” Ehh maybe because she’s working in a cafe. Might just be a little hint.
I used to work in a cafe, doesn’t mean you like to make cakes?
I really dont see the connection ? I.e if you like eating chips it dosent mean you work in a fish shop 🥴
Yeah I get that. But the chances are higher that someone working in a place is gonna actually like what they do. It wasn’t that big a connection for him to make!
@@paulamorgan3078 sorry , I dont agree.
@@Juls27989that’s ok. I don’t need you to agree with me. I still think he proved nothing In this reading.
You can see him sweating. Because he is getting it so wrong.
Im glad you did this because i had my doubts about him and the others. Money is the name of the game here. Definately!
They're charlatans... all of them.
Someone had 1,000 reading in a year? Like 3 a day? Wtf
exactly like that's just bizzare
It’s awful, a psychic / medium who is genuine would refund and help the person to not feel like they need a reading all the time! Makes me cross. Gives mediums / psychic like myself a bad name!
This always happens with individuals like this, Darren Brown did a documentary on someone just like this, it is such an insidious industry and people need to stop being scammed by these people. -_-
I really appreciated how gently Ben approached this, he seemed earnest, and had the psychic been able to give a good reading he would've been on board. I found it yucky that Chris and his assistants were clearly hostile and really came across like they had something to hide and his attitude and entitlement when he wasn't getting the hits made it an uncomfortable watch. Also imma say I actually come from a family of psychics and this man is working in a majorly unethical way by boasting that the same people get readings from him over 100 times a year and did those customers know that he had a team of people working for him and that it wasn;t actually him doing the readings. all feels very praying on the vulnerable, this is the COMPLETE opposite of what a reading should be.
@IamSHAR_ It was how they chose to use sage when he arrived for his reading, that I found out of order. Chris should be saging all the time in between readings, not just to make a concealed point when Ben arrived, that they were hinting he was bringing negative energy in with him! If he is giving readings to clients who are using him as a 'crutch' and are addicted to having readings, he should gently guide them to only give them a few per year. Otherwise it sadly comes across that it is just for him to make money.
Witch covant repent.
When Psychics get rich on using the gift , they loose it . Of coarse you can earn your keep & a bit to employ people to clean while you’re occupied doing reading. I’d also add it’s tiring doing this & the energy get weaker , so it’s best to only do 4 readings a day or if you have a full time job as well one a few times a week
Idd a good conman is able to fully convince viewers he got psychic abilities and not taking advantage of his prey, i hope your family does a better job in hiding all the misses
What’s with all these fake comments? Bet this scammer has paid for them
Such a scammer they are all fake accounts
Yep. Funny how so many say the exact same thing!
Totally agree or it’s him 😂😂
Best psychic will always be Shirley Ghostman!
He really reminded me of Shirely!
The dang “assistants” lol
Excellent exposure. He told you nothing… and you were 100% professional and polite. Awesome work.
Like so many of the clients, i went when i was desperate and very vulnerable after losing a parent with no chance to say goodbye. My 'psychic' asked me if I had defrosted the freezer. I was absolutely gobsmacked.
Turns out, it's one of the jobs grieving people do in the early weeks....
Be very very careful
Huh? Why do grieving people defrost their freezers?
Maybe when sorting the deceased persons home
Lol
No they don't, what rubbish
@BruceLee-fd7uw it's true, it is one of the 'jobs' people do when they are in the early stages of grief. I heard a grief counsellor talk about it on the radio.
I had a reading with a psychic out of curiosity and she just wasn’t getting anything right. It was so awkward I started helping her out and over explaining things.
I can imagine that such a common thing. Generally regular people hate awkward situations and we tend to automatically try to make the atmosphere better.
