Do Fortune Tellers / Psychics work - ever?

mirwillbeback

Reason I ask is that as cynical as I am, I went to one a few weeks ago and some of the stuff she said was so accurate it was weird.

Now, she got some things wrong too, but how could she come up with something like " ask your girlfriend about the sombrero hat and tell her the person who wore it is happy now " and it turns out a family member wore one as a laugh and died soon after :eek:

What is the secret?

Im not sure how much faith I have in them. Maybe because Ive gone to crap ones...I dunno.

But Id wonder how much you gave away during the session..

Also, that thing you were looking for, youll find it soon...

I would highly recommend reading Derren Brown's book and you can then make up your own mind. I think they are all crooks personally :mad:

some are real

some are complete charlatans

some claim to be psychic but in reality only read tarot

some will connect with you, some wont

personally the best success i have had has been with Billy Martin in Mullingar, he sounds generic but i have asked numerous future based questions re contact, job, deaths etc etc and 95% have come true in the timeframe he gave so i give him the benefit of the doubt as conincidence can only happen so much....

Niamho!

i'd love to go to a really good one. but how do you know? just try a load of them? I used to think the more expensive they are the more genuine thay must be... I dunno.... they've all told me different things. some of them are ok but i think most of them seem to be guess artists.
