Psychic Hub

In my last posting, I related a tale of a supposed ‘psychic’ going down the road of deception. While we’re on this topic, it may be a good time to look at some clues to when you’re being taken in by a charlatan psychic. Well this is what’s covered on the website belonging to Psychic World and the URL you need is http://www.psychicworld.net/charlatan.htm. Section 5 deals with the guessing games that go on and is reproduced here :-

5. Guessing Games : Here is what a typical guessing game sounds like.

Reader : “I feel someone around you with a name called Dave. Do you know someone by this name?
Client: “Yes”
Reader: ” Are they a friend?”
Client: “Umm…well not really, just someone I know from work.”
Reader: “Well, I feel you will be getting closer to this person in the future. Have you a grandmother who has passed?”
Client “No.”
Reader: “I feel a grandparent who has passed. Is there any other grandparent who has passed.”
Client : “Well, yes, both my grandparents on my father’s side.”
Reader: “I feel the you father’s father is wanting to tell you to make sure that you have to get your relationship sorted out”
Clients: “What relationship?”
Reader: “Umm…the relationship with your family.”
Client: “Oh…ok”

As you can see, this reading seems more based on some educated guesses by the psychic. Most people know someone called Dave and most people have at least one grandparent who has passed on. This makes for a pretty dull and uninformative reading as you can see by this dialogue.
