Wasn't sure where to put this.
Just went to see my mum on my lunch break and was a bit freaked out.
She said she went to see a tarot reader last night and everything she said was spot on, down to things only me and my mum know, even down to tiny detail, i was so freaked out she even told her stuff about me that my mum never knew.
My mum has always been a sceptical person but was taken aback by this tarot reader. I had my cards read once and it was all a load of cr*p.
Just wondering do you beleive there are some genunine tarot readers or fortune tellers or you think its a load of bull??

The eminent psychologist, B R Forer conducted a series of tests to investigate what he termed the 'Barnum effect', and concluded that 'people tend to accept vague and general personality descriptions as uniquely applicable to themselves without realising that the same description could be applied to just about anyone.'

I agree with JL.

Why can't they give you the winning lottery numbers, or horse racing tips etc etc
MrBen summed it up in one word.

I agree with John on this one.Only I think it's 99.9% bull,
0.1% guesswork . A friend of mine (and his mother) were sure they could communicate with the non living, as they called the people who had died. When my wife died aged 44, my friend persuaded me to go to see one of these Tarot card readers to see if she could tell me anything. It was all generalised talk, with no mention that my wife had died. His mother died a few weeks later, and they had a pact that she would contact him with a code word that only those two knew.Ten years later, she has still not contacted him through a medium, or otherwise.
