are fortune tellers,phychics,claievoyants for real,or is it all a trick??

[alexanderd]

Have any of them ever won the lottery? Its all a con in my opinion

[sandyRoe]

They're all chancers who cheat the gullible or people who need helping in other ways.

[Arti]

I think that most are con artists, be it for money or attention. I'm ready to accept some form of ESP in humans, though.

[redcrx]

one answer to cover all?
id say that there are some who seem to be able to see things, many who are just good at vague comments and a few again who are just con artists

[starone]

Of course they are con-artists. A good way of taking money from the gullible.

I went to a fortune tellers and it was closed due to unforseen circumstances - didn't bother going back.

[craft1948]

Well I haven't got the husband they said I would, and I haven't got the money they promised, and I've actually less children than was foretold...............but apart from that they've been pretty much spot on.............

[roxybella]

i was just asking as i went to one today and all she knew was my first name and was spot on even down to where i work, that i'm seeing someone and no one knows about it ....lots of stuff that freaked me out

[supersuezy24]

I don't believe it is all a trick, my mam had a spiritual healer out to our house a few years back, me and my brother were both out when she came to the house, she told my mam things about me and my mannerisms that she could not of possibly known. My boyfriend at the time had broke up with me a few days before she came to the house, i only told one of my friends at the time as I was in such a state..She was able to tell my mam this..
She also knew stuff about my brother and granny that she could not of possibly known.. so in answer to your question no i do not think it is all a trick.

They are all con artists who prey on people's fears for gain. This applies also to priests, clergy, etc all the way up to the Pope.

[supersuezy24]

Canary, the woman who came to my home was not preying on us nor was it for financial gain as she would not accept payment

[Calibax]

There is nothing that psychics etc can do that can't be replicated by stage magicians/mentalists. It therfore seems to me most likely that they are using the same deceptions/cold reading etc.

[supersuezy24]

No amount of deception or cold reading could tell this woman what she told my mother about me

[steg]

i've met a few shaman and i'm not sure if they have psychic powers or not but i am sure that they believe that they have

[supersuezy24]

My cousins done a cycle across America for a charity years ago, before they left for the States they went to see a psychic for "the laugh", who told them several things which would happen to them once they arrived..Every single thing she told them happened. At the time I thought it was scary that someone could know this stuff..now I don't think it's scary just interesting.

[stokemaveric]

cross my palm with silver and i will tell you...

[ELVIS68]

I rang for an appointment once and said I was working nights and couldn`t make it that week and she asked when I finished nights...

If she didn`t know that, what was the point?

[welshlibranr]
