My wife went to a medium thingy, like that Colin Fry geezer, (much to my disgust :p) and she was given a message from the other side :o It IS creepy how they can get so much info from you without knowing you but I'm certain it's all about reading the person and general statistics.

Colin Fry's hilarious.  "Is she in The Spirit?"  :lol:

I have several (mostly female) friends who've been to see mediums/psychics or whatever.  They always come back saying how amazing they were:  "She knew I was married", "She knew my father was dead" (might be the fact you're obviously over 60 yourself....). 

I'd like to go along and observe - I'm sure it's all just very generalised leading questions, then picking up on the answers, reading body language and making educated guesses. 

But again, if they came out with something they couldn't possibly just guess..... it would freak me out and possibly undermine my whole way of looking at the world.  :? :lol:

Look up the art of "cold reading" and you too can the skillz to become a psycho psychic for fun and profit!

That Acorah bloke is insufferable but he has found another living out there like others entertaining TV addicted plebs, which isn't that hard to do these days. Turn off lights say I can feel an evil presence, feign fear, get the ex Blue Peter presenter to knock something on the floor and say "what was that?' and you have a new program.
