Psychics are full of crap



I went to see a psychic a while ago with my friends, i'm a bit of a skeptic when it comes to psychics however i thought i'd give the guy a chance. The show started at 7.30 so we got there early and took a seat, the place was packed and reeked of pish possibly from the 90% of old women that were there. The guy came out he was fat and bald and looked more like a wrestler than a psychic. " I'm getting the name John" was the first thing he said i wanted to leave, almost everyone in the hall put their hand up he picked out this old women and said it's your father, he passed on due to problems in his chest or abdomen. The old lady was amazed, the auidence gasped,.......... i vomited. The old lady is about 90 clearly her father is dead and problems with the chest or abdomen covers quite a lot of illnesses. He continued with vauge rubbish like:You have a box of old unsorted photographs in your house.( who doesn't?)You're having problems with a friend or relative ( Everyone has problems with friends and family)At the break i heard 2 old women discussing the show and saying how immpressed they were. He's amazing How does he do it? i turned around and said he uses a technique called cold reading, i went on to explain that conmen use it in order to convince another person that they know much more about them than they actually do. Even without prior knowledge of a given person, a cold reader could still quickly obtain a great deal of information about his subject by carefully analyzing his or her body language clothing or fashion hairstyle gender religion race or ethnicity education level, manner of speech and place of origin. This is called profiling They looked at me blankly and said yeah but how did he know that womans man was called john? I gave up, if people want to believe in rubbish it's up to them . My opinion ALL PSYCHICS ARE FULL OF CRAP.....
