Psychics

[bababoom 4,478]

So whats everyone's thoughts on Psychics?

I personally think they are frauds, and to be honest it's sickening how they play with people's grief, and emotions.I am 99% positive that all of the Psychic's i have seen on TV uses a technique called Cold reading, It's basically a way of making your subject think that you know all about them when really they are giving you the answers without them knowing.

I honestly just think it's sick, and upsetting.

Here's a few examples of 'so called' Psychics failing.

But there are people who debunk it, like James Randi. He has set a challenge to all Psychics and people who claim to have similar abilities. The challenge is called 'The Million Dollar challenge' , and the rules are pretty simple, if someone proves they have Psychic abilities to James Randi in a controlled environment than he will give them a Million dollars. So far no one has actually won the Million dollars.

another video of James Randi talking about Psychics.

If you are interested in this, I highly recommend you watching a program called 'Derren Brown investigates the man who contacts the dead'. It's about a psychic called Joe Power, and he wants to convince Derren brown that his powers are for real and he is not a fraud. It is very good, i must say.

You can watch it here

Thanks for reading and watching the videos, i'll look forward to your reply.

Yes, exactly.

Haha oh really, he sounds a bit paranoid. To be honest i don't mind Derren brown because he doesn't claim to have these all abilities which is fair enough.

Its daft when you have people who go to the conventions,give their name and details etc then are so 'omg he knows my name' when addressing the audience

Yeah they always say -you will meet someone, you will come into money, you will travel etc

Someone needs to lose it and say ''JUST TELL ME WILL CHELSEA WIN THE LEAGUE AND WHAT ARE THE FUCKING WINNING LOTTERY NUMBERS!''

Yes, they still use a method called cold reading., it's not that hard to do to be honest. Here's a link explaining it a bit more http://atheism.about.com/library/FAQs/skepticism/blfaq_skep_cold.htm - I'm on my iPod right now, sorry I can't link it.
