The Randi challenge was retired in 2015. It had one winner (which was an April fools gag by the foundation itself). & Leigh Catherine backed out of taking the test less than ten minutes after this aired with a predictably pathetic excuse.
@@paranormalpabs3745 LOL no he did not. Nobody ever passed Randi's challenge (excluding the aforementioned April Fools prank by Seth Raphael in 2008), nor ever will, since Randi died in 2020.
When you challenge them to prove their “powers” they say they can’t switch it on and off at will, yet when they have a show arranged in advance with paying customers they can always switch it on then. They never get up on the stage and say “sorry, I don’t feel the power tonight”.
The prize was a publicity stunt and does not exist. There is no account of any psychic taking the challenge as they were well aware that it was a stunt.
No one ever took it, the money was real. In his memory there is now an organization (James Randi Foundation) that funds skeptics to take on the "New Wave" of kooks.
Keep on living in denial. The prize was real. The money was real. Nobody stepped up to the challenge because they all knew they'd be found out as crooks when they failed.
Mate... Type in James Randi on youtube. He had a show where people took the challenges and no one won. "no account of any psychic taking the challenge as they were well aware that it was a stunt." Do your research before chattin a load of shit!
***** This prize can no longer be used as an excuse. The believer side has also had a similar prize for decades for any magician to replicate what some mediums do under the same conditions. No takers so far. The Randi one did have takers but were refused for many years.Not one was accepted until it ended.
***** No magician has to date yet replicated what physical mediums do. Give me one example please. Bear in mind that they have to be done under the SAME conditions. No access to the premises beforehand and a bodily search for props. Now go ahead and give me ONE example.
Easily dude , easily , just look how defensive she seems to be getting when being asked normal questions , questions that she is going to be asked all the time for the rest of her "Career" whats even worse is this supposedly being a person to bring comfort to others , what a terrible attitude she seems to have too.
I love how uncomfortable this charlatan is during the whole programme. Her Whole body language is screaming get me out of here!!! And she never took up the offer to prove herself.
k0smon If they are "psychic" then the testing should be no problem. If the results can fall within the realm of chance, then anyone would have a chance at taking the money.
Anthony Johnson Having attended two materialization seances and talking to them myself, I am sure I can communicate with the dead. I have read much psychic literature. I have been around psychics and mediums for much of my life. I do not have any faith in the bible.
A friend of mine used to own a printing business. A psychic came to him to have some business cards printed. "When will they be ready?" the customer asked. My friend responded with 'You should be able to tell me when they'll be ready!'
Natalie bingo. This is what i was looking for. So she never took that guy's offer to send her to the states huh? 😅 i mean not like she had a chance obviously. Randi kicks ass!
"In an appearance on ITV's This Morning, on September 27, 2011, magician Paul Zenonchallenged Welsh psychic Leigh Catherine (aka Leigh-Catherine Salway) to take the one million dollar challenge and she accepted. Phillip Schofield, a This Morning host, stated that the program would pay for her flights to the US to be tested.[23] Salway subsequently backed out of the challenge, claiming it was "dodgy" and "set up to make it impossible to pass".[24]" from en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_Million_Dollar_Paranormal_Challenge Yeah, it's impossible to pass because it's designed to see if you're legitimate lol
it's reflection. magicians are tricksters and simply project their trickery onto others, in their own mind. however, they neglect that genuine psychics - such as deb webber, kelvin cruickshank, john edward, matt fraser, etc - do not use tricks or cold readings, but are very specific with intimate details they have no other way of knowing. any viewer of sensing murder, or psychic detectives will see real results no magician could ever produce. magicians are fakes. most psychics are fakes. some are genuine. Leigh is calling for the industry to be cleaned up so people can have more confidence. has nobody commenting even listened to this clip?
she explained, she only had time for an interview OR a reading - not both - and if she did the reading, she might have to expose phil's cheating on his wife with his 15yo bf, which he would simply deny, anyway, satisfying the confirmation bias of idiot sceptics.

Derren brown does this, he pulled my wife on stage and gave a very scaryily accurate reading whilst all the time saying "remember this isn't real and its all fake". He knew a lot of stuff.
Yeah, but... is it still fake when they're 100% right? It's weird, but it happens. Look how he freaked out the news lady. She wasn't focused on fake or not. She got swept up in the accuracy for her circumstances. You could tell she was getting a little woozy from the barrage of accurate facts.
@@user-tc5pl3zw3h He literally just explained how he did it and you still ask if it is real? Superstition will be your downfall I am warning you. I am no fortune teller but I can predict this much at least of your future so again I repeat, superstition will be your greatest downfall. Stay away from it.
@user-tc5pl3zw3h a thing to remember is that a lot of what he says is vague, but the target adds the specificity. 'Male family member or close friend, beginning with B', there's a wide scope in that, but she names her father. 'I'm seeing him in a greenhouse or conservatory', which she narrows down to him working with double glazing. Holly seems happy that this is accurate. However, the last bit could easily have been interpreted as he likes to garden, or he works in the shed, or he likes to read in the conservatory. Any one of those, or something else that's interpreted is correct, she could make the connection and suddenly he's nailed it. As he said, they're vague statements that seem specific.
@@douglasnakamura6753 I wouldn't know. They gve me healing on my knee and they didn't ask for anything. That's as far as I went. How much do they charge when you join?
@@douglasnakamura6753 I know someone who does that because I believe there's something in the Bible that speaks of giving ten per cent of your income. That's nothing to do with mediumship. Mediums don't necessarily believe in God or have a religion but I think in the Spiritualist Church you can simply attend the meetings or services without having to pay a penny. You can also go along for healing and you won't be asked for money. Mediums who work as a business are bound by law. I don't know why people always expect them to give their services for free. In many cases they charge less than the plumber who tried to rip me off for ten minutes work.

She might actually believe that she is able to read minds of the dead. I would love this to be true. Can you imagine that you alone can tap into the'minds' of the deceased in their ethereal plane and ttanslate their mental musings to a living audience!! Not sure how having a photo of them helps.
they do. the law doesn't recognise the industry because 95% are fakes, but real psychics do work with police to provide valuable clues. watch sensing murder or psychic detectives.
I see he deleted his comment. His proof that psychics solve crimes was that there was a reality TV show about it. Scotland Yard, the FBI, LAPD, and many other law enforcement agencies have expressed on many occasions that they are unaware of any crime ever being solved due to involvement from a psychic.
She's pissed because he is being very disrespectful. He can't hide his anger and his need to be right. Childish and rude. This is not a respectful discussion.
I would think it's important in an interview to have two sides represented without reproach from the other, i.e. respect, even if you disagree, let them have their say. I know nothing of these two people, but in theory that's how interviews should be conducted.
Then you're wrong. Dara O'Briain did a skit about homeopathy that explained exactly why that is idiotic. You don't need to give credence to moronic ideas that can't prove their truth by publicising them. Respect is earned. These people fleece money from the gullible & the vulnerable. There's nothing worthy of respect about that.
@@frankyjas5184 Yes this guy is magician Paul Zenon who lost his job with Daily Mail after a slander article he wrote about psychic Sally Morgan soon after this. The newspaper had to pay her £125 000.00 in damages. He has since disappeared.
Derren Brown went to the US, where he was unknown at the time, and advertised as a medium. About a dozen people showed up and he told them all sorts of things about their dead relatives. Several were in tears and thanking him. He then told them that he was not a medium, and told them how he did it, ending with a warning to them to be careful of mediums. The guy is brilliant. btw, some mediums don't even know they are cold reading. There are some that are sincere but are reading cues without knowing.
I believe some really think that they can do what they do, but when you are "talking to dead people and can hear them" you are ether fraud or a schizophrenic.
"There are some that are sincere but are reading cues without knowing.". They're the ones who have been brainwashed into thinking they can talk to the dead.
He gave them all a personal reading. He handed each one while they were standing in a circle. He told them to read it and if he'd given anyone the wrong reading to pass it to the person next to them. They all said they had been given the correct reading. Every one was exactly the same.
I took a while to understand it and finally did and believe in you. In fact anyone can talk to the dead. The fake ones are the ones who claim the dead can talk back. 😬
I actually had a reading with her about 10 years ago. Spent half of it bragging now gifted she was. Can safely say none of her ‘ predictions’ came true 🤣
"Are All Psychics Fake?" - Interesting question. Let me put a few other interesting questions out there: "Is magic real?" - "Do witches fly on broomsticks?" - "Can wizards cast fireballs?" - These are the questions we should be asking in the 21st century!
I think the problem with the question "Is Magick real?" we just don't have any idea what Magick is. There are those who will tell you they have ALL of the answers, when in reality they know NOTHING. We just dont know. There are strange experiences to be had, but generally these experiences RAISE more questions than answers. And as in the question itself, it is such a big question and vague in itself to begin with. "Can wizards cast fireballs?"- If i saw someone shoot fireballs out of their hand, i would want to see the gizmo that made it possible. Because there would have to be a scientific explanation for it. Again, we simply don't know enough to give a hard and fast explanation.
johntrevy1 "When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me."
YouDontSeeMe If from a certain point of interpretation that you have taken, then yes they are all frauds. (And there are loads, but Again we DONT know what magick is).
he's fake. relying on tricks. or perhaps he doesn't realise he is psychic. fakes are the worst - like actors pretending to be doctors. the best GENUINE psychics, include: john edward, deb webber, kelvin cruickshank and matt fraser. watch them for REAL psychic demonstrations: ruclips.net/video/NF7g0d4VSYQ/видео.htmlm26s
" john edward, deb webber, kelvin cruickshank and matt fraser." All outed frauds who can't even approach the level of accuracy Derren Brown can while admitting he uses no psychic powers. You really do need to shut the fuck up Superdunce. Your hot reading links are horseshit.
+Babycakes Carson I know exactly how she feels. I think most people can relate, if you've ever been accused of something. It's frustrating when you're being attacked and it's awkward. It's hard for me to watch someone being attacked like that because of how I grew up, it happened to me all the time.
stepfanie Carson Yeah, you're right there are a lot of psychics who intentionally scam people. However, that doesn't mean all of them do. I just think it's messed up to assume that she or anyone else is scamming people. In my opinion if your intention is to help people, and you truly believe you have psychic abilities then you aren't scamming people. Also people willingly pay, so it's their decision.
I saw a video of a guy who was pretended to be a palm reader for some jollies at university and after a few years convinced himself he was an actual doing incredibly accurate readings based on people's reactions. About 10 years in he wanted to prove to himself how good he was by telling people the exact opposite of what the palms 'said'. To his surprise the people reacted in exactly the same way as they had done before. He then realised that it was all about the presentation.
I haven't read all the responses, but think it should be noted that she ultimately refused to take Randi's Million Dollar Challenge, I guess it was too sciency and she thought she would fail it, which she would have.
Randi does not accept challenges from real mediums. This is a known fact as there is a reciprocal $1M challenge from Victor Zammit to Randi to replicate what his medium does. So far he cannot do so.
***** You are so right about that. A number of people who have agreed to take the test got half way thru when Randi just stopped communicating with them. There is no recourse because you had to sign away all your rights.
@@drakocarrion And there are SO many people out there, willing to prey on the downtroden and unfortunate people in our society. They have no conscience.
They not all fake, most are bt some have bewildered skeptics, many psychics will not touch that reward money as it's forbidden in any way to make profit from your gift, you don't need to be an expert to know this. Anyone who does their research on the subject knows even a genuine psychic will not show off for a huge profit, the gift is to constitute to the human race, not abuse it
When Groucho Marx was at a seance, the medium said to him, "I am in contact with the spirit world. Ask any question and the spirit world will answer." Groucho said, "What's the capital of Minnesota?"
How can something be general and specific at the same time? Simple. Say I tell you "I'm sensing something. You've been having money troubles." On the surface, that is a very general statement. Who doesn't have money troubles? But say you had recently gotten behind in bills due to an injury that caused you to take unpaid time off work. In your head, you're going to think that is what I was I must have been sensing. To you, it feels like I just made a very specific claim.
I love how she willingly admits that there are frauds (Not her of course) and informs us that we the public are not fools. How can she possibly be fake when she says things like that? A case of "Always be sincere, even if you have to fake it".

@@benedictearlson9044 100%. & that's a verifiable fact considering trading standards keep a public record of any complaints made. It's almost as if she doesn't know what trading standards is. Much like she doesn't know anything else.
Hello. Yes there are definitely con artists and fakes. There may even be a certain amount of deluded people, however, I personally as a psychic never 'read' anyone's body language etc or asked questions or fished for answers. My job as I saw it was to be a person of integrity who delivers a specific message from those in spirit. My accuracy rate was high in terms of peoples' responses to what they were told. Now for the question, why do psychics charge money? Well, in my case, it was my job of work, my way to pay my bills and keep a roofe over my head. Ask a plumber, Joiner, or othger tradesperson or service person to come to you and work for free and you'll get your answer! One of the most satisfying aspects for me was bringing people closure or comfort through my readings. YES... among psychics and mediums there are those who prey on the vulnerable but....don't lump genuine people in with these fakes! As for these stage magicians who think everyone is conning someone else, they are so skeptical and determined to debag genuine psychics that they lose track of the genuine people.
Oh yes? Schizophrenia is a mental illness caused by a chemical imbalancein the brain which can be rectified by certain prescribed drugs. Psychic (from the Greek 'psyche') information about people you don't know and which is verified by the 'stranger' you give the message to is a long long way away from psychiatric illness in that it is coherent 'though un-sorted pieces of personal info to be either verified at the time or later on when the person reflects on what was given. Thank you for your rapid, if unfounded analysis of my spiritual gifts. :)
Hello evil B, unfortunately, as honest as I am and try to be, neither I, nor other 'true' psychics could convince mister Randi, because his tests are always 'skewed' in favour of no one winning the million dollars...a bit like the coconut shy's or other stalls at fairgrounds. As for the million dollars...money's a necessity to pay bills and keep a roof over your head, but as long as I can enjoy life, have my health and be happy, then that's all I really need. We (humans) are all psychic!!! S'true....even you! The thing is, some people (IMO) are born with the psychic abilites turned on and others, like myself had to develop these later in life. Finally, my job is NOT to convince anyone. You (general public) either believe or you don't...end of story. :)
Actually the burden of proof lies on you to prove the supernatural ability you claim to have, NOT on the 'cynics' or on the general public to prove otherwise. You're making genuinely astounding claims, Mr Java; that you can communicate with dead people! Astounding claims require astounding evidence to back them up. You offer none. If I were to claim that I could run 100 metres in 2 seconds, an astounding claim, people would quite rightly challenge me to prove it. The James Randi test is designed to wheedle out fraudsters and the deluded. Anyone with genuine magical powers (for that is what they would be) would pass the test easily. Plenty have tried, all have failed miserably. It's possible you BELIEVE you have magic powers. That perhaps shields you from being an out-and-out fraud, but certainly puts you into the deluded camp.
The short answer is yes. Some of them don't know and have fooled themselves into thinking they can talk to the dead but they are all fake and some of them are predators.
Until they go on JREF telly and utterly fail in front of the country. You gotta think that will take them down a peg, despite their on-TV guffaws that "the equipment must be interfering because it never fails at home."
@@A-Milkdromeda-Laniakea-Hominid people will always find a way to protect their beliefs even when they have no justification for them. That's why religion is still so prevalent around the world despite there being not one speck of proof.
Completely agreed. The answer to the question: "are phychics are frauds?" is yes, but only to the extend that many of them have also fooled themselves. There are true frauds out there. Those who know it's all bollocks and are actively lying. But most psychics have fooled themselves first, and others second. Most of them are not lying when they say they have a gift. They are wrong, but they aren't lying.
Orson Welles discussed this during an interview once...some individuals are so good at reading people, they become convinced they have psychic abilities.
agree, some delude themselves into thinking that are actually psychic or that what they are giving the clients is exactly what they want to hear which justifies the duplicity in their own minds. Many of the clients want to believe it is real themselves so badly that they will ignore common sense and all the misses of the psychic.
It’s funny how psycho sally said that there’s no way for her two technicians to communicate with her but thinks it’s reasonable to suggest she talks with the dead lol.
I love Paul Zenon....Straight to the point and his views tell us all about 'cold reading'....Thank you Paul, for enlightening the public to cold reading and bringing the falsehoods of mediumship to the general public. And thank you again ❤
9:08 "Shit, I'm being exposed here,," I wonder how she can sleep at night knowing she is conning grieving people out of their money with false claims. This is the worst sort of human,
She’s such a liar. ‘I don’t even know what cold reading is’. Anyone claiming to be a psychic will have faced that accusation. Why do people still fall for such nonsense/woo? Quoting anecdotes from people you’ve duped is not evidence.
+Bert Turbaville... great reply! The only thing I disagree with is that I feel (even in 2018) that most people haven't "grown out of it". On a daily basis I still run into more people who believe in Ghosts, Goblins, God, The Devil, Psychics, bigfoot etc..than those who operate with reason and rationale.
the only proven liar is the magician, who was successfully sued by a psychic. there are plenty of genuine psychics who do not do cold readings, but provide intimate details of the departed, without any clues whatsoever. plenty of sceptics have converted after a reading. it's the fakes who bring the industry into disrepute, and if any of you were to actually listen to her, she is advocating cleaning it up. one example of this is "from skeptic to believer - news anchor gets first time reading from a medium" by matt fraser. there are plenty more examples. atheists don't hate unicorns, leprechauns, or elves - because they are not real. they do hate God, because he is real.
superkiwistar she didn’t sue because he wasn’t correct she sued because he’d given away her ‘trade secrets’ in the same way as if she’d told everyone how he does his tricks and ultimately devaluing them. Your other assertions are incorrect also. You also need to learn about burden of proof.
i can see you will soon be parting with your money. i am more familiar with the legal process than most. The Daily Mail has APOLOGISED and agreed to pay £125,000 in libel damages to a TV psychic it FALSELY accused of using a hidden earpiece to scam a theatre audience. The article was by the magician PAUL ZENON. The solicitor Brid Jordan appeared on behalf of the Daily Mail publisher, Associated Newspapers, and APOLOGISED unreservedly for the hidden earpiece claim "which it accepts is UNTRUE". -- in a defamation case, a psychic need not prove anything other than their reputation is damaged by your comments. easy. the burden of proof is on you to prove the truth of your argument. you may convince yourself, but a court of law is different. she will produce satisfied customers. your lawyer will do as zenons did. plead guilty. offer an apology. and pay damages. your legal expenses will be around a hundred grand anyway, before judgement, assuming you use an average solicitor and barrister. if you intend representing yourself, please let me know so i can attend.
superkiwistar so in other words they didn’t have evidence that she used one specific technique even although she probably did. Maybe you’re right - psychic abilities are true - my psychic powers tell me I won’t be parting with any money. I feel a message coming from the other side about your post - do the letters ‘B’ and ‘S’ mean anything to you?
I have not read any comments below. I claim to be psychic. Here is my prediction. She did not win the money. She never even showed up for the challenge. How did I do?
+k0smon The test is most certainly real. Live examples are on RUclips if you care to look and get an education. And to the best of my knowledge it is still on the table by the James Randi Foundation.
+1gallimaufry Most certainly not. It was never real. A lot of claims by the unamazing Randi, but it was just another one of his magic tricks. You are not up to date. The 'challenge' has been terminated. Randi has resigned.
+k0smon First off Randi retired, not resigned. Big difference. Second, the challenge as it was is no longer offered. To many crackpots wasting the foundations time. The million is however still up for grabs. Just tighter restrictions on applications. Go to his website for the explanation. I am really interested to know what makes you think the tests are not real but these psychics are. As I said before, RUclips is full of videos showing the tests. Just because you do not like the results, you choose to dismiss them. By the way, Randi never had any direct involvement in the tests. He sent "negative vibrations" according to psychics who took the test. RIGHT!
+1gallimaufry See the article "The Myth of the Million Dollar Challenge" The big red flag is that you must sign away all your rights to sue. That way, Randi can do as he pleases as he has no obligation to anyone as they cannot sue him if he screws with them. The 'tests' were done over time and not subject to a YT segment. Randi's deal was a setup to entice people into thinking it was an honest test when the reality was that it was setup so no one could win.
untrue. happened in auckland. police searched everywhere for a missing child. thought she had been abducted. psychic's info led police to the body in a drain close to home. in sydney, a psychic led police to the body of a missing kiwi miles from where they had been searching. police said there were no sceptics on the team anymore.
That’s actually untrue tho there has been many mediums all over the world that have worked with the police to uncover crimes to which there has been no leads..
I saw Sally and have seen a couple of other well known psychics (in theatre settings) and these experiences completely convinced me that what I was seeing was cold reading. It was even more obvious than you might expect and I couldnt believe that other ppl there couldn't see it. Maybe if someone wants to believe something enough it blinds them to what is actually happening in front of them.
When you have bought a ticket to one of these shows using a credit card, they have the ability to look you up & give specific details (also known as a hot read). Private detectives do this all the time & nobody thinks they have magical powers.
@@drakocarrion i can well believe it. At Sally she asked people to drop a,piece of paper into a bowl on the way in with the name of a loved one and a message. She brought the bowl on stage and would go to it whenever things weren't going well. Which they were not. She "misfired" so many times. Desperstely sweeping the room when a particular name that "popped in" drew a blank with the audience, changeing the name, throwing out names like a scattergun. Ppl were coming forward with the most tenuous links and then being cold read. She wasn't even good at making it look convincing.. I went in with a (fairly) open mind and came out feeling like I needed a shower.
@@traceychalkley9946 spiritual meetings are always on a Tuesday! why? they spend the weekend studying the bereavement section in your local paper, go to the town where the meetings is booked, then just . sit in your local pub, cafe, and listen to the local gossip .. so by Tuesday they'll know all about that poor mother, who's just lost a child. and turns up at the spiritual meeting on Tuesday ABSOLUTELY DESPERATE to be able to contact them. it's sick and twisted and all its about is making money .. Read about Doris Stokes . it's exactly what they do .
It’s funny how when the spirits are trying to give their name, the psychic can only get vague bits of info “I’m getting a ‘J’ or a ‘G’ name...” but as soon as they’ve got specifics out the way, the spirits can then ramble off lots of specific (and generic) detail in fluency, eg “she’s saying you’re loved, she is with you at night and you’ll hear her when you’re in your bed. She’s saying she’s happy now and in a better place and no longer in any pain...”. Why can the spirits say all this info but can’t get their own name out? 🙄
Wow his fake reading example was perfectly accurate for me with the exception of the recurring dream. Its amazing how easily we're fooled into thinking we're special, when most of those kind of statements literally can apply to almost everyone. Same idea with horoscopes.
It didn't touch on me at all. I'm an introvert don't have a friend who's recently screwed me over, never hurt my left leg no scar, never had an older man figure with the letter B it was all wrong
yeah these things don't work on everyone, but they're generalized enough to work for just enough people that they can falsely appear to actually be doing something more than just manipulating people
It all works best for cons when people start "interpreting" what the con is saying instead of letting them tell them EXACTLY what the details are and it be something they never knew, but can proven. My challenge still stands. I will pay $35,000, (my life savings at the moment) to any psychic who contacts me without 10 minutes of this post, by email or phone and answers the questions I have in my head that I want answered. If you are truly psychic, you should know my name, how to contact me (ask a ghost to find out for you if it is too difficult, since you can talk to the dead, too.) and give me the answers without me saying more than "Hello". Starting... NOW.
If a court considers a foot print proof of murder than at least stop pretending that we have "no proof" of the afterlife. There is plenty of evidence. Even scientific. Even people that die and return with evidence is shut down. So tell me smart ass, what do you need to win this million dollar test? In order to prove something you must find it yourself, you cannot rely on others to prove things for you.
@@SLashafrass show me one person that has died and returned with evidence of the afterlife? In order to win the prize you need to demonstrate your supposed supernatural power in a controlled environment and it needs to be repeatable.

@@SLashafrass I have researched claims of the afterlife before, I haven't came across that show. Where what they claimed tested and repeated? What is the name of the show?
This girl has conned herself into belief. The major aspect of the thing Paul is talking about is that we have people preying upon the broken hearts of others who have lost loved ones and are desperate to comunicate with them again. These con-artists use that to convince people that what they are hearing is actually the voices of the people they have lost. That is cruel, lies and horrible. And it should be exposed at all turns.
k0smon Well considering that in our history of pyschics and mediums there has not been one, not one, instance of proof of either life after death or any human ever to have any sort of extra sensory perception, pyschic abilities or powers to speak with the dead. Not one, ever. James Randi has a very famous challenge to any psychic out there that can prove their "powers" none have ever proved any such powers. You show me one instance of proof and I will believe you.
Jammsbro: If you want to hear the actual voices of those they have lost, you have to go to a materialization seance. A medium can only relay what she receives.
k0smon There has never been any proof at all of any existence after death. None, ever. If there had been it would change the world and would not be a niche belief market (one where it only works if you believe in it). If these people could actually prove that there is life after death they would do so, yet under every single test, challenge and example ever shown they have failed miserably. Every single one. You know why? Because they are lying, to themselves and others.
Jammsbro It depends on what you will accept as proof. Every seance, every medium contacting spirit, ghost sighting, EVP, are proof to me, but not to you. Mediums were tested at U. of Arizona, and for TV programs in US, AU, and there were winners each time. You make outrageous claims, using words like never, and every. You have no way of knowing this. So calm down and get real. You are not all-knowing as you try to pretend you are.
There was a local psychic fair, I was bored, so I decided to go get a reading -first time in my life. I researched the psychics and found the one with the best credentials and reviews and off I went. She said I'm under a lot of stress from my job and was grieving the loss of a close family member. Well, I'm retired, aged 55 so there is a good chance one of my parents have passed away (55+30=85 >> average age of people when they die)....but lo and behold, both parents and all close family members in great health. She then suggested someone had cancer...nope, wrong again beee-atch! The guessing game went on and on, each time she looked at my face for a reaction. In the end, she said someone with black hair who was a teacher is watching over me. Well, nope, only one teacher in my extended family and he was actually a principal when he died. All the questions convinced me they play a guessing game with you and know the odds of how often 'something' is somehow in your life.
Exactly ,I do it all the time (for fun) For example let me tell you, someone very close to you has just lost a pet, and it has been quite devastating for them, not sure if it is was a cat or a dog, but the little dear was white. You have had problems with pains in your knees or back lately, and this has been worrying you, but I can tell you that you shouldn't worry too much, as it will pass and there will not be any need for an operation, as foreseen by a physician. A close relative will be visiting soon, and there will be great news for your family, I see a period of joy and happiness that will bring your family together. I could go on for hours lol
I have often wondered how they'd weasel their way out of it if you just went along with their first answer to everything & then revealed you'd been making the whole thing up at the end.
If the "psychic" hasn't researched you, one of the main things that stuffs up a reading is giving only yes or no type answers and not feeding them all the extra info they rely on for a cold reading. There are some good example of this on RUclips . It soumds like you might have done this also.
@D Fraser What a load of BS. In 180 years of modern mediumship not one single supernatural/paranormal phenomenon has ever been definitively proven genuine. The math isn't hard, the fact you never charged is irrelevant you still do considerable damage by changing people's perceptions and memories of their loved ones and replacing them with ones not based on reality, psychics and mediums are immoral, you're grief vultures.
Very interesting to watch a professional liar at work, the eyes are very dark and the body language is very masculine for a woman and the way she rolls her eyes in distain trying to give the impression he is lying is very manipulative to say the least.

@@teeteringonthebrink.305 I was devastated to discover that he had died. He was a hero of mine. We lost a great shield and spear in the phalanx against the credulous and spurious, if you’ll forgive a needlessly poetic way of putting it.
After over 50 years and thousands of failed applicants JREF determined the Paranormal Challenge was no longer productive. After so many were exposed, con-artists were no longer taking up the challenge and the organization was spending too much resources handling applicants with mental issues tastefully. So they were able to reassign the funds held aside for this to helping others who expose the con-artists.
I had a private sitting with this lady and she's so not fake. She said that both me and my wife had a birthday coming up in the next twelve months. Scary!
I watched Derren Brown perform at a local theatre last night. The shit he could tell a person based on their appearance, the tiniest, imperceptible movement in their body language when he said certain things, you’d think he was in their head. Cold reading is very real, some people are just better at it than others. This isn’t to say psychics etc, aren’t legit but thus far after all these years we’re yet to see it. I remain unconvinced, as should everyone
Derren has often said that his team has access to the premises weeks beforehand and can lay the props. He also has to interview each participant to check if they are psychologically strong enough. This gives him time to hypnotise them. Sometimes his whole audience are paid students except for the participants. Real psychics do not have this advantage. .
@@MarcoSorsa _"Real psychics "_ What real psychics? There aren't any so far. Psychics can do many of those things as well. They can easily get information on people coming to their shows. They can easily listen in on people at their shows. You're suggesting extreme scenarios. Brown does not do that with most of his performances. The fact that Brown is so good doesn't prove psychics aren't real of course. But it shows that what with a little skill and perhaps some preparation you can do what the psychics do. After seeing Brown, John Edward looks pretty amateur.
I’ve experienced one medium who impressed me because she gave information to someone I was with who I knew wasn’t a plant & she was incredibly accurate about things she absolutely couldn’t have gleaned from him as a) he arrived late after the event had started, so she couldn’t have heard him say anything; b) he was wearing a turtleneck with a necklace completely covered by his turtleneck & she identified a Star of David & an Ankh on the chain - which he had. She had all sorts of other info that was incredible. That being said, I’ve seen enough Derek Brown to know that it’s possible to scam people & that’s what most ‘psychics’ do.
_All_ "psychics". Not one has won a lottery or _accurately_ gave a date of a calamity. Some people do have intuition but nobody is psychic or all-knowing. ❤
HA HA HA The look at the Leigh Catherines face is priceless. She knows she is being shown to be a fake.When Paul Zenon asked for evidence and proof she did what all fake psychics do avoid the question and hurry the conversation along to something else to divert the audience from thinking how fake it is.
It's nine years later and the One Million Dollar prize from the James Randi Foundation has not been claimed. Many claim that they will take the challenge, but never do. Leigh Catherine, either never took the challenge or she failed the challenge. It's very difficult to produce proof and evidence of something that does not exist.
@@ThereIsNoLord I agree. I just have noticed rich guys tends to go for young women regardless of how old they are themselves. And by her activity on psychic she is either a scammer or delusional at best, that two red flags imo.
If the dead want to communicate why have victims like Jimmy Hoffa not come through to tell who did them in and where they are buried? It's always 'auntie Betty' to say they're no longer in pain and happy and watching over you.
This is quite opposite of how this would go down on US television. It would be lots of shouting, interruption and nothing much being said. Sadly, many here like such rubbish discussions.
drakocarrion As far as we know there isn't one but there still could be a real psychic out there Since there are more than 7 billion people on this planet it is super hard to disprove this for a 100% but I'm for a 99.99% sure they don't exist.
Joost Don't talk such utter tripe. If someone GENUINELY had psychic powers it'd be huge news & they'd be a big star considering that literally nobody has psychic powers. You telling me if a man, independently of the technology we have developed to be able to do so, could fly we wouldn't know about it pretty damn sharpish considering it'd be a phenomenon? it's ridiculous to even suggest there are psychics.
drakocarrion Dude I know they aren't real can't you read? I'm just talking about proving this stuf. you can't tell me that you have proof that there isn't one out there.
Joost I don't need to prove there isn't one out there. They don't exist. They're fiction. I can say in exactly the same way as saying there are no fairies & unicorns that there are no psychics & it's 100% correct. Asking me to prove they don't exist is like asking me to prove Spiderman isn't real. It's pure stupidity.
How come the spirits only give one letter at a time, ‘I’m getting a ‘J’, is there a’J’ name anywhere?’, 😂😂, couldn’t they just tell you the whole info?
They don't, they are far more specific than initials unless they were known as that here. That's a 'hook - in' used by charlatans. A woman's name beginning with 'M' is a surefire one expanding it to 'starts with an `M`and an ' A' Mare sounding' and in populations with high numbers of Roman Catholics 'Mary'. The other eye-rolls I have heard are "Someone who had connections with the sea, maybe docks" in Liverpool. "An elder who had a budgie" in Lancashire and first position has to go to the daddy of them all "I am picking up a person who died with a problem to do with the chest"🤔 Evvverry single hand... 🙄 😂
@@debramoss2267 LOL they are ALL Charlatans. Not one has ever been proven. The supernatural has no evidence. The JREF award still has not been claimed. Go get it if you can prove it. $1 M in cash. No strings.
i do it when i meet someone for the first time. they say "nice to meet you, I'm (insert name)" and i say " ah yes, nice to meet you. my name begins with an s, or has an s somewhere in it." sounds rediculous does it not? these shows should be made illegal.
Correct mate, i asked a fake psychic who said she was talking to my late father to ask him for his name and where he worked ? she went silent and ended the reading, i said see your a fake she told me to f off. ha ha ha.
I'm sorry that I misunderstood you. It is sometimes hard to tell by just reading the print. That said there is no need to call me names. That's what an ass like Trump would do!

For the record, this woman, Leigh Catherine, never took the challenge, and to this day the Randi Challenge has never been thwarted by anyone...
The Randi challenge was retired in 2015. It had one winner (which was an April fools gag by the foundation itself). & Leigh Catherine backed out of taking the test less than ten minutes after this aired with a predictably pathetic excuse.

When you challenge them to prove their “powers” they say they can’t switch it on and off at will, yet when they have a show arranged in advance with paying customers they can always switch it on then. They never get up on the stage and say “sorry, I don’t feel the power tonight”.
Good point
Brilliant!
Agreed 👍🏻
Even they refer to it as a 'show'. Like any other peice of theatre
Most of them have to meditate to build up energy before arriving for a sitting.
No surprise that years later there's no evidence of her taking the challenge.
The prize was a publicity stunt and does not exist. There is no account of any psychic taking the challenge as they were well aware that it was a stunt.
No one ever took it, the money was real. In his memory there is now an organization (James Randi Foundation) that funds skeptics to take on the "New Wave" of kooks.
Keep on living in denial. The prize was real. The money was real. Nobody stepped up to the challenge because they all knew they'd be found out as crooks when they failed.

If they are "psychic" then the testing should be no problem. If the results can fall within the realm of chance, then anyone would have a chance at taking the money.
Anthony Johnson Having attended two materialization seances and talking to them myself, I am sure I can communicate with the dead. I have read much psychic literature. I have been around psychics and mediums for much of my life. I do not have any faith in the bible.

it's reflection. magicians are tricksters and simply project their trickery onto others, in their own mind. however, they neglect that genuine psychics - such as deb webber, kelvin cruickshank, john edward, matt fraser, etc - do not use tricks or cold readings, but are very specific with intimate details they have no other way of knowing. any viewer of sensing murder, or psychic detectives will see real results no magician could ever produce. magicians are fakes. most psychics are fakes. some are genuine. Leigh is calling for the industry to be cleaned up so people can have more confidence. has nobody commenting even listened to this clip?

@user-tc5pl3zw3h a thing to remember is that a lot of what he says is vague, but the target adds the specificity. 'Male family member or close friend, beginning with B', there's a wide scope in that, but she names her father. 'I'm seeing him in a greenhouse or conservatory', which she narrows down to him working with double glazing. Holly seems happy that this is accurate.
However, the last bit could easily have been interpreted as he likes to garden, or he works in the shed, or he likes to read in the conservatory. Any one of those, or something else that's interpreted is correct, she could make the connection and suddenly he's nailed it. As he said, they're vague statements that seem specific.

You can also go along for healing and you won't be asked for money. Mediums who work as a business are bound by law. I don't know why people always expect them to give their services for free.

You are not contacting with the dead but with demons who are deceiving you by giving you half of the truth about the deceased person.
Derren Brown went to the US, where he was unknown at the time, and advertised as a medium. About a dozen people showed up and he told them all sorts of things about their dead relatives. Several were in tears and thanking him. He then told them that he was not a medium, and told them how he did it, ending with a warning to them to be careful of mediums. The guy is brilliant. btw, some mediums don't even know they are cold reading. There are some that are sincere but are reading cues without knowing.
I watched that too. I love Derren Brown he's beyond amazing. Totally took them in.
As Derren rightly says, “It's all a load of bullshit!” Top bloke is our Derren. I really enjoy it when he exposes the con artists and shysters.
I believe some really think that they can do what they do, but when you are "talking to dead people and can hear them" you are ether fraud or a schizophrenic.
"There are some that are sincere but are reading cues without knowing.". They're the ones who have been brainwashed into thinking they can talk to the dead.
He gave them all a personal reading. He handed each one while they were standing in a circle. He told them to read it and if he'd given anyone the wrong reading to pass it to the person next to them. They all said they had been given the correct reading. Every one was exactly the same.

"Are All Psychics Fake?" - Interesting question. Let me put a few other interesting questions out there: "Is magic real?" - "Do witches fly on broomsticks?" - "Can wizards cast fireballs?" -
These are the questions we should be asking in the 21st century!
I think the problem with the question "Is Magick real?" we just don't have any idea what Magick is. There are those who will tell you they have ALL of the answers, when in reality they know NOTHING. We just dont know. There are strange experiences to be had, but generally these experiences RAISE more questions than answers. And as in the question itself, it is such a big question and vague in itself to begin with.
"Can wizards cast fireballs?"- If i saw someone shoot fireballs out of their hand, i would want to see the gizmo that made it possible. Because there would have to be a scientific explanation for it. Again, we simply don't know enough to give a hard and fast explanation.

he's fake. relying on tricks. or perhaps he doesn't realise he is psychic. fakes are the worst - like actors pretending to be doctors. the best GENUINE psychics, include: john edward, deb webber, kelvin cruickshank and matt fraser. watch them for REAL psychic demonstrations: ruclips.net/video/NF7g0d4VSYQ/видео.htmlm26s

+Babycakes Carson Having to sit next to that jackass magician would make anyone wish to be elsewhere.
+Babycakes Carson I know exactly how she feels. I think most people can relate, if you've ever been accused of something. It's frustrating when you're being attacked and it's awkward. It's hard for me to watch someone being attacked like that because of how I grew up, it happened to me all the time.
+nibble peaches I think her situation is different then yours,most of these psychics do scam people,their just calling her out on it!
stepfanie Carson Yeah, you're right there are a lot of psychics who intentionally scam people. However, that doesn't mean all of them do. I just think it's messed up to assume that she or anyone else is scamming people. In my opinion if your intention is to help people, and you truly believe you have psychic abilities then you aren't scamming people. Also people willingly pay, so it's their decision.
True!
I saw a video of a guy who was pretended to be a palm reader for some jollies at university and after a few years convinced himself he was an actual doing incredibly accurate readings based on people's reactions. About 10 years in he wanted to prove to himself how good he was by telling people the exact opposite of what the palms 'said'. To his surprise the people reacted in exactly the same way as they had done before. He then realised that it was all about the presentation.
I haven't read all the responses, but think it should be noted that she ultimately refused to take Randi's Million Dollar Challenge, I guess it was too sciency and she thought she would fail it, which she would have.
yvettegr::: Everyone fails it. Thats the way it was designed.
Randi does not accept challenges from real mediums. This is a known fact as there is a reciprocal $1M challenge from Victor Zammit to Randi to replicate what his medium does. So far he cannot do so.
marco sorsa See the the article "The Myth of the Million Dollar Challenge". Randi's test was just another one of his tricks.
***** You are trying to compare apples with oranges. How many thousands of articles have you read about cold reading?
***** You are so right about that. A number of people who have agreed to take the test got half way thru when Randi just stopped communicating with them. There is no recourse because you had to sign away all your rights.
The fakes play on the most vulnerable at a time when they've lost loved ones and are still grieving , it's disgusting because we know it's a scam

@@drakocarrion And there are SO many people out there, willing to prey on the downtroden and unfortunate people in our society. They have no conscience.
They not all fake, most are bt some have bewildered skeptics, many psychics will not touch that reward money as it's forbidden in any way to make profit from your gift, you don't need to be an expert to know this. Anyone who does their research on the subject knows even a genuine psychic will not show off for a huge profit, the gift is to constitute to the human race, not abuse it

... It's closer to a british Carbonara.
Every psychic says the same thing:
"Lots of charlatans and fakes... But not me"
Next question to a psychic that says that is "and how do we tell the difference"?
How can something be general and specific at the same time? Simple. Say I tell you "I'm sensing something. You've been having money troubles." On the surface, that is a very general statement. Who doesn't have money troubles? But say you had recently gotten behind in bills due to an injury that caused you to take unpaid time off work. In your head, you're going to think that is what I was I must have been sensing. To you, it feels like I just made a very specific claim.

2 types of psychics, con artists and deluded people.
EvilB you said it better than I could!
Hello. Yes there are definitely con artists and fakes. There may even be a certain amount of deluded people, however, I personally as a psychic never 'read' anyone's body language etc or asked questions or fished for answers. My job as I saw it was to be a person of integrity who delivers a specific message from those in spirit. My accuracy rate was high in terms of peoples' responses to what they were told.
Now for the question, why do psychics charge money? Well, in my case, it was my job of work, my way to pay my bills and keep a roofe over my head. Ask a plumber, Joiner, or othger tradesperson or service person to come to you and work for free and you'll get your answer!
One of the most satisfying aspects for me was bringing people closure or comfort through my readings.
YES... among psychics and mediums there are those who prey on the vulnerable but....don't lump genuine people in with these fakes!
As for these stage magicians who think everyone is conning someone else, they are so skeptical and determined to debag genuine psychics that they lose track of the genuine people.
Oh yes? Schizophrenia is a mental illness caused by a chemical imbalancein the brain which can be rectified by certain prescribed drugs.
Psychic (from the Greek 'psyche') information about people you don't know and which is verified by the 'stranger' you give the message to is a long long way away from psychiatric illness in that it is coherent 'though un-sorted pieces of personal info to be either verified at the time or later on when the person reflects on what was given.
Thank you for your rapid, if unfounded analysis of my spiritual gifts. :)
Hello evil B, unfortunately, as honest as I am and try to be, neither I, nor other 'true' psychics could convince mister Randi, because his tests are always 'skewed' in favour of no one winning the million dollars...a bit like the coconut shy's or other stalls at fairgrounds. As for the million dollars...money's a necessity to pay bills and keep a roof over your head, but as long as I can enjoy life, have my health and be happy, then that's all I really need.
We (humans) are all psychic!!! S'true....even you! The thing is, some people (IMO) are born with the psychic abilites turned on and others, like myself had to develop these later in life.
Finally, my job is NOT to convince anyone. You (general public) either believe or you don't...end of story. :)
Actually the burden of proof lies on you to prove the supernatural ability you claim to have, NOT on the 'cynics' or on the general public to prove otherwise. You're making genuinely astounding claims, Mr Java; that you can communicate with dead people! Astounding claims require astounding evidence to back them up. You offer none. If I were to claim that I could run 100 metres in 2 seconds, an astounding claim, people would quite rightly challenge me to prove it. The James Randi test is designed to wheedle out fraudsters and the deluded. Anyone with genuine magical powers (for that is what they would be) would pass the test easily. Plenty have tried, all have failed miserably. It's possible you BELIEVE you have magic powers. That perhaps shields you from being an out-and-out fraud, but certainly puts you into the deluded camp.
The short answer is yes. Some of them don't know and have fooled themselves into thinking they can talk to the dead but they
are all fake and some of them are predators.
Until they go on JREF telly and utterly fail in front of the country. You gotta think that will take them down a peg, despite their on-TV guffaws that "the equipment must be interfering because it never fails at home."
@@A-Milkdromeda-Laniakea-Hominid people will always find a way to protect their beliefs even when they have no justification for them. That's why religion is still so prevalent around the world despite there being not one speck of proof.
Completely agreed. The answer to the question: "are phychics are frauds?" is yes, but only to the extend that many of them have also fooled themselves. There are true frauds out there. Those who know it's all bollocks and are actively lying.
But most psychics have fooled themselves first, and others second.
Most of them are not lying when they say they have a gift. They are wrong, but they aren't lying.
Orson Welles discussed this during an interview once...some individuals are so good at reading people, they become convinced they have psychic abilities.
agree, some delude themselves into thinking that are actually psychic or that what they are giving the clients is exactly what they want to hear which justifies the duplicity in their own minds. Many of the clients want to believe it is real themselves so badly that they will ignore common sense and all the misses of the psychic.

9:08 "Shit, I'm being exposed here,," I wonder how she can sleep at night knowing she is conning grieving people out of their money with false claims. This is the worst sort of human,
She’s such a liar. ‘I don’t even know what cold reading is’. Anyone claiming to be a psychic will have faced that accusation. Why do people still fall for such nonsense/woo? Quoting anecdotes from people you’ve duped is not evidence.
+Bert Turbaville... great reply! The only thing I disagree with is that I feel (even in 2018) that most people haven't "grown out of it". On a daily basis I still run into more people who believe in Ghosts, Goblins, God, The Devil, Psychics, bigfoot etc..than those who operate with reason and rationale.
the only proven liar is the magician, who was successfully sued by a psychic. there are plenty of genuine psychics who do not do cold readings, but provide intimate details of the departed, without any clues whatsoever. plenty of sceptics have converted after a reading. it's the fakes who bring the industry into disrepute, and if any of you were to actually listen to her, she is advocating cleaning it up. one example of this is "from skeptic to believer - news anchor gets first time reading from a medium" by matt fraser. there are plenty more examples. atheists don't hate unicorns, leprechauns, or elves - because they are not real. they do hate God, because he is real.
superkiwistar she didn’t sue because he wasn’t correct she sued because he’d given away her ‘trade secrets’ in the same way as if she’d told everyone how he does his tricks and ultimately devaluing them. Your other assertions are incorrect also. You also need to learn about burden of proof.
i can see you will soon be parting with your money. i am more familiar with the legal process than most. The Daily Mail has APOLOGISED and agreed to pay £125,000 in libel damages to a TV psychic it FALSELY accused of using a hidden earpiece to scam a theatre audience. The article was by the magician PAUL ZENON. The solicitor Brid Jordan appeared on behalf of the Daily Mail publisher, Associated Newspapers, and APOLOGISED unreservedly for the hidden earpiece claim "which it accepts is UNTRUE". -- in a defamation case, a psychic need not prove anything other than their reputation is damaged by your comments. easy. the burden of proof is on you to prove the truth of your argument. you may convince yourself, but a court of law is different. she will produce satisfied customers. your lawyer will do as zenons did. plead guilty. offer an apology. and pay damages. your legal expenses will be around a hundred grand anyway, before judgement, assuming you use an average solicitor and barrister. if you intend representing yourself, please let me know so i can attend.
superkiwistar so in other words they didn’t have evidence that she used one specific technique even although she probably did. Maybe you’re right - psychic abilities are true - my psychic powers tell me I won’t be parting with any money. I feel a message coming from the other side about your post - do the letters ‘B’ and ‘S’ mean anything to you?
I have not read any comments below. I claim to be psychic. Here is my prediction. She did not win the money. She never even showed up for the challenge. How did I do?
+1gallimaufry The money cannot be won. She realized it was only a stunt, there was no real test. The 'test' has now been terminated.
+k0smon The test is most certainly real. Live examples are on RUclips if you care to look and get an education. And to the best of my knowledge it is still on the table by the James Randi Foundation.
+1gallimaufry Most certainly not. It was never real. A lot of claims by the unamazing Randi, but it was just another one of his magic tricks. You are not up to date. The 'challenge' has been terminated. Randi has resigned.
+k0smon First off Randi retired, not resigned. Big difference. Second, the challenge as it was is no longer offered. To many crackpots wasting the foundations time. The million is however still up for grabs. Just tighter restrictions on applications. Go to his website for the explanation. I am really interested to know what makes you think the tests are not real but these psychics are. As I said before, RUclips is full of videos showing the tests. Just because you do not like the results, you choose to dismiss them. By the way, Randi never had any direct involvement in the tests. He sent "negative vibrations" according to psychics who took the test. RIGHT!
+1gallimaufry See the article "The Myth of the Million Dollar Challenge" The big red flag is that you must sign away all your rights to sue. That way, Randi can do as he pleases as he has no obligation to anyone as they cannot sue him if he screws with them. The 'tests' were done over time and not subject to a YT segment. Randi's deal was a setup to entice people into thinking it was an honest test when the reality was that it was setup so no one could win.
I don't think that a psychic has EVER found a missing child.

When you have bought a ticket to one of these shows using a credit card, they have the ability to look you up & give specific details (also known as a hot read). Private detectives do this all the time & nobody thinks they have magical powers.

Desperstely sweeping the room when a particular name that "popped in" drew a blank with the audience, changeing the name, throwing out names like a scattergun.

His fake reading applied to me, and that is how you know its fake.
It’s funny how when the spirits are trying to give their name, the psychic can only get vague bits of info “I’m getting a ‘J’ or a ‘G’ name...” but as soon as they’ve got specifics out the way, the spirits can then ramble off lots of specific (and generic) detail in fluency, eg “she’s saying you’re loved, she is with you at night and you’ll hear her when you’re in your bed. She’s saying she’s happy now and in a better place and no longer in any pain...”.
Why can the spirits say all this info but can’t get their own name out? 🙄
@Lillith fair I agree, I meant “funny” as in strange not as in haha.

It didn't touch on me at all. I'm an introvert don't have a friend who's recently screwed me over, never hurt my left leg no scar, never had an older man figure with the letter B it was all wrong
yeah these things don't work on everyone, but they're generalized enough to work for just enough people that they can falsely appear to actually be doing something more than just manipulating people
It all works best for cons when people start "interpreting" what the con is saying instead of letting them tell them EXACTLY what the details are and it be something they never knew, but can proven.

This girl has conned herself into belief.
The major aspect of the thing Paul is talking about is that we have people preying upon the broken hearts of others who have lost loved ones and are desperate to comunicate with them again. These con-artists use that to convince people that what they are hearing is actually the voices of the people they have lost.
That is cruel, lies and horrible. And it should be exposed at all turns.
Jammsbro::: Your opinion. Not necessarily the truth.
k0smon
Well considering that in our history of pyschics and mediums there has not been one, not one, instance of proof of either life after death or any human ever to have any sort of extra sensory perception, pyschic abilities or powers to speak with the dead. Not one, ever.
James Randi has a very famous challenge to any psychic out there that can prove their "powers" none have ever proved any such powers. You show me one instance of proof and I will believe you.
Jammsbro: If you want to hear the actual voices of those they have lost, you have to go to a materialization seance. A medium can only relay what she receives.
k0smon
There has never been any proof at all of any existence after death. None, ever. If there had been it would change the world and would not be a niche belief market (one where it only works if you believe in it). If these people could actually prove that there is life after death they would do so, yet under every single test, challenge and example ever shown they have failed miserably. Every single one. You know why? Because they are lying, to themselves and others.
Jammsbro It depends on what you will accept as proof. Every seance, every medium contacting spirit, ghost sighting, EVP, are proof to me, but not to you.
Mediums were tested at U. of Arizona, and for TV programs in US, AU, and there were winners each time. You make outrageous claims, using words like never, and every. You have no way of knowing this. So calm down and get real. You are not all-knowing as you try to pretend you are.
There was a local psychic fair, I was bored, so I decided to go get a reading -first time in my life. I researched the psychics and found the one with the best credentials and reviews and off I went. She said I'm under a lot of stress from my job and was grieving the loss of a close family member. Well, I'm retired, aged 55 so there is a good chance one of my parents have passed away (55+30=85 >> average age of people when they die)....but lo and behold, both parents and all close family members in great health. She then suggested someone had cancer...nope, wrong again beee-atch! The guessing game went on and on, each time she looked at my face for a reaction. In the end, she said someone with black hair who was a teacher is watching over me. Well, nope, only one teacher in my extended family and he was actually a principal when he died. All the questions convinced me they play a guessing game with you and know the odds of how often 'something' is somehow in your life.
Exactly ,I do it all the time (for fun)
For example let me tell you, someone very close to you has just lost a pet, and it has been quite devastating for them, not sure if it is was a cat or a dog, but the little dear was white. You have had problems with pains in your knees or back lately, and this has been worrying you, but I can tell you that you shouldn't worry too much, as it will pass and there will not be any need for an operation, as foreseen by a physician. A close relative will be visiting soon, and there will be great news for your family, I see a period of joy and happiness that will bring your family together.
I could go on for hours lol
I have often wondered how they'd weasel their way out of it if you just went along with their first answer to everything & then revealed you'd been making the whole thing up at the end.
If the "psychic" hasn't researched you, one of the main things that stuffs up a reading is giving only yes or no type answers and not feeding them all the extra info they rely on for a cold reading. There are some good example of this on RUclips . It soumds like you might have done this also.
You have the same last name as Matt Fraser.
@D Fraser What a load of BS. In 180 years of modern mediumship not one single supernatural/paranormal phenomenon has ever been definitively proven genuine. The math isn't hard, the fact you never charged is irrelevant you still do considerable damage by changing people's perceptions and memories of their loved ones and replacing them with ones not based on reality, psychics and mediums are immoral, you're grief vultures.

I googled him and yes, he passed away two years ago aged 92. Sad news.
You're right, he left us a great legacy. R.I.P. James.
@@teeteringonthebrink.305 I was devastated to discover that he had died. He was a hero of mine. We lost a great shield and spear in the phalanx against the credulous and spurious, if you’ll forgive a needlessly poetic way of putting it.
I believe this was in 2011. It's been 6 years and you haven't yet accepted the challenge. You Charlatan.
She blocked me on twitter when I asked about it. lol
superkiwistar there is no such thing as a genuine psychic & you calling anyone an idiot when you think there is is hilarious hypocrisy
I loved how Leigh's body language drastically changed and how her face became very sullen after the Barnum questions were used for play.
If psychics can speak to the dead, why hasn't one of them colluded with the good Dr Randi on the other side and they could split the million! 🤔 😉😂😂
After over 50 years and thousands of failed applicants JREF determined the Paranormal Challenge was no longer productive. After so many were exposed, con-artists were no longer taking up the challenge and the organization was spending too much resources handling applicants with mental issues tastefully. So they were able to reassign the funds held aside for this to helping others who expose the con-artists.
Great!
I can speak to the dead, it's just getting them to speak back has been the difficult task.
For the same reason that you don't see faith healers working in hospitals or people who say they can predict the future. Who never win the lottery
@@gerarduspoppel2831 'faith healers' do work in hospitals, there are teams in the UK and Australia, in most countries across the world.
I had a private sitting with this lady and she's so not fake. She said that both me and my wife had a birthday coming up in the next twelve months.
Scary!
I think that some of these "psychics" are so good at their act that they genuinely believe their own advertising.
I watched Derren Brown perform at a local theatre last night. The shit he could tell a person based on their appearance, the tiniest, imperceptible movement in their body language when he said certain things, you’d think he was in their head. Cold reading is very real, some people are just better at it than others. This isn’t to say psychics etc, aren’t legit but thus far after all these years we’re yet to see it. I remain unconvinced, as should everyone
Derren Brown is more impressive than any psychic I've seen.
@@markh1011 oh without question. That’s not me fanboying, it’s just facts
Derren has often said that his team has access to the premises weeks beforehand and can lay the props. He also has to interview each participant to check if they are psychologically strong enough. This gives him time to hypnotise them. Sometimes his whole audience are paid students except for the participants.
Real psychics do not have this advantage.

_"Real psychics "_
What real psychics? There aren't any so far.
Psychics can do many of those things as well. They can easily get information on people coming to their shows. They can easily listen in on people at their shows.
You're suggesting extreme scenarios. Brown does not do that with most of his performances. The fact that Brown is so good doesn't prove psychics aren't real of course. But it shows that what with a little skill and perhaps some preparation you can do what the psychics do. After seeing Brown, John Edward looks pretty amateur.
@@MarcoSorsa There are no such thing as real psychics, idiot.
I just checked that video he mentions at 2:20, and she DOES pull off her microphone and then ALSO another ear piece out of her other ear
I’ve experienced one medium who impressed me because she gave information to someone I was with who I knew wasn’t a plant & she was incredibly accurate about things she absolutely couldn’t have gleaned from him as a) he arrived late after the event had started, so she couldn’t have heard him say anything; b) he was wearing a turtleneck with a necklace completely covered by his turtleneck & she identified a Star of David & an Ankh on the chain - which he had. She had all sorts of other info that was incredible. That being said, I’ve seen enough Derek Brown to know that it’s possible to scam people & that’s what most ‘psychics’ do.
Bullshit
Star of David and an ankh ,he was hedging his bets
_All_ "psychics". Not one has won a lottery or _accurately_ gave a date of a calamity. Some people do have intuition but nobody is psychic or all-knowing. ❤
HA HA HA The look at the Leigh Catherines face is priceless. She knows she is being shown to be a fake.When Paul Zenon asked for evidence and proof she did what all fake psychics do avoid the question and hurry the conversation along to something else to divert the audience from thinking how fake it is.
Fake fake fake
@@Dakshahathi Correct, all psychics are fake and scammers FACT.
It's nine years later and the One Million Dollar prize from the James Randi Foundation has not been claimed. Many claim that they will take the challenge, but never do. Leigh Catherine, either never took the challenge or she failed the challenge. It's very difficult to produce proof and evidence of something that does not exist.
She backed out about ten minutes after this aired with a pathetic excuse.
Leigh Catherine should just marry some rich guy. She's pretty fit.
@@ThereIsNoLord it was 9 years ago...
@@Koozomec I bet she's still pretty fit, but maybe a prospect for an older rich guy. I think she comes from a wealthy family anyway.
@@ThereIsNoLord I agree. I just have noticed rich guys tends to go for young women regardless of how old they are themselves.
And by her activity on psychic she is either a scammer or delusional at best, that two red flags imo.
Poor Leigh.. her face is priceless watching all the trade secrets being aired out.. hahahaha
Must have been spirits day off 😂😂😂
@@cabdriveruk ... I bet she needed some spirits out of a bottle after that. 🤣
She's a mouth breather lmao
It's cringeworthy.
They all are fake
If the dead want to communicate why have victims like Jimmy Hoffa not come through to tell who did them in and where they are buried? It's always 'auntie Betty' to say they're no longer in pain and happy and watching over you.
This is quite opposite of how this would go down on US television. It would be lots of shouting, interruption and nothing much being said. Sadly, many here like such rubbish discussions.
What an absolute con woman. If you are real your real 24 hrs a day.
There's no such thing as a real psychic.
drakocarrion As far as we know there isn't one but there still could be a real psychic out there Since there are more than 7 billion people on this planet it is super hard to disprove this for a 100% but I'm for a 99.99% sure they don't exist.
Joost Don't talk such utter tripe. If someone GENUINELY had psychic powers it'd be huge news & they'd be a big star considering that literally nobody has psychic powers. You telling me if a man, independently of the technology we have developed to be able to do so, could fly we wouldn't know about it pretty damn sharpish considering it'd be a phenomenon? it's ridiculous to even suggest there are psychics.
drakocarrion Dude I know they aren't real can't you read? I'm just talking about proving this stuf. you can't tell me that you have proof that there isn't one out there.
Joost I don't need to prove there isn't one out there. They don't exist. They're fiction. I can say in exactly the same way as saying there are no fairies & unicorns that there are no psychics & it's 100% correct. Asking me to prove they don't exist is like asking me to prove Spiderman isn't real. It's pure stupidity.
How come the spirits only give one letter at a time, ‘I’m getting a ‘J’, is there a’J’ name anywhere?’, 😂😂, couldn’t they just tell you the whole info?
They don't, they are far more specific than initials unless they were known as that here. That's a 'hook - in' used by charlatans.
A woman's name beginning with 'M' is a surefire one expanding it to 'starts with an `M`and an ' A' Mare sounding' and in populations with high numbers of Roman Catholics 'Mary'.
The other eye-rolls I have heard are
"Someone who had connections with the sea, maybe docks" in Liverpool.
"An elder who had a budgie" in Lancashire
and first position has to go to the daddy of them all
"I am picking up a person who died with a problem to do with the chest"🤔
Evvverry single hand... 🙄
😂
@@debramoss2267 LOL they are ALL Charlatans. Not one has ever been proven. The supernatural has no evidence. The JREF award still has not been claimed. Go get it if you can prove it. $1 M in cash. No strings.
i do it when i meet someone for the first time. they say "nice to meet you, I'm (insert name)" and i say " ah yes, nice to meet you. my name begins with an s, or has an s somewhere in it." sounds rediculous does it not? these shows should be made illegal.
@@stkeeley yes, I agree. Very misleading and manipulative.
"I'm sensing someone whose name contains the letters RSTLNE."
Fake as a 9pound note if your dead loved ones want to talk to you why go to a stranger.
Correct mate, i asked a fake psychic who said she was talking to my late father to ask him for his name and where he worked ?
she went silent and ended the reading, i said see your a fake she told me to f off. ha ha ha.
Imagine having this incredible skill and not being able to ever demonstrate it.
There is no amazing skill. It's all a lie!!! Wake up and smell the coffee!
@@dennishover4803 That was my point... I guess sarcasm is wasted on the dumb
I'm sorry that I misunderstood you. It is sometimes hard to tell by just reading the print. That said there is no need to call me names. That's what an ass like Trump would do!
@@dennishover4803 your actually completely wrong. I could tell you how you are wrong, but it would be too much to write down.
@@longdongsilver1255 Bullshit!
This girl on here, Leigh, has had plenty of chances on TV shows like this and has NEVER actually managed to come up with ONE thing that could be termed a Pychic talent
Anyone who believes these type of people are actually a worry.
If I told people that I'm hearing voices the community would band together and have me locked in a nut house .and I live in wales ffs
@@aronrhys4920 lol
YES all Psychics are fake 💯 save your money and keep clear of these con artists
I wanted to be a psychic but I couldn’t see any future in it..
🤪😂
I see what you did there,I must be a psychic. Well done Chris lol.
I see a future on the comedy stage . 😆 🤣
