Is there such a thing?

No, there is no such thing as a "legit" psychic. Just better showmanship and able to fool the gullible more who do not understand how the trick/show is done.

It's actually an art form and unless you understand how cold-reading techniques are done it may seem like psychic ability but it's just like a magic trick. Before you know how it's done it looks like magic.

I'm sorry about the loss of your friend but they're gone and no amount of conmen/women are going to help you by telling you a bunch of crap after they fish for info and feed it back to you.

Yep.

Two clues: they ask questions constantly and respond to the answers you give with a "because".

Example:

Charlatan: "do you know someone who passed on recently, someone with an 'E' initial?"
Gullible: "yes, my best friend died 2 years ago - her name was Sue and there's an 'E' in Sue."
Charlatan: "...because she told me that she's worried you aren't moving on".

The "because" answer changes with every bit of info you provide from their fishing.

Why do they ask questions? A legit physic should be able to look at you and tell you what you want to know without fishing.

LOL, I don't remember what his original post was (shame on me for not quoting it - I usually do), but it was some sort of out-of-nowhere gay bashing post.

FWIW, I don't know if the OP deleted it or if a moderator did, but I had nothing to do with the comment being deleted.

..are you talking about me?


No, responding to your "?". The poster I originally responded to did some gay bashing (perhaps just satirically, I can't recall) and my "Brokeback" comment addressed that.

You asked what my comment was about, but I don't recall exactly since the guy I responded to deleted his comment or the mods did.

But since it came from me, it had to be sharp, biting, and brilliant!!!

"Legit Psychic"? I don't think so. They're just performers paid to entertain.

Exactly.

Anyone with any real psychic power would be employed by governments, not doing traveling show type expositions.

I'm waiting for one physic to prove his powers by being introduced to a person he/she's never met. The "psychic" would ask no questions, but would just tell what he knows about this person - and be specific. Not just first letters of names, but real names, places, and dates.
