Flailing away on Anderson Cooper


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flw_xLqS3UE

This is fantastic. Notice how she looks for leads with the first man, asking about a chair, and legs, and when he doesn't turn out to be a good avenue for her, she simply MOVES ON. That is cold reading gone wrong.

This woman is a total scam artist. Shame on her for preying on the vulnerable.



I look forward to your next syllable with great eagerness.

I can't get over the way she just skips that man. He starts to tell her about how his wife died from some gall bladder issue, and because it didn't fit with her read, she interrupts him with "WHO'S GOT A PROBLEM WITH LEGS?" and walks away.

Because, honestly, she could give a crap about that man, or his wife. Or anyone else's.

I missed that but I've seen her on other shows flailing away! Tonight on Letterman she did nothing. Oh, she heard Ed Sullivan himself, but then later detected "a man" who "stood here" and that was about it.

She's worse than an amateur, "I see an 'M', anyone in your life with an 'M'? Meh... Mehm...". She actually said that to Dr. (Mehmet) Oz!

How is it that someone's grandfather tells her he's happy and loves her in detail yet she can only guess at Grandpa's name with an initial? In the afterlife I guess the only thing we can't do is speaking our full names!


Scarlett shot first!

How did she know about the European trip that woman had took? I don't know if she's a total fake or not, but she does ask a lot of questions that fit her needs. It's more impressive when she does a 1 on 1, because there is no one else in the room who can answer her questions. So if the dead is actually giving her info, it would have to pertain to the person in front of her. I wish they had her in a booth and just picked a few people from the audience to go in and talk to her. See if she got any readings then. She is entertaining though. Very funny lady.

EXACTLY.

When she does group reading, she sometimes says "Give me a second, there are a lot of spirits."
Being in a room with over +100 people and their loved ones trying to communicate probably gets crazy! Her being a professional, she tries to stay professional at all times but sometimes it's hard.

Also, she probably skipped the guy because it wasn't his wife she was connecting with.

There's a party in my tummy!

You're being sarcastic, right? Right?

Sarcastic about what? I thought PrettyLegit made some good points.

I thin you are thinking of Char Margolis - another medium that visited the Dr. Oz show awhile back. Here is an excerpt from the Dr. Oz website about it.

Char told Dr Oz that she felt someone with the initial M hanging around him. She asked Dr Oz who Sunny was. Dr Oz didn’t know. Char identified that the M may be his grandfather. Dr Oz told Char that his grandfather had his name (Mehmet). Char said M was telling her that Dr Oz was ignoring something having to do with the dentist and his teeth. Dr Oz admitted that he grinds his teeth. Char asked if he wore a guard for his grinding and Dr Oz stated no, but that he should.


I actually remember watching that episode of Dr. Oz when it showed. I haven't seen Teresa's episode, so of course there is a possibility that every medium that goes on his show just so happens to connect with his grandpa. But I'm pretty sure you are referring to Char.

PrettyLegit, that's what I was thinking. If she's the real deal, which I do believe is possible. She was in a room of 100s of people. How many dead ppl could actually be there? 100s!!! I'd say that would be a little confusing having 100s upon 100s of ppl, dead or alive, talking to you.

reply

Has anybody compiled a list of all the people who believe in this complete fake, charlatan and liar? That list would be worth millions of dollars.

Anybody on that list has no thinking ability, and will buy anything you say to them. Sell that list to a car company, or a sleazy "real estate" investor, and you'd both make millions. And the people you scammed wouldn't even know anything happened. It's perfect!

reply

She wasn't impressive on Anderson.

reply

So what you're saying is that we all have spirits of our dead relatives hanging around with us all the time? If so, how do the spirits decide which relatives they're going to hang out with and which they aren't? Or can they be everywhere all at the same time?

LOL.

If she truly is a fake why would she risk her entire career on Anderson Cooper?? For everyone to see?

There is no risk. It's why this con is still around in the "information" age. The people who WANT to believe it just do, despite the extensive debunking. And when there is a bad TV performance people will come up with excuses for the con artist (as someone did in this thread), and they will fight people who want to ruin the delusion.

There is only an up side. It's simple exposure. The people that do this con do it every day with the same general risk. They have worked out the routine well enough that they never give it completely away. It's really not that hard.

Just as an example, Uri Geller was thoroughly embarrassed on the Johnny Carson show, back in the day. Now Carson prolly had 30 times the audience of Cooper, and still Geller had a good career after his embarrassment. All it did was expose him to more people who WANT to believe and the criticism just makes them dig their heels in on the belief.

She does Flail doesn't she. I find her funny.

Always be yourself. Unless you can be Batcatt, then always be Batcatt.
