Are psychics real or fake

Don’t believe what you want to believe…
Without prior knowledge of a person, a practiced cold reader can still quickly obtain a great deal of information about the subject by analyzing the person’s body language, age, clothing or fashion, hairstyle, gender, sexual orientation, religion, race or ethnicity, level of education, manner of speech, place of origin, etc. Cold readers commonly employ high probability guesses about the subject, quickly picking up on signals from their subjects as to whether their guesses are in the right direction or not, and then emphasizing and reinforcing any chance connections the subjects acknowledge while quickly moving on from missed guesses. You can google someone and learn a lot. They frequently use obituaries to describe the loved one.

You need only look inside yourself for the answers you seek. The show is scripted and edited. The only thing REAL about reality shows are that the people are playing themselves. Cold readings work because the person being read WANTS to make a connection.

“I sense that you are sometimes insecure, especially with people you don’t know very well.”
“You have a box of old unsorted photographs in your house.”
“You had an accident when you were a child involving water.”
“You’re having problems with a friend or relative.”
“Your father passed on due to problems in his chest or abdomen.”
“I see a heart problem with a father-figure in your family, a father, a grandfather, an uncle, a cousin … I’m definitively seeing chest pain here for a father-figure in your family.”
“I see a woman that isn’t a blood relative. Someone around when you were growing up, an aunt, a friend of your mother, a stepmother with blackness in the chest, lung cancer, heart disease, breast cancer…”
“I sense an older male figure in your life, who wants you to know whilst you may have had disagreements in your life, he still loved you.”
If our loved ones are floating around us wishing to tell us stuff and can’t until some crazy lady sees them….it doesn’t seem like much of an afterlife. If you can talk to a spirit through a mass produced plactic ouija board than that doesn’t make much sense either. Considering the marvelous complexity of the universe, its clockwork perfection, its balances of this against that, matter, energy, gravitation, time, dimension – our existence must be more than that. That what we are goes beyond Euclidean or other practical measuring systems, and that our existence is part of a reality beyond what we understand now as reality.
