Mediums and psychics

The best one I saw was James Randi before he became known.
He had the successor of Doris Stokes in the studio (Stephen ?) and he set about with the audience thinking Randi was a believer.
After the show Randi asked Stephen how many first names he had said before he got a 'hit' and of course Stephen said '2' but Randi then went through a list of about 20 names.
He continued this for every 'hit' with dozens of suggestions being made by Stephen until he ended up with one woman where he basically talked about her dead husband who had said 'Stop losing your shoes' and then he asked her if it meant something.
OF COURSE IT MEANT SOMETHING, A WOMAN AND SHOES.
Stephen walked out and still carried on to be very successful.

I haven't heard of that one before, but if there is a video, or even an article about it I'd be very interested. Anything with James Randi is worth a read.

Speaking of James Randi, I think Gilly should ask the psychic why she has not gone to him to demonstrate her psychic powers, because if he sees genuine psychic abilities he will give the psychic $1,000,000. If she doesn't want the money suggest that she give it to charity.

Also, remind her that the psychic can alter the experiment for proof of her ability to however she wants it. Only when both James Randi and the psychic is happy will the experiment go ahead.

I definitely vote dirty protest. As long as you about "evil spirits be gone" while you're doing it.

I have no time for anything like this. A lasting stain on the carpet will serve as a reminder to your new wife what happens when she brings a medium into the house.

The Penn & Teller BS is also good.
They also set up a psychic with a genuine audience and it was embarrassing to watch.
One audience member had no idea how the psychic knew he was there for his mother but when P&T played the tape back he had told the psychic before he started.
 
One of my wife's friends believes in all that guff.

She was telling us all at Christmas about how great this medium was she had been to see.

I wouldn't normally be so rude to a guest in polite company but it just kind of came out-
"Yeah love, its all ********".
 
My wife organised one of these to come round a year or so back - my opinion was (and still is) pretty much the same as Gilly's tbh. She came into the house - walks into the living room and asks:

"Where shall I sit?"

Before I put my brain in gear my mouth had already blurted out:

"Thought you'd have ******* known that by now!"

Needless to say it didn't go down well with the wife, or her friends, or the so called psychic. . . . . . . . .

Oh she's not a thief then :D

Just humour the Mrs. Presumably it's just a harmless bit of entertainment and play along. if she's that insistant on seeing a proper one take her to see I think it's Gordon Smith or something like that. At least someone with a track record.

Tell missus you're going to night clairvoyant school to learn the trade from Russell Grant (in a similar vein to when you buy your own hair clippers to save money on hair cuts). Go to the pub once or twice a week for a year instead. Whilst this is happening, 'experiment' on her and, well = profit.
 
Didn't you know every married man needs to be a psychic where their Mrs is concerned.
