Quote:But Spit if you are completely thick enough to believe that Darren Brown is a psychic , which i honestly don't, then you deserve to be scammed. Now that you mentioned him, It again makes me weary as he quite readily decieved those students with that live ouija board shindig.
But I still think it is unfair to compare honest mediums to magicians. I actually feel very sorry for mediums like Gordon Smith and a few others who are genuine and have these no-marks ruining their honest reputation.
Darren brown, is one kickass psychic impersonater, he gave readings to a full room before - they were completely sucked in. He also converterd a load of athiests into born again christians using nothing but a few mind tricks.
Just like most other importent human questions, scammers go and abuse it for money reasons, problem with psychics is - they are not tested and not regulated, they have free reign upon peoples grief, it's like a doctor going around a hospital offing terminally ill paitents a miracle pill - taking there cash and leaving them to die,
If a psychic is truely skilled, they will smash through the stero type image, and there skills alone, will not only give them plenty in terms of material possesions - but will also bring alot of happyness to other people. Those willing to be tested, are those you should put your faith in - they are worth putting your faith in - because at least they belive in themselves. Any psychic who wont meet the challenge is classified as a fraud, until a time when they get some courage/give up there con tricks.
