Psychics are a poor joke.

They make wild claims about being able to talk to the dead and pretend to pass messages from dead people to live ones. Often, they appear to be close to the mark with the messages. There are several tricks to what they do, follow the links to discover how they perpetrate their frauds:

Everyone's favourite psychic, Deb Webber was the subject of an investigation by Australia's TodayTonight team.

Darling Deb - a formerly unemployable bum from QLD until she realised that some women are even dumber than she is herself - ensured that all youtube's copies of the video were removed.

The bad news for Deb is that the clip appeared on TV's Eating Media Lunch. *Here is the episode complete with the damning video. Deb Webber is a cheap , laughable fraud, that's all. At least she'd be laughable if she weren't pissing on graves,

Kelvin Cruickshank.

Kelvin is even able to go one step further than Deb. As a bloke [?] he's got an unquestionable charm to many women with a well-cultivated boyish grin and nicely rumpled hair. The chicks go mad on Kelvin! He claims that every person is surrounded by 10-12 spirits of dead people and will gladly tell you what those spirits are thinking. Aside from being remarkably stupid, it's amazing how remarkably similar this is to Deb Webber's belief.

Deb has removed all videos of her fraud but copies are available through the Australian tv company

 

 

Why has no psychic ever accepted a paranormal challenge? There are several challenges involving million-dollar payouts which psychics never attempt:

The James Randi Educational Foundation Challenge

Just think - instead of waiting for 250,626 minutes of $3-99 phone calls, those psychics could earn it all in five minutes. Cruickshank, Webber, all of them - slime around doing readings at $200 a throw. Why wouldn't you earn millions for that same 20 20-minute "reading"?

But they never, ever, ever do.

Psychics appearing in Sensing Murder have all been individually challenged by e mail to come and attempt the Immortality Challenge.

None have accepted.
