Come on now,  don't you think you're just throwing your money away when you pay to see a fortune teller?   Aren't they all fakes?

I think a lot, if not most psychics are fake. I do believe that there are people who have "the power," but would never make themselves a fortune teller because it sounds completely wrong to sell your talent.

Gee, join the club!\n\nYou do realize that futures are basically gambling and that there is no such thing as a successful system?  \n\nIf there were, I wouldn't tell you about it for one thing, since that would mean less money for me.\n\nSecondly, if everyone were using the same system, it would throw off the predictions anyway.

Scam... if you don't enter a lottery you can't win that lottery. It's that simple.

There are only two types of "psychics." There are the outright frauds who are out to make a buck and the people who genuinely mistakenly believe that they have extra-sensory abilities.\n\nMy question for everyone who believes in the psychic phenomenon is: Why does James Randi's $1,000,000 prize to be awarded to anyone who can reliably demonstrate psychic abilities go unclaimed? It started at $10,000 thirty years ago. It has grown a hundred fold. Yet no one has stepped forward and demonstrated any sort of ability that meets the criteria. \n\nNot Sylvia Brown, not John Edward, not Uri Gellar, not Joe Schmoe, who sits in his basement and "predicts the future." \n\nIf you're claiming that psychic ability is simply "a feeling," then somerandominternetperson is right, we are all psychic because we all have feelings.\n\nWhat kind of feelings are you describing? What do you "see?" What can you "tell?" What can you "do?"\n\nI will continue to be skeptical (not misinformed) about psychics until someone demonstrates that the phenomenon is something more than parlor tricks. Are you that person?

Mediums and fortune tellers are talented entertainers and observers of human nature.  That is all.

Specifically, it is obvious that one is a scam.  Generally, there is some scam going on in every part of this country.  In the case of Louisianna, the scam is on tax payers, as recent news reports indicate.  But who didn't see that coming?  When the government gets criticised (British spelling, for no good reason), it starts throwing money.  Why not?  At certain times it will admit that the money isn't theirs.

You're very funny. Obviously trying to yank our chains. That's one of the funniest things about Yahoo answers, is how people actually believe all these questions are serious.\n\nSend me half the winnings ($10 Mil) and I'll call you with the lotto numbers. Trust me, this is not a joke.>)

As regards the supernatural, it's near impossible to convince anyone that they are wrong be they cynic or believer.  I'm fairly certain that many Psychics believe they are on the level and there are certainly plenty of genuine con-artists who take advantage of believers.

If you're asking about a spirit visit, I don't believe in such things.  Still, if that IS what you're asking, why not go to a spiritualist (tacky tarot card shopowner) and ask for a seance?

Yea, good luck.  They're fake I think.

This is wrong and shouldn't be performed.  Psychic and palm readers can only inform you of past and current events.  If you know anyone who an predict the future i'll be a monkeys uncle.

It is a tool for examinig your own unconscious. A bit like examining what surfaces in dreams. Useful if you have to make decisions, because you will divine from the cards what you want to; they can tell you what YOU want to do when you can't tell for yourself. \n\nI don't believe in the fortune-telling bit. That's all in the skill of the reader, reading the signals from the sitter and asking the right questions.

I'm not waiting now, but I used to until I just gave up.  It is real, but the chances of winning are like 1 in 10 million or something crazy like that.  The chances are so slim that it does seem like a scam, even though it's not.

Scam, scam, scam.  I got the same thing.  Look up Lotto scams on the net and look up their name.  You'll see.  Sorry, I know it's a bummer.

I can't discount the possibility of there being real live psychics out there somewhere, but I do know that anyone who is trying to sell you their powers, like the amazing Miss Cleo, is a fake, phony charlatan. Be skeptical, Demand proof.

I must say I am offended at most of the answeres I have read to your questions.. I have been helping People for the last 20 year now.. and If you think I am getting rich on alternative medicine.. then I must be doing something wrong my supplies cost me more then I bring in.. I have doctors sending me clients and I can't charge any insurance because I get called a guru because I use energy healing as well.. I was given this gift for healing and how to use alternative medicine and if anyone is paying more then what doctors are getting then you are getting ripped off.. Please I will take some of these people so I can drive a BMW and a Mercedes on the weekend. I can understand why people get riped off by so many people when they have no place to turn to I myself have seen so many ads on alternative Medicine sometimes I want to yell fraud.. Believe me there a more people around the world like me you just have to find the right person by asking other people or even and if you find one make sure you ask all kinds of question make a list and take it with you or If you see something advertised check it out before you jump on the wagon, and one of the great resources for info is right here use often.. What I have found that most of the answers you get from here is very good.. but like I said, stop,,check ,,and question...
