Fake Mediums
"One of the most alarming things about the mediumistic racket is how completely some people put their lives into the hands of ill-educated, emotionally unbalanced individuals who claim a hotline to heaven...That people who ask such questions of a medium are risking their mental, moral, and monetary health is a shocking but quite accurate description of the matter."

Re: Fake Mediums
Earlier today i met "a most accurate medium" (self described) at a psychic fete at Turbury Castle.
He did a demonstration there which i wasn't impressed with at all. Nothing jumped out as spectacularly accurate in his readings. He gave out 3 tarot cards like he was about to perform a magic trick with a sort of "Pick a card any card" attitude.
He said to the first gentleman that he thought he was a good looking chap, kept in good shape and so must have the "body care" (or something similar) card. He actualy had "soulmates". He said the next person had the body care card but he had "new love". There was a thrid but to be honest i was tired and losing intrest but it was also wrong.
He comes accross as a likeable guy, but i don't respect a medium who i don't believe actually is a medium. Has anyone else met this guy?

Re: Fake Mediums
Psychic Readings
How to Spot a Fake Psychic
By Cherry Sage
After conducting psychic readings, numerology readings and tarot card readings for over 20 years now, I have gained a definite perspective not only as an advisor but as a client. As a client, I was been able to see exactly how psychics who are not real work their magic. After getting a psychic reading from dozens of so-called psychic advisors, you may find yourself intoxicated by the things that the psychic tells you. If it sounds too good to be true, most likely it is. You have to understand the origins and purpose of psychic networks. Their job is to make lots of money, not to help you. Granted, there are real psychics who are gifted and working on psychic network lines, but I have found that most of the people working as psychic advisors period, are not real at all. I’m sure you have heard by now that many fake psychics use scripts and certain formats in conducting their psychic readings, but for the most part, it’s really simple what they tell you that gets you hooked. For example, if after getting a psychic reading, you find yourself feeling intoxicated almost, then they have done their job superbly. To be told that the one you love, loves you and that you will marry them and be together for the rest of your life is intoxicating. They give you hope that keeps you calling and calling until after you see that you have been lied to, you begin to face reality and the truth sinks in, you now realize that what they said was not true when they said it nor will it ever turn out to be true. You will find yourself hurt and disillusioned beyond the ordinary disillusionment experienced from your own life’s complications. You may even find yourself broke or in debt. It’s unconscionable that people could prey on others’ vulnerabilities and pain in this way. But that is exactly what they do. And in the end, there is only more pain. And the inevitable distrust of psychics. It's this "fake" paradigm, which has its roots in the first elemental phone psychic networks, that dominates the public's perception and legitimate scrutiny is reasonable. But real psychics around the globe are out there and you should make it your business to find a foolproof way of determining who is real and who is not until such time as this paradigm is changed to ensure that your advisor is authentic by virtue of their credentials as it is for any professional practitioner.
Now you may frequent sites where the advisor is given feedback after your call. This is a good thing but, it is not foolproof. I have seen fake psychics who will have almost perfectly glowing feedback that goes on and on for pages. Perfect! You may wonder why this occurs. Simple. After you hear exactly what you want to hear or want to believe verified, well, this is where that intoxication comes in, you tend to reflect your glorious feelings with equally glowing feedback! But when things don't happen the way were told, you never come back. So, others following in your footsteps will call this advisor because "they too want to believe." Another thing to watch out for is fake feedback. This is also a tactic used by fakes to fool you. On sites where feedback is left, an authentic psychic advisor has to have a very high level of integrity in order to be comfortable telling the truth despite the fact of what the client wants to hear. If the psychic does not tell them what they want to hear in a reading, the client may leave very bad comments and a bad rating. It's the price you pay for being real. In my experience when I tell a client something they didn't want to hear, for the most part, they don't leave any comments. The fact is, they will most likely go find another psychic who will reflect their own feelings about the situation. A reading can be truthful AND uplifting without bringing the client down but you have to be ready to hear the truth.
So how do you know who is real and who is not based on feedback! That is not to say that an authentic psychic is not going to have great feedback. They do, but sometimes they will be the ones to receive bad ratings and feedback mixed in with the good. Life is all about taking the good with the bad. Honestly, it’s very hard to tell. The proof is really in the reading and outcomes and developing a relationship with a few trusted advisors who have been able to connect with you and your energy and have proven that their insights and predictions have been accurate for you. But, just remember, if it sounds unbelievably good, it probably is not really true and the psychic is not real and only setting up a line to take your money and setting you up for emotional failure. So be careful of perfect feedback. It’s really not always an accurate gauge of the psychic advisors true abilities; except of course their ability to fleece you out of your dollars. Of course, really consistently bad feedback is a good indication that the advisor is probably just very bad and should think about going into another line of work.
Another point, you need to understand that even if you are speaking with a gifted, authentic psychic, you and that particular psychic may not connect that well. That is different from the psychic being fake. There a many reasons why a particular psychic may not connect with you. They may not be rested and ready to take calls, or you may not be relaxed and ready to receive truthful information or in some other way blocking the flow of what is being channeled thereby skewing the information on either side. Psychic readings are not an exact science. Intuition is relied upon to conduct an accurate psychic reading for a client. The reading goes much better when both the psychic advisor and client are relaxed and ready to receive. I personally find it difficult to connect with a client who wants to hear a certain thing. I have experienced many times my client trying to guide the reading. So see your authentic psychic advisor as someone who wants to help you and be ready to assist in the flow of information.
To spot a fake psychic is not impossible, but if there was a way to quantify the statistic of fakes out there, I would be willing to bet that most (due in large part to large networks hiring script readers) are not real. Unfortunate, but through observation and experience, I feel this to be true.
One of the Oldest Tricks in the Book. First Warning Sign You Have Got A Fake!
One of the oldest tricks in the book and something which continues to surprise me because people are continually taken in is when a psychic tells you someone has put a curse on you or there is a negative block on you which only they can remove for some exorbitant price, HANG UP! Say goodbye, because this person could not care less about you or your problems. Psychic parlors are notorious for this kind of activity. It is not for real, the curse nor the psychic.
Worse Possible Scenario
I have heard many horror stories about unethical psychic readers. The worse kind of psychic I have come across is the one who has real psychic talent but tries to use what they see about a person to manipulate them by causing them to become dependent, telling them that "they" can make a thing happen, when in actuality the thing would happen anyway, and basically, swindling money from ordinary people who may be vulnerable. These people are dangerous. But in every walk of life, there are those who are malignant souls who prey on others and the same applies here. They are out there, so be aware. Rule of thumb: if they ask you for thousands of dollars to "fix" your problem, they are after the money. They can't help you at all.

I have always believed that having a good doctor, a good mechanic and a good psychic are all professionals that are worth taking the time to assess their skill, experience and credentials to see if they are the one for you. There is nothing more satisfying then actually making a positive difference in someone’s life and their continued use of your service over many years. A walking, talking testimonial is very gratifying for this psychic advisor.

Re: Fake Mediums
I also went to Tutbury Castle yesterday.
It is the second time I have been and Mr K was there on both occasions.I have not had a reading from him.
The first time I heard him tell someone that they had an old relative that had a long washing line down the length of her garden with two wooden props,how random is that I thought.
Yesterday I didnt hear anything he said but I looked at his book of comments. I could only see that people were saying in general that he was correct on only a few things. I wouldn't like to comment further as he may be a very nice person but he didn't make me think that I must go to him.
I did have a reading from Roxanne though, for the second time, and can say that she was very good, and what she said was on the whole accurate.The rest I will have to wait and see.

Re: Fake Mediums
For me the concept of identifying a 'fake' medium is an odd one, as it assumes there must be such thing as a 'real' one 
I've worked alongside quite a few (due to circumstance.. not 'with', I hasten to add) and haven't yet met one who did anything to convince me that he or she actually had some form of ability in line with their claims. I appreciate that some people may feel a certain way, or believe that they're receiving information from channels other than the ordinary, but unfortunately feelings and beliefs don't constitute proof and so I remain fiercely skeptical... although I'm still prepared to be convinced if anyone feels they have something to offer!

Re: Fake Mediums
A friend of mine and her sister went to see Mr K and was very disapointed in him.he could not give any proof to anyone and because people were saying no he went and sat down and left the people wondering what had happened.
