He refused for about one second and then did it. It was quite impressive. He used the cutlery on the table so it was no set up. Then he asked you to think of a picture and he'd draw it. I thought of a Christmas tree, which he drew. I was taken aback.<BR/><BR/>Then I had to phone him once and he was at Glastonbury casting a no-rain spell. <BR/><BR/>Nevertheless, I still think he's a charlatan.<BR/><BR/>We had some mediums round to our house for a magazine feature. They arrived independently and said the very same things about who or what was haunting our house (we had odd things going on). So it was convincing. Nothing untoward has happened since. <BR/><BR/>That said, I'm very sceptical about this sort of thing, and think Derek Acorah is complete fantasist. Apparently once he had a gift, but then the lure of filthy lucre got in the way.Jon Peakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04471926651090670258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3480141481321177460.post-22688437703355746422007-05-04T14:06:00.000+01:002007-05-04T14:06:00.000+01:00I saw a programme where Daft spelling of a name Br...I saw a programme where Daft spelling of a name Browne showed how he does his "tricks". It's all suggestion. I don't have any experience of psychics, but I once heard someone who had gone to one say that the things they were told were really incredible. I would really love to know how they do it, but I wouldn't want to go near one of these people. They do scare me a bit.Gwenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15695613095959659034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3480141481321177460.post-50136553696745743062007-05-04T12:20:00.000+01:002007-05-04T12:20:00.000+01:00It all must be bullshit?No-one has ever passed a t...It all must be bullshit?<BR/>No-one has ever passed a test that would demonstrate that psychic powers exist. So there isn't any evidence to support it. I'm sure Sally Morgan is impressive in a show environement. Not nearly as impressive as Deerrren Brewne (correct spelling I believe), Derren makes no claims of supernatural ability.<BR/><BR/>Even when some of these people are exposed as fakes, the general public doesn't take much notice. It seems that people really do want to believe.Valentine Suicidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14158284655510301196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3480141481321177460.post-7362566805917741982007-05-04T10:59:00.000+01:002007-05-04T10:59:00.000+01:00ClairSally Morgan: Star PsychicThat gave me a laug...Clair<BR/><BR/>Sally Morgan: Star Psychic<BR/><BR/>That gave me a laugh and I used to read Bunty.<BR/><BR/>ThanksGwenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15695613095959659034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3480141481321177460.post-40309199162524347322007-05-04T10:37:00.000+01:002007-05-04T10:37:00.000+01:00Being a pillock, I watched Sally Morgan: Star Psyc...Being a pillock, I watched Sally Morgan: Star Psychic (sounds like a story in Bunty) on ITV2 last night, and was impressed with her skills.

It's hard to say that there isn't something in the supernatural but it's always good to take these things with a pinch of salt as well. I too remember Uri Geller but I tend to assume that a lot of these people are faking it in some way - just like a magician performs a magic trick.Gwenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15695613095959659034noreply@blogger.com
