| Have you ever watched a TV show and wondered if | | | | which they were kept. They were not even able to go |
| the psychic and paranormal activity is real, camera | | | | to the bathroom alone! Additionally, several well known |
| tricks or just a hoax for entertainment value only? | | | | and respected members of the British press were |
| Many of us have. While obvious dram's are just that, | | | | around the entire time to ensure and attest to 'fair play' |
| some shows claim to be streaming 'real genuine | | | | and they had access all areas to make double sure no |
| paranormal ability'. How do we know if this is true? | | | | camera tricks or crew were enabling any cheating. |
| Of course I cannot say with any more accuracy than | | | | The psychics were given one appropriate piece on |
| anyone else that all of them are genuine, but having | | | | info or contact in one form or another. The astrologers |
| been invited to be behind the scenes on a few I can | | | | were merely given the 'mystery guests' date of birth, |
| give you some idea of what I have witnessed | | | | the taror readers were placed in a room with the |
| personally. | | | | guest cloaked head to foot in robes with their faces |
| I witnessed some 8 shows being made from behind | | | | covered and able to ask the 'guest' to caut the Tarot |
| the scenes for UK TV. What impressed me about the | | | | cards. The psychics versed in psychometry (the ability |
| show was the length that they went to to ensure no | | | | to hold an object once owned or held by the guest |
| trickery was possible. They decided to test many | | | | and pick up information on a psychic level from the |
| popular psychics (those whom they could persuade to | | | | object, often metal) were simply placed in a room with |
| appear, in a competition like format. Those with claimed | | | | a researcher given a key, watch, or in one case simply |
| psychic abilities were assembled and contended | | | | a shoelace and had 30 minutes to tell the researcher |
| against each other in an attempt to prove they were | | | | and camera exactly what information they could pick |
| genuine and authentic gifted with paranormal gifts such | | | | up about the mystery guest. Then the show was |
| as E.S.P. The TV show gathered a mix of psychics, | | | | made right away and all the info given. |
| astrologers, clairvoyants, aura and tarot readers | | | | Now as you might expect (either because they were |
| together. Who by various methods including | | | | simply not genuine, very good or extremely nervous |
| psychometry, Tarot cards, astrology data, were given | | | | many psychics performed poorly. However a handful |
| one piece of relevant data to enable them to see how | | | | did not. One psychic who used psychometry produced |
| much detail they could provide by paranormal means | | | | fact after fact about the mystery guest that was |

| taken to the very basement of a studio, with no TV, | | | | they swore they had never revealed to another living |
| no newspapers, mobile phones or internet. They were | | | | soul! |
