text: is there such a thing as??? a good medium or fortune teller??   i got a reading from a fortune teller on thursday. i paid £35 and she was shite!!!  i never gave anything away and only answered yes or no.  i know loads of people who have seen her (she is known all over britain).she comes to your house and does the readings. a lot of my friend were shocked after having a reading and a few were upset coz she was so accurate about things!!  she said i was really difficult to read but i think it was coz i never gave anything away!!!!  i have told people that the must have gave her leads without realising but they are adamant that they never. how did they all think she was great and i thought she was a waste of money??? it was an expensive lesson but at least you've learnt something.  there is no such thing as a medium or a psychic  the trick can only be done by "hot reading" i.e. having prior knowledge of you, or by "cold reading" i.e. taking guesses, playing the percentages, watching your reactions, and getting you to reveal the answers yourself.  it was an expensive lesson for you, but at least you've learnt how to expose these charlatans and you won't be scammed again.
