They're called mediums because they're neither rare nor well done.
Lolol
Good one
Brilliant!
ROFLMFAO
Nice.
They aren't mediums they're extra large

At first I thought this said "Adam Ruins Physics"
I thought, "damn, it'll take a lot to convince me this time" XD
Gravity never really happened
@@jakemills7829 it was a fraud created by the Goverment, Gravity was a paid actor
Bill Nye and Neil Degrasse Tyson would make the world burn.
I thought it said that too lol
Same.
my mum still believes in psychics even after one told her she saw pregnancy in my future... i’m infertile... and gay
Wait if your gay then how did you find out your infertile
Rattan Dragon i have a condition that causes infertility
@@gremlinlad3671 oh that make sense
She might believe because she hopes it's true? That's actually how a LOT of psychics work, they tell the person what they want to hear to give them the courage to do the things they were already planning on doing. "I see you opening your own business!"-after prodding the person to find out they were kicking the idea around for a while, then changing conversation for a few minutes so they forget they ever told them. Just like all the ones who tell parents of long-missing children that their child is still alive, when in all reality they likely aren't, but the parent wants to hear it so they will keep going back and paying money for 'confirmation' of their child being alive to make them feel better. If a psychic only predicted bad things, they wouldn't get much business (unless they ended up being very specific and accurate, though even if they tell you what will happen if you can't change it-then what's the point? And if you can change it, then it won't have happened so they weren't right after all)
What if you become a surrogate mother?
pretty good child actor
Haha I noticed that too! Good job kid.
pretty forced child labor
He was in Grey's anatomy as a Syrian kid with tumors on his hands

His accent's awful.
Magicians fooling mediums by becoming spies
This is truly something
Now u see me plot😌
Harry Houdini did it
That would make a great plot for a movie.
That's what Osho used to do.
I bet they didn’t see that coming lol

I wanna go to a Psychic and tell em I lost someone recently named Daniel and when they say "yes, that's who im feeling" I'll teel em "Finally, I know I was dead inside"
CRAWLING IN MY SKIN THESE WOUNDS THEY WILL NOT HEALLLLL
Personally, I believe in mediums. I went to one and she told me I was going to die. That was about 6 years ago, but I totally still believe her. I am going to die. It runs in my family. My great grandfather and my grandfather both died. There is NO WAY she could have known that.
Same, its uncanny. The same thing runs in my family. I'm 20, and it seems like I have 40+ years left.
I am truly sympathetic for anyone who has to deal with death, you know death is a serious problem that affects millions of families world wide.
And there it is. I was wondering when someone wouldn't get that it was a joke and explain it.
Joe Shopper
I just hope she has some kind of condition she use as an excuse.. my god..
What are the chances she did research on your family tree before "reading" you
I thought it said Physics and i got worried.
Adam tryna tell us that we could break law of physics
I think at some point he could do a bit on theoretical physics. Why would you be worried?
I also think that by looking the title
Yeah, they could definitely cover physics on this show. Much of what we learn about it refutes previously held beliefs. Even Einstein was wrong occasionally. I'd watch that episode.
Haven't most attempts to prove Einstein wrong ended up with proving him right instead?
The dead must be a bunch of trolls. Imagine visiting ur grieving relatives and be like “I’m not saying my name, tell them my initial is ‘J’, they’ll figure it out”
(Come to think of it, NONE of my dead relatives - that I ever met - had a "J" in their names.)
My psychic said I was going to breathe, she was right and I'm happy I paid her to tell me this
Lol
My psychic said I needed to eat and drink or else I'd die! I only had to pay her 60$ for this info!
If they were wrong, are your last words-with the little air you had left in your lungs-"i want my money back"?
Psychic: your... grand father he's trying to talk to you... he's asian, he has black hair and black-brown eyes... is that him?
Me (an asian): wow how did you know? That's amazing.
“I never had any fathers”
@Cody Wang YOU TELL HIM!
Bro, before I like it's at 1k but when I like, it moves up to 1.1k broooooo
But he has white hair, I want my money back!
@Patrick Chang there's also a possibility of me returning home and then suddenly there's a nrief case with 1 million dollars on my couch but only an idiot would get their hopes up for that possibility.
So if a psychic dwarf was running from the law, would that make him a small medium at large?

Fun fact: Harry Houdini spent a good portion of his later life debunking mediums, psychics, etc. And, if I remember correctly, he told people he was close with there would be a "password" for them to know he was actually being contacted from beyond the grave after he died.
Yes. Bess, his widow, tried for many years to contact him but never got it. She basically disclosed what the password was on her death bed.
@@littlesongbird1 ooh do you know what it was?
@@ihopeicanchangethisnamelat7108 from Genii Magazine
“At that sitting, Fletcher relayed the secret code from Houdini. The message was said to be based on both sentimentality and an old vaudeville mindreading routine. The message was, ‘Rosabelle- answer- tell- pray, answer- look- tell- answer, answer- tell".
Bess' wedding band bore the inscription "Rosabelle", the name of the song she sang in her act when they first met. The other words correspond to a secret spelling code used to pass information between a magician and his assistant during a mentalism act. Each word or word pair equals a letter.
The word "answer" stood for the letter "B", for example. "Answer, answer" stood for the letter "V". Thus, the secret phrase spelled out the word "BELIEVE".
I remember that he and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle ended their friendship after Houdini exposed Doyle's wife as a fraud. She was one of those mediums.
My dad once got a free palm-reading session. The psychic did a cold reading and asked him for details. All my dad said was: "Why do I have to tell you? Isn't your job to get that information from my palm?"
And then the psychic was suddenly unable to read palms for his session.
My dad wasn't fooled, but his coworker left moved and was crying after the session. It's really sad to see people fooled out of their money like this.
Once got a free session myself, i accepted just for fun and games. She asked me dumb questions, fishing for information and she could not be more wrong in everything. I was, 20 years old or something, asking questions about, school, problems home, love life, etc etc, you know, what everyone normally has all sorts of problems with my age back then. I was doing fine in school, acing it actually, so nothing wrong there, no problems home and i couldn't care less for a love life at the time. I was the key essential worst nightmare for her to get, also i was not open to that shit whatsoever. She just stopped knowing i was not fooled but still kept up here charade. My mom was into it, i asked her, you can't be serious about this bullshit. Why not she asked, i explained it all to her and that she was just a glorified fake shrink asking buckloads of money which could be spend elsewhere, like an actual shrink.
Well, if they were moved and crying, wouldn't that have been worth it despite its fakeness?
You have to realise, plenty of people spend tens of thousand of dollars on this simply cause they can't move on, and these "psychics" will make sure they won't move on so they get more money. No it's not worth it, it is disgusting.
1, they still fish for information
2, they give you standard information which applies to everyone
Don't get fooled by them, there are no people in the world with "special" abilities.
+Janelle McRae
No, actually. I didn't realize that. Care to list any examples?
I'm surprised they didn't mention anything about hot reading. Hot reading is when you do previous research on the soon-to-be-victims and make it seem like you're obtaining info through ghosts (or whatever). Hot reading is especially common in tv shows, where the psychic has plenty of time to research.
Michael Song this was in a ouija movie
Sounds like girls now a day's before a date
John Edwards does this method a lot when he does his "private readings". His show's producers will actually ask the victims who they want to contact and basically what they want to hear, and of course he will "hear" from that dead relative and tell them exactly the same information that they previously told his producers. These people are so grief-stricken and desperate to not fully accept their loved one's death, that they will believe a medium actually spoke to their dead relative, no matter how obvious it may seem to outsiders that the medium is conning them. It is just disgusting, and I don't understand how these mediums sleep at night. I honestly believe that all mediums must be either narcissistic or psychopathic, because no one with any normal shred of empathy would be able to manipulate depressed and grieving people the way they do.
Well it's a 25 minute long show and they covered a bunch of different topics in this episode not just mediums
Doesn’t that violate privacy laws?
Gotta admit, writing with your feet has to take some serious talent
The most ridiculous thing about this is that Adam Ruins Everything had to create an entire segment with evidence and historical precedent to prove that THE MAGICAL ABILITY TO SPEAK TO DEAD PEOPLE doesn’t exist.
I mean, some people believe that the earth is flat so....
@@marcogentile3392 this world is truly amazing isnt it
@@vvlixi274 yeah, what a wonderful world
Christians think they can speak to the dead.
Its waay easier to make bullshit up than to disprove it. Works like entropy, kinda.
"There's a sucker born every minute."
Nero Wolfe Big Nate?
Nero Wolfe Poor Nate’s Almanac
Good quote by the late, great P.T. Barnum!
really?
Except there's no evidence he ever said it.
How to prove a fake psychic:
Ask of they can see the future.
If they say yes
Punch them in the face and ask why they didn't see that
I have a different method: I don't tell them my name. They're the psychic, they're supposed to know.
Clearly you don't know what a psychic is.
Cold reading. They might be able to see tells in your face/body language and know that you're about to hit them. So, they might actually be able to see that.
Brilliant.
It doesn't work that way.
When the psychic makes contact with Uncle Vinny in the afterlife, ask her to ask Vinny for the combination to that safe at his house. Suddenly Vinny ain’t talkin’...
Shouldn’t have to tell grown folks this
One of my friends was heartbroken after a guy just disappeared, early into their relationship. She went to a psychic, and asked me to come with her for comfort. Psychic read your fortune in a coffee cup. Unemployed woman. Anyway, she tells my friend that the guy will come back, he's not cheating on her, he has a family problem. One year later - she finds out he had left her for another girl, no family problem.
The psychic begged me to let her read my fortune as well. I did for fun. Here's how she did the cold reading.
Psychic: "The phone call you have just received was from a close friend."
Me: "No"
Psychic: "your boyfriend then?"
Me: "No."
Psychic: "A family member?"
Me: "Yes."
Psychic: "The family member called you about some money problems."
Me: "No."
Psychic: "Health issues?"
Me: (already giggling): "Yes".
Psychic: "You are in love with a man whose name starts with the letter: M (no), P (no), N (no), A?"
She got the 4th one right, and she was already sweating by then. It was hilarious! My friend trusted her - that was not funny.
Well its a family problem if the boyfriend iniciated a family with this other women, I also use to say "if you want a positive feedback contract an astrologer".
hey it works better for me
Psychic: "The person you are thinking about is a close friend."
Me: "No"
Psychic: "your boyfriend then?"
Me: "yes."
Psychic: "You are in love with a man whose name starts with the letter: M (yes),
may this means he will come back to meee
lol
Your friend was probably pretty heartbroken. Those are the kinds that Psychics want to have for customers because they’re easy to fool
A median an an Alzheimer’s victim are best friends. “He was a close friend.” “If you say so.”
Laura Kuhlmann your friend is not that smart
i'm a bit of psychic myself, i can tell you the scores of every sporting event before they start, the scores will be 0-0.
I can like sense people's emotions. my friends cannot lie to me when they're upset even if they try to hide it I always know that there's something wrong and I can usually guess what it is
Lindsay E that’s just human empathy, I think it has to do with subconscious pheromones or just subconsciously judging there emotions, nothing supernatural
@@invertacreator5865 h e l p m e i c a n t f e e l e m p a t h y
Kalven Baker I mean, it is special. Being that in tune with peoples emotions. May it be a heightened subconscious awareness of facial expressions, or an intuition that hasn’t been explained quite yet, I think it’s still a gift.
Not that it’s supernatural, but a gift that should be appreciated. This person should go into social work or hospitality, something.
Raye's a Fan you’re right? They should be a psychic themselves just for that special trait as well
That woman who acted as the psychic was absolutely hilarious, loved her expressions
Kinda cute too 😍😘
Boom shut up I'm done
Cold readings are fun, and apparently I have a nack for it. One time I did a cold reading with a friend to convince him that psychics are fakes, but it backfired and he ended up thinking that I was a psychic. Whoops! However, I can imagine a valid use for cold-reading skills, just enough for a counselor to get a client to open up.
Some people who use psychic and tarot reading businesses do that. Basically offer low-level counseling knowing that's what it is, basic counseling and not magical powers, and are careful to use prompts to guide the person to think of a better answer. Kind of ends up being a bit of harm reduction, where some people who believe in psychics and thus won't go to real counselors will end up getting some form of real counseling if they happen to see one of these more responsible tarot readers or other such practitioners. Which should look a little bit like what someone gets if they go to a "wise woman" for advice. Reality-based stuff with a little spirituality sprinkled over the top. Where the person is prompted to use their own reasoning skills to figure out the answer anyway. You know, the way a lot of "wise" figures do in stories.
This happens a lot in my community and seems to help many people. My parents would rather take me to such a person than a psychologist, so do many people here. In a way it helps, but I am also cautious, because some of them charge a lot.
This whole thing was directed to the Long Island medium. Literally the whole thing.... “the higher the hair the closer to heaven” the hair, the accent, the book. All of it.
Angelina Carlson I’m fringe Long Island, it’s not Just mediums, a good amount of women out here have that style hair, attitude, accent

i love the concept that Adam Conover is an unwanted presence that haunts people , following them around, appearing suddenly and then Ruining Everythung, by educating them on things they would rather stay blissfully ignorant about
When ever I see a medium on a tv show and they're working an audience saying, has anyone lost a male in their family a father, or brother? A Jim, a John, a Joe, something with a J. Ok, if you are in contact with a dead loved one and this is their chance to finally connect with their live loved ones why is the spirit not a bit more clear with its name and who their relative is in the audience? I mean you've gone to all the trouble and presumably distance to connect with your relative, this is possibly your only chance and your gonna start playing guess my name and guess who I'm here to speak with? My name starts with a J, or maybe a G, WTF? How come they can't say I'm hear to speak to my wife, son whatever whose name is John Smith wearing the red sweater in the 3rd row, I bought him that sweater for his birthday 2 years ago on April 10. Then I might be more inclined to believe they are actually in touch . But apparently once you cross over your inclined to be vague and cryptic. Yeah sure.
So true. When calling people on the phone you don’t give hints about yourself, you say hey it’s Jimmy is my son xyz there. That’s what id do as a ghost too
basically psychics explain this as the connection being bad, so to speak. the ghost is trying to communicate, but its not quite all coming through clearly.
@@avengersteve Yeah, and the "my name starts with J" comes trhought clearly, because they formulate the phrases to make it a guess game, or only the first letter comes by, even if only the first letter came by technically all letters are fucking first letters when you're not writing, g o o d b y e .
I read the title as “Adam ruins Physics” hmmmmm
Alex, Just Alex same
I DIDNT NOTICE UNTIL YOU NOTICED IT
I did too. Needless to say I was very confused when the video started
I checked this video just because I too read it as physics. Wondered how can he ruin physics. lol

SYFICO • the camera was turned off so the people at home wouldn’t be able to watch.
Many years ago, a co-worker of mine was devastated when her ex-boyfriend committed suicide. Lorie believes in psychics and she eagerly signed up for a reading and wanted me to go in with her so I did. Right away she tells the psychic that she wanted to contact someone who had passed quite suddenly. Naturally the psychic ran with this and within a few minutes, had Lorie convinced that her ex-boyfriend "did not like where he was" but if she prayed for him, he could be released.
She then asked me if I wanted a reading so I said "sure". I told her I wanted to know if my deceased husband was well. She assured me he was and had a message from him that he loves me and wants me to be happy. I smiled and said: "That's interesting since I've never been married!!" 😆😅🤣😂 Her facial features immediately changed and she was furious that I had caught her out. I said "if you were a real psychic, you would have known this."
before i got to the end of your session, i knew the psychic was going to be proven a fra...um, proven to maybe _not_ have "The Gift".
You're a legend.
Thank god for her that it was just her ex
I love this. Went to psychic night once as some experience or reference when I was studying at University. The medium did this TO THE LETTER. I couldn't believe how people were lapping it up, it seems so obvious. She would shout out "I'm getting an A!" In a room full of about 80 people. Obviously someone would bite. But I guess we do anything and believe anything over grief 🤷
I was privileged to get to see James Randi when he lectured on this and demonstrated cold readings (among other things) at my college in '85.
'The higher the hair the closer to heaven' that's my new motto.

Just because you're atheist doesn't mean you can't make religious jokes and all that. Simply put, just because you're athiest doesn't mean you have to be lame.
blinkafrootable ok. I just don't really wanna offend others or imply things that aren't true. Thanks.
"Fake psychics" kinda sounds like "wet water" tbh
The Great Mighty Samurott Water isn't wet itself. It's molecules can attach to solid matter which in turn causes something to be wet. Also psychics exist, just not in the way you might envision like telekenesis or levitation.
Physic exist!
The Great Mighty Samurott I really like that comment. I like how your brain works. Thanks.
We associate the word wet with water, so your use of science to explain an obvious metaphor is not very scientific.
Not really, not all of them are fake... just the ones who make money from it. The reality is, if psychics do exist they likely don't have any control over it. In other words they can't contact specific spirits they might be able to see spirits that just happen to be in the immediate area but to actually contact a ghost like calling someone on the phone is just insane. Plus knowing the future could potentially change the future and if the future changes then whatever you predicted would become wrong. Basically I think real psychic power would be totally useless.

She said she saw dark furniture in my home and that I had lots if Roses in my garden.
I have never ever planted roses.
She said she saw lots of Dresses in my closet.
I had not worn a dress in about 25 years, No dresses in my closet..
She said I had one of those swing sets where you can sit and a canopy covers to keep the sun out.
I know a lot of old people have those in their yards but not me.
Everything she said related to old people but what she did not realize Is that I was not your typical older person
They should all be arrested are so fake and should be thrown in jail for taking money illegally from people who are hurting after losing someone they loved.
that people even still believe those people is shocking to me...
halsti99 My mother does.
As long as people still pray to gods, I will not be surprised that people believe psychics.

About 20 years ago, there were all these commercials for a "psychic" named "Miss Cleo", she was a black woman that spoke just like Sebastian in The Little Mermaid, in other words with a comically severe Jamaican accent. And I remember hearing that she got into a lot of legal problems because one of her marketing techniques was to call people and solicit them for using her "services". And then they reported these calls for violating the do not call mandate as they were on the do not call list. And she had to pay hundreds of dollars for each of these calls. And the news talking heads were joking that "she should have seen that coming".
I remember Miss Cleo ... and the blurb at the bottom of the screen: "For entertainment purposes only."
Now i want to go to a psychic/medium and just lie. I'd ask them to talk to my "dead" mom and I'd just play along with everything and at the end just casually call my mom and ask her how she's doing
That's exactly what I did: told them a lie and after their "reading", told them that I had lied and if they really COULD talk to the dead, she should have known I was lying. 😁

In one of my friendship groups, I’m the only one who doesn’t believe in psychics. My friends are always trying to change my mind, they want to take me to a psychic. I’ll probably end up making a big speech about how they’re wrong. For this reason I both want to and don’t want to go.

South Park also covered this very well with the Season 6 episode "The Biggest Douche in the Universe".
Talix yep almost word for word
In James Randi covered it in the 60s and the Simpsons did it in the early 90s. Sorry to break it to you but Southpark has never had an original idea they just recycle old ideas in great ways.
Alex Gregg he never said that. All he said was they also covered it very well.
Alex Gregg There was also a south park episode called " simpsons already did it " where they sad that simpsons had already done everything and they don´t care. Sorry to break it to you.
Felix Björklund Saw that episode which makes the countless South Park did it first comments tiring and ironic.
This made me want to scam a medium
At first I read "Adam ruins *physics*" and I was like "I knew that einstein guy was full of shit"
I read it as physic and not psychic and got really confused
poor baby
So did I xD

She was totally based on Long island medium lol
She is the worst, an ugly scammer hack.
Who is that?
My mom is a firm believer in the Long Island Medium. Even though it's a 99.9999999999 etc% probability of being fake
I actually know someone who was on that show as a "guest" (She came to her home and "read" her and her family). They way it happened was that my friend worked in an office that the psychic lady happened to be in. The lady "sensed" something about the friend and came over and asked some questions and said some "things" and then asked her to be on the show. Friend said yes, and then when they filmed it at her house, they pretended they knew nothing about my friend and acted like it was the first time they met and even asked questions and made predictions based on the prior conversation they had in the office. My friend went along with it, because they told her it makes the show better if the audience sees it all happens at once from beginning to end.
Ya, I can't sense much capacity for psychic readings from her. Maybe a little bit of being able to read people's body language.
I met a psychic once.....
she said I would be scammed $1000 and ran away
Well did it happen?
Yeah take a wild guess if I'm being sarcastic
I was going to a phycic once but she died, she never saw the bus coming.
Jk I would never go to a phycic
At least she got something right!
I don't believe it connects to spirits, but this is exactly why I love tarot cards! They force you to sort of cold-read yourself or others so that you own interpretation fills in the blanks and gives you the answers you sort offff knew you wanted/needed and wouldn't admit.
What a wonderful way to use tarot. Not as a magical element, but as a theraputic element. My fiancee uses them the same way. She knows they don't really do anything, but she just uses them to kinda help her think things through
@@MadMagicianGaming That' so cool!
When thanos snapped
Half the universe: 5:35
I immediately thought of Long Island Medium when I read the title.
It's pretty clear that it's based on her 😂😂
Theressa Caputto?
@@Mar-ff8ej Exactly. A famous scammer even here in Europe.
I also thought about the celebrity medium lol
I thought it said physics...
*Adam Ruins Physics*
To be fair, that would've been "Adam Ruins _Fake_ Physics", and with the recent upsuge of people who claim that the Earth is flat and that gravity and/or evolution is "just a theory", such an episode might be justified soon.
Bah, physics is a total lie. Don't fall for it. People these days are so duped that they fall instead of hover in the air.
That's what happens when our youth is allowed to be brainwashed by cartoons of a coyote falling after going off a cliff. And while on the subject, deserts are also a myth propagated by cartoons.
There are people faar more talented in that field than Adam to debunk common misconceptions about Physics.I think, even with legit sources to cite from, only a person with decent understanding and qualifications in physics should do that kind of a sketch.
dude so did I
👽
How is someone classified as a "Fake Psychic" when they're all fakes?
My friends aunt was obsessed with psychics , was blowing almost all her money on them. So i agreed to do a cold reading, then explain the steps to undo the illusion...she was pretty far down the rabbit hole, for almost an hour she kept telling me i must be psychic 😑
I misread the title as "Adam Ruins Physics." I almost had an existential crisis on that one.
Serious shade to the long island medium
Hannah Lee No kidding! I was thinking that, too.
Correction: The knocking noise wasn’t an Apple, but in fact was from their ability to repeatedly pop their ankles, wrists and other joints. I can do it too and it’s my favorite party trick.
Superb acting, props to the props dept, excellent directing and scripting, amazing filming; this was top notch!
I thought it said 'Adam Ruins Physics' lmao
Me too
Same
Adam opens an interdimensiomal rift in reality and destroys the Milky Way Galaxy
I wanted him to ruin Maths.
Lol saame
I thought it said "Adam Ruins Physics" and I was very interested.
Gravity never existed and was just invented by the government to stop us from following our dreams.
The most effective way to ruin physics is to study it

I'm not sure one would have to mention "fake psychic" - saying "psychic" explains it all. xd
I used to run an outdoor market and we had a psychic as a tenant. The first time we had one of her customers complain that here fortune did not come true we made her place a "For Entertainment Purpose Only" sign.
Finally another Adam episode I needed more of these
hmm yes interesting hmm yes interesting
GO AWAY
"You are actually wrong" -Adam
You comment on practically every video I watch!
hmm yes interesting I saw you comment on the recent PewDiePie video
Adam saying “eh” with the milk is my FAVORTIE NOISE
Favortie
1:42 oh my god...her dress is more accurate than the entirety of 2019 Little Women
When they introduce him, you cam see him flouting the expiration date on his milk. Classic Adam.
Hah! Victim of physics! Like I ever fell for- *slips on banana peel*
DAMN YOU PHYSICS
Da Dragon Durp this isn't about physics?
...
a guy it's a pun off the title. Physics instead of psychics.
David Blass Thanks for explaining. Not being sarcastic
You are every where
I went with a friend to see the Long Island Medium at a casino theater once. Of course it's b.s., but it's also really sad. Hordes of people are drawn to "mediums" because they have so much grief that they're unable to deal with. They're trying to make sense of a loved one's death, so they're willing to believe anything.
osully67 I could make a comment about religion and start a flame war
Yup. I've seen people who have latched onto mediums first hand, and it is disgusting how these people prey on the horrific tragedies of innocent victims.
osully67 I believe there has to be some real mediums out there except the one woman there making fun of in this video I think she’s fake
*+Shirley williams* What do you base the belief that there has to be some real mudiums out there upon? Ask yourself if it is reasonable to believe that, or if it's just wishful thinking on your part.
Watch the Penn & Teller "Bullshit" episode about psychics sometime. They pull no punches. Penn goes off his gourd calling them horrible leeches that prey on the weakest and most vulnerable people. Rightly so. In a just world these people would be jailed for what they do.
Years ago (early 70s) we were sitting in a local bar having a few beers. One of the guys who was kind of the local town eccentric (totally good guy tho) told my sister he could read palms. We all razzed him a little and then he read my sister's palm. He told her she would have 2 kids born on the same day. She had one son at the time. A couple of years later her 2nd son was born on her first sons BDay. We had all forgotten it until my sister brought it up. I swear, true story. Lucky guess I'm sure but.....
My name is pretty hard to guess, (Alizéica) so I like to use it to put psychics to the test. My cousin has a necklace with an H on it, so I wear it whenever I go to readings (it's not a routine thing, I just go to random ones with my friends every once in a while I've gone about 7 or 8 times). I always make sure It's easy for the psychic to see, and every single time except once, have they ask if my name has something to do with the letter H. There's not an H in any of my first/middle/last-last names... That one occurrence where the psychic didn't say H, was when she interrupted my question to ask for money. And then I left because the sign said readings were free.
I thought the title was "Physics"
flexxarnnn i read it that way too wtf?
flexxarnnn so did i the first time. Good thing real physist wants people to try and prove them wrong. If he is proven wrong his vision will change. If it fails to, its good for the ego of the physist
I though it was side chicks, like you had another girl
Who are the victims of physics and how are they being fooled.
Wtf I read it that way too I only realized 10 seconds into the video
To think that there are adult people out there who couldn't already logically deduce this
4 bil of 8bil !
More like 6 out 8
grief is very powerful emotion. If I could talk to people that I miss....
I think some people genuinely believe they can speak to the dead, these ones often don't charge so iys just "harmless" fun but never buy into it, especially the ones that say they help the police
“The higher the hair, the closer to heaven.”
Those nails are scary.
RebelBeamMaster X84 lobster claw nails are scary
its to make fun of the long island medium.
Vanella Icecream
What did You Say * Pokes * Punk
( Not a Hate comment .. its a Joke )
Psychic: There are angry sprits among us...
*Cuboards opening and shutting*
Me: Not scary
*Sees dem nails*
Me: Squeak
She’s based off the Long Island medium Theresa
Nostradamus predicted this video.
dude my brain started singing Nostradamus performed by Hans Teeuwen when i read your comment
Nostradamus predicted Millenials
Nostradamus honestly didn't predict shit it's so full of symbolism and vagueness it could apply to almost every era in history
So basically, he predicted EVERYTHING....I mean, that's what your own logic concludes lol.
Riptide Gaming no that's what your shitty reading comprehension concludes if I predict "a golden eagle Will crash into the great mountains and forever change the world" for instance that could be interpreted as like thousands of events
“Just kidding. It’s an editing trick.”
LMAO
The only lecture I'd like to listen to.
I want to go to one and every question I'll say "you tell me"
Vicky Machin please do and tell us the results
they kick you out eventually
My mom is a psychic and someone did this to her.
My mom: there is a man in the room. Brown hair blue eyes....on your mothers side. Looks to be about 60 to 65....does that sound right?
Lady: you tell me.
The hosts nails are longer than this sentence
no dude you gotta zoom in and make sure you're using a 15" or larger monitor
. By that I mean you forgot the period
I read psychics as physics and was sooo confused till my brain finally put it in place.
I had a tearing by a medium.
What a fake.
I am in y 70 s .
SHE FIRST SAID I see a lot of Roses in your garden.
I told her I never ever planted roses, not ever. What card the chances OLDER people have roses in their gardens..
A very good chance.
THEN SHE SAID. I see dark furniture in your home.
Unlike most elderly people my home is completely white and neutral colors. I told her that.
THEN SHE SAID I SEE LOTS OF BEAUTIFUL DRESSES IN MY
CLOSET.. I have not worn a dress in over twenty years. I do not own a dress.
SHEVTHRN SSID , I see your husband have you roses.
WHST are the chances a husband would give roses to his wife . A,pretty good chance.
THEN SHE SAID .
your husband wants you to stop crying. He sees you crying all the time.
WHAT ARE THE CHANCES A WIDOW IS CRYING FOR HER HUSBAND WHO HAD DIED..
ALL OF THE THINGS SHE TOLD ME WERE GUESSES ON HER PART.
SHE SAID I SEE A CAR . She said do you drive a car?
I asked her what kind of a car she is seeing.
She could not tell me.
Yes I drive a car but so do a lot of seniors.
I WILL NEVRR EVER SEE A MEDIUM AGSI .
SOGAKE.
THEY TAKE ADVANTAGE OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE LOST A SPOUSE AND ARE STILL GRIEVING .
SUCH A CRUEL AND COLD THING TO DO.
