Finding a Real Psychic

So how do you determine whether a psychic is genuine or not? Here are a few tips to help you but it is hard to assess whether a psychic's claims are real.

Be wary of:

Unrealistic claims such as being able to give you winning numbers in Lottery, or find your soul mate;

Expensive phone lines where the person on the phone will try and carry on the phone call as long as possible as the call is charged per minute;

Cold reading. A technique which involves manipulating the subject to make them think they are being provided with great insights, for instance making suggestions and seeing how the subject responds. This technique is often helped by the subject's willingness to believe in the psychic's paranormal powers;

People who tell you are cursed or going to die; real psychics should not tell you this sort of information.

A real psychic should be happy for you to ask some questions before you commit to paying for a sitting or a reading. They should also allow you record the session; this is common practice as it allows you to refer back to it in the future and you can forget details from the reading quite quickly.

Be clear about what you expect from the psychic - he or she may have genuine psychic powers but may not address issues you wanted to address. Different psychics have different specializations - for instance psychic healing is very different from mediumship and so on.

Genuine psychics may have undergone some form of training or be attached to some recognized organization such as the College of Psychic Studies in London. Or if they frequently appear at meetings held by Spiritualist churches, that can be a good indication, as the organization would usually check out a psychic carefully before booking them. However some psychics do just practise from home and don't have any qualifications so you have to rely on your judgement. Word of mouth can be another good way of finding a good psychic.
