Re: I can do telepathy EASY! - NSA
Posted: 14 Jan 2011, 01:57DAMN! I am a professional psychic and I can't follow this dude 
I go away for a few days and someone jumps in whining about being abused, having his chain yanked and then presents a "Test" that reads like a poorly thought out statistic's demonstration a.k.a. Psychological Force techniques (thank you Banachek)
Ok... think of a number between 1 and 5. . .
Amateur Night at the Magic Castle
Ok G. Adam I'm NOT one of the ardent skeptics form around here, I really do work as a professional psychic and teacher of metaphysics, but I am likewise a veteran entertainer that specializes in the field of Magic/Mentalism. . .and I should add, I'm one of the better qualified "know-it-alls" of the trade (after 40 years, I should be.) In other words, I know both sides of the proverbial fence when it comes to this stuff and the only thing I keep seeing in your "test" is a way to manipulate statistics. With that in mind I'll propose a test that gets us over that possibility, after all you do want to demonstrate your abilities in a manner that cannot be easily disputed, right?
Oh... I should point out too that those silly Psychic Tests on line, are far from accurate and typically designed to sucker you in to buy something; classes, a Reading, crystals... something! So don't be a sucker for them, accept them for the novelty and amusement they were designed to be. I test psychics with great frequency and so that you can understand that I am fair with this I'll point out that in one situation I was in several years back I was able to investigate & test 100(ish) registered Psychics/Readers in Clark county Nevada and out of that group less than half a dozen even hinted at having anything resembling honest intuition. This is a very common ratio when it comes to similar size groups, if not a hint high. My experience telling me that fewer than 3% of those that THINK they are a "Psychic" of any sort, actually possess anything that comes close to actual "evidence" -- validation to the claim (and I have some very liberal guidelines).
So then, if you really want to take the first step toward "proving" your abilities I need to first understand what ability you are claiming and why you think that so. Let me explain; many people confuse Telepathy & Clairvoyance, the latter being the ability to "see" things such as the amount of change someone has in their pocket, where a missing person might be, etc. They see things that are "hidden" or obscured. The Telepathist however, picks up on "thought" and I emphasize that point in that we do not get a specific word most of the time but the gist of the thought. This is why a true "Intuitionist" (a.k.a. Telepathist) tends to describe what they are picking up on based on feelings, smells, colors, texture, etc. or, when it is a word or number, they offer a "range"
DAMN! I just told you how to fake things 
. . . guess we'll have skip on the telepathy challenge but you could still kind-of-sort-of do it through a Reading; check in on the old Akashic record and reveal elements about my childhood -- where I lived when I was 3-4 years old -- early memories -- names of pets (can't go with relatives in that they are too easy to look up on line). This is a very simple challenge that cannot be explained away via statistics, psychological reading techniques, etc. Nor can you obtain this information via an on-line search or calling anyone that knew me back then. . .no records, sorry.
I'll even allow you to work with other points in my life so long as you do not reference information tied to my show biz background or material I've published within the world of stage magic and metaphysics.
The point is, you simply need to feed me 3 key bits of hard data and from there WE can start looking at you in a slightly different light.
I do not mean to come off as a jerk but this is something tied close to my actual vocation. I'm not yanking your chain, I'm well spoken on this forum when it comes to defending the Psychic scenario but I'm far from being a gullible New Age nut job too; I'm a realist living in a very real world, I invite you to be a part of it.
