Psychic Sally morgan caught cheating?

Yep, wouldn't that be great. But I suspect no one would be in on it other than her immediate crew, who would of all have signed contracts so they couldn't gab!

Those two lighting techs do need to come forward at least, because they can perhaps explain why it is that the women in the audience heard ONE voice speaking, saying exactly what Sally said before she said it. Not just 'two lads chatting amongst themselves', which is what Sally's cover story seems to say.

I do wish the JREF would make some kind of formal invitation to Sally of taking up the MDChallenge, making it really public so that she would be cornered into either accepting or turning it down and avoiding it. Lots of people post things on the JREF fb page bringing Sally into focus, but JREF sadly very rarely reply or comment.
 
The question is not whether Morgan did or did not use a microphone, it's whether she can or cannot do what she claims to be able to do. Even if she doesn't deliberately cheat and has convinced not only her audiences but herself of her ability to contact the dead, the likeliest explanation is still the usual cold reading/Forer Effect/confirmation bias.

My fear is that she will win her libel case because deliberate cheating can't be proven, and this will be touted both by her and the media as proof that she is a genuine psychic when it is not.

You're right, they probably could make more of it, though it may be a case of not being worth the effort in this case. Randi and the JREF are not so well known in the UK, Sally Morgan is not well known outside the UK, so getting media interest when one party hasn't been heard of by most readers may be tricky. There has been some coverage by the JREF: according to this page, DJ Grothe was interviewed on Manchester local radio, but unfortunately the link to the recording doesn't work so I can't tell if he mentioned the MDC (I'd be surprised if he hadn't). Paul Zenon did mention it, so 'Psychic' Sally cannot be unaware of the Challenge.

From what I understand it was an invitation to Leigh-Catherine, the psychic on This Morning who agreed to the MDC, but has since chickened out of it saying 'it's a bit dodgy legally' in her view.

Just seen this on youtube. lol. Worth sharing. The more people keep this story going, the more chance the media and JREF will take a keen interest.

From memory, he mentioned the MDC in relation to Sally Morgan, but since Leigh Catherine was there, she appeared to be interested in it. However, I find it hard to believe that even if she had not heard of the MDC before, Sally Morgan is still unaware of it.

Zenon mentioned the MDC, and LC, having claimed she could prove her ability, was pretty much railroaded into agreeing to do it - she tried but couldn't hide her lying eyes lack of enthusiasm. Quite amusing, but I'm betting it won't happen, despite the ITV offer of flight tickets & camera crew.
 
maybe we should all email Philip Schofield or Holly Willoubooby to try to get them to push this one.

Great idea. Philip uses twitter doesn't he? perhaps lots of tweets could be sent to him too. This Morning ought to follow up on it, whatever happens.
 
Regarding Twitter,Sally Morgan can still block people not sure about deleting tweets though.I've sent her a few tweets and one to her lawyers too :D

My husband is a theatre sound & lighting technician, and he says that all the different brands of radio mikes all use different frequencies. However your radio scanner would be able to find whatever frequency is being used by whatever is in the vicinity. You'd want to hope the theatre has thick walls, and that people have their mobile phones turned off, but even then you shouldn't have too much problem.

Also, most radio scanners only have one output, so use it for your headphones while you're finding the right frequency, then unplug them and plug in your recording device for the rest of the show, perhaps.

Thanks for that. I have some theatre friends myself, but mostly in lighting, so the sound expertise is helpful :) Managed to find a combo scanner/recorder that I may pick up, to save the hassle of bringing an extra device just to record. I've been to the GCT before, and I know that it kills a lot of mobile phone signals (probably due to thick walls). I couldn't get a signal on my phone the whole time I was in the theatre (very annoying).

On that note, does anyone know what the legalities are of bringing such a device to the theatre?
 
Just a thought, but.... These folks are not necessarily morons. (They're blood-sucking miscreants, scam artists and toad licking alley dogs, but not necessarily morons.)

They're at least media and web savvy. The thought that someone hasn't picked up on this thread and others is fairly remote. Ergo, she won't be transmitting at her next Dublin show, IMHO. She'll devise other "hot" methodology.

It had occurred to me, it wouldn't be the only way I'd try to debunk her shows...
