No, how would I know what time of day/night it is where you live given that I don't know where you live.
Depends on how you define money, but tentatively yes. Gold coins aren't subjective, but their value is.
Out of curiosity, what sort of test would you use to prove that he can do it?
He would have to provide information that could only have come from a dead person. Trouble is I don’t think such absolute information exists. The proof couldn’t be any information known by the person having the reading because JE could be a mind reader and not a psychic. It’s a bit like a god trying to prove it’s not an advanced alien from another planet. Given how virtually impossible, it would be to prove that people could talk to dead people, highlights how pathetic it is that some people accept mundane things like recent purchases as absolute proof.
Didn't spend none of your wealth on book-learning? Even us po folk know that "classic" has several meanings, not the least of which is "old and beloved", like a '57 Chevy Bel Air. It's something that you've seen so often that it becomes a bit of a cultural icon whether it was actually great or even good to begin with.
Yours is a classic blatherer's I'm A Psychic And Here's Proof routine. You tell a good story, present an interesting personality and expect people to combine the two and say, "Gosh! Must be a real psychic!"
It doesn't matter that you once saw a killer or that an actor passed through your town. It matters whether you could actually prove to us, in a verifiable experiment, that you could do this. (Since there's no way you can prove the instances in the past - they're just anecdotes.)
Oh, and I'm a triple Virgo. As Linda would tell you (maybe John Edwards could ask for us) that means I need to see evidence.
The kind of test JREF does, i.e. a blind test. Edward would sit with a series of subjects with a screen between them and without questioning them (to prevent cold reading) and write down the messages the dead give him for them. Each subject would then be given copies of all the readings and asked to pick the one they think is theirs. If he can consistently produce readings which their subjects can identify more often than would be expected by chance he would have proved he has some kind of paranormal ability. Once that had been established, the source of that paranormal ability would then need to identified, perhaps by asking for information only known to the dead, as suggested above. But there's no point bothering with that until the usual biases and tricks have been eliminated.
It's possible to make a few perceptive or lucky guesses about people without being psychic. In fact, it's expected. So even if your anecdotes are true they are not evidence of any paranormal ability. You would need to demonstrate that you can make such predictions about people more often than would be expected by chance and intelligent guesswork before any claim of psychic ability would be taken seriously.
