Going to a psychic medium party

Good afternoon. I've been invited to attend a party where a "psychic medium healer" will be offering private readings. The medium, so i've been told is a studen of Edgar Casey's A.R.E. The person hosting this party is a very good friend who loves the more spiritual and mystical things in life. She is convinced this medium is the real deal because she has told her things that she could not have possibly known. Even things that my friend didn't know until much later when she made a connection. While I have no intention of paying for a private reading, I may go just to see the way the medium mingles with the crowd and hear her monologue.
My friend is a counselor and a Psychology major but is big time into holistic and homeopathic stuff. I will not disturb this party as it would be rude. She is aware I'm a non believer. I think I will be lending her my copies of Why People Believe Wierd Things, Demon Haunted World , and Flim Flam. Oh doubt it will make a difference but you never know.
I know I have seen people post about Casey's research center on here but I can't use the search function from my Kindle.
Should be a fun evening.

If you should get access to a search function, it's spelled "Cayce". He's the guy who managed to predict, in 1934, that Hitler would "rise to power in Germany". Hitler had become Chancellor in January 1933.

Thanks for correcting the spelling. I'm somewhat familiar with "The Sleeping Profit". If this medium is indeed a student of A.R.E, then I kinda feel bad for her. She's already been scammed out of some serious dough.

I've attended many psychic lectures, as long as they were for free, and even played for some private readings in the past. (Research and entertainment purposes only.)

My blood pressure wouldn't allow me to do that. Good luck.

It's hard to resist the urge to start asking questions or pointing out obvious trickery. Also hard not to pull off a little spoon bending miracle in another room and let that spread through the group. The party isn't mine. Not going to be peeing on other peoples parade.
 
I could stand being around psychics at a party but you couldn't find a number with enough zeros to pay me enough to get me to be in the same room with a medium for more than 2 minutes before I cracked and called them out.

Suggest that instead of medium they should be served well-done!!!!!

I don't think they spelled that like that either, but it looks near enough to me.

I love auto wrong. :-) The Sleeping Prophet is making more of a profit now that he's actually sleeping. The big sleep.
 
Talk to other party goers about what they think. Give them clues to look out for. Do not worry about convincing the host. His mind is already made up.
 
When people talk to you, let slip a few incorrect but interesting details about yourself - unusual birth place, star sign, odd parent's names, etc. Not everything about you, just a few things. Then see if "the Great Seer" regurgitates any of these in an effort to amaze everyone with their prescience.

If you don't want to spoil the party, just act mildly surprised and don't correct them.

If you do want to teach your friend a lesson, write the points down beforehand, leave them in an envelope with her, and then go over them to your friend afterwards.

Otherwise, it should be hilarious. I've seen people try this sort of scam and it has been PAINFULLY obvious what they are doing.
 
I think I would do some research on the 'psychic medium' in advance and then do a little cold and hot reading of my own. :)
 
If this to be a genteel occasion, I'll omit my usual "take some muscle" advice. Just watch your back & you should be fine.

Report at length here afterwards. Please.

(I love hearing about other people's risky adventures!)
 
As I suggested when we talked about it, you know what she's looking for in a cold reading, make sure you give her nothing and let your friend witness her complete failure yo read you. Of course it will be "a bad aura" or "negative vibes" but maybe you can start waking your friend up!
 
This should be fun. I have done a little research on tomorrow's psychic/medium/healer/bible interpriter. From her bio on her website, I expect her to be entertaining. I'll give a report afterwards and if anyone wants to know who they are or their website I will provide it through a PM.
Ill tell you this, their address is Lily Dale, NY.
