Psychics in the dark

[Richard]

Sunday the 6th of February saw yet another “Psychic and Alternative Fair”, this time in the northern Sydney suburb of Hornsby. The usual Tarot Card Readers, Clairvoyants, Aura Readers and Alternative Healers showed up to provide their services. Did you know that you can extract the toxins from your body by strapping tea bags to your feet?

I attended a free (well, after paying $6 general admission) session of a ‘Spirit Healer’ who did a very slow type of cold reading, involving talking to spirit guides in order to ‘heal’ volunteers from the audience. Strangely, she also ‘cleansed the aura’ by actually touching and stroking the back and arms of the subject, never seen that before.

But the ‘highlight’ of the day was the performance of “Sharina”, the ‘psychic’ star of weekend radio. Her act relies heavily on tarot cards and numbered chopsticks. I’m afraid her brand of numerology left the audience totally confused and she should think about simplifying it.

As I sat there, mentally ticking off various cold reading techniques, (oh, but I’m sure Sharina was getting her information from a heavenly source) to everyone’s surprise, the power in the auditorium suddenly went off. The blackout effectively ended the show and after 15 minutes of waiting in the dark it was time to go. Apart from Sharina, I counted at least 15 to 20 other ‘psychics’ and other fortune tellers who also totally failed to foresee this event which directly and adversely affected them.

Well, yes of course. But don't tell my wife. She thinks that exotic flavor is Orange Pekoe.
