Okay Anita, it's time to give up. We have all given you waaaaaaaay more time and energy than anyone half as attractive as you could reasonably expect. Yes, you are beautiful and men do fall all over themselves to get one of your piercing blue-eyed stares, but I suggest you get into modeling and out of the psychic/skeptic schtick. It's just not working for you.
I have worked closely with hundreds of psychics over the years, both as a working "pro" and as a skeptic - so I know what I'm talking about when I smell a rat. Sorry, but both of the readings you gave me Saturaday night were not even an average example of what someone could expect at a psychic fair or at any paid venue. If you had been doing that kind of reading at most places around here in Hollywood, you would be asked to leave. Even the cheapest agent I know wouldn't book you for that kind of stuff. I know you aren't into that sort of "entertainment," but I can't call it anything else at this point. There is nothing there no matter how much you insist and it's time for all of us who have better things to do to close this door once and for all. Oil painting would be a better outlet for your imagination.
There is nothing even remotely paranormal about you. I would have loved it if it was so, but it isn't. Sorry.
As usual, there are only two possible options for what you are " portraying" (a curious word you yourself used on the day of the IIG tests): 1) deluded or having some psychiatric problem that needs attention, or the more likely situation and one that requires less effort and therapy, 2) you are a charlatan. There is no other answer and no other comment. Reality beckons. Embrace it.
Mark! Thank you for volunteering for a reading, and for the napkin trick. Your background is in the showbusiness psychics and in skeptical work. You know that commerciable psychic entertainers need to give a lot of information, to talk reasonably fast, and to make it interesting. And as a Skeptic you want to reach a conclusion in a paranormal investigation fast.
Unfortunately my background is in chemistry and physics research, where research hypotheses require tedious and iterative attention. Where all parameters affecting the outcome need to be carefully identified and investigated, one at a time. Where we deliberately set up experiments in which the hypothesis is expected to fail, just to confirm the cases in which it fails. Where we carefully consider the outcome and do our best to find any alternate experimental setup that will show another angle of the hypothesis.
Perhaps the gravity affected the outcome? The temperature? A fingerprint? Air pressure? Well if there is reason to suspect anything, we go back. We can scratch months of carefully conducted research all because of a new hunch that tells us something differently, all to learn more about the hypothesis that is central to the study, and in reaching closer towards the final conclusion(s) in it.
And it is with the same scientific rigor and stubbornness I approach my claim. Quite willing to falsify the claim once evidence points to that, but
not just because "skeptics said so". Skeptics said so even before there was any test.
The napkin trick utilized a testing condition which my
study had already shown will block the claim from manifesting. Failing this napkin test does not falsify my claim, in the same way requesting telekinesis by a claimed telepath does not falsify their claim.
And if you want me to identify an illness in you, please come up with something better than well-kept diabetes. I did not even check for diabetes. Give me a checklist that specifically asks for diabetes, and if I check
no then
that is evidence against the claim.
Only an inaccurate reading can present evidence against this claim. My claim never was, nor does it need to be, that I perceive all health problems that are considered to be there, but that when I
do perceive something, it would be accurate.
I regret that I am not entertaining enough for showbusiness psychic woo, yet that was never my intention. I am just a boring science student, and I regret to tell you that real research is very often boring and tedious. I need more exposure in order to gather more experiences with the claim. If I did offer psychic readings to people, this claim would be over, one way or another, pretty quickly.
And please refrain from compliments in this situation. Given this way they are insulting and totally irrelevant. I have a claim and I am studying it. Every time someone sees not my work but other irrelevant characteristics it rages me. Twice I have had to cut my long blonde hair short because of this. I once even shaved my hair off to make a point and to demand eyecontact, not people looking at me, in situations dealing with my study and work. Besides my eyes are green.
But thank you Mark for your assistance.
