StopSylviaBrowne - I Speak With Sylvia Browne

I was always sorry that you and Susan couldn't have met me in NYC to see the taping when I had tickets for all three of us. :) It would have saved Claus the cost of three very pricey tickets. :)

I'm up to "Live Readings" and so far it sounds exactly like any Sylvia Browne appearance on Montel.

One comment for now- you for got to close the parenthesis here: What is my health going to be like? (Thyroid/stomach problems, back problems, blood sugar problems and other things were mentioned. At one point, Browne recommended that one woman take a certain dosage of Lecithin, something she recommends frequently.

Edit: You couldn't have handled it better! I am so proud of you :D.

You're the best!

Edit 2: It's a funny thing but I also met a couple John Edward fans at the Sylvia Browne taping I attended. They mentioned seeing that show live, as well.

Edit 3: I once wanted to pose the same challenge to a psychic such as John Edward or Sylvia Browne. My late maternal grandfather's name was Wladyslaw- unlike most audience member's family names, not a name that can be guessed or cold-read out. No matter how many letters John Edward throws out, he wouldn't come up with that one :).

Edit 4: "To those people who have sent me emails, saying that if only I saw Browne in person, I would believe in her "psychic abilities," I have to say: Sorry, no. If anything, I am more convinced than ever that Browne is doing nothing more than cold reading, and very amateurish cold reading at that."

Nothing ever convinced me that she was a fraud like seeing her in person.

If it's of any significance, I think that's close to the number of people at a typical Montel taping: around 200 or 250. Maybe between 250 and 300.

I must admit, when I saw the title of this thread I was just about to turn off the computer and go to sleep (it was around 2 a.m.) but how how how in the world could I not read about RSL vs. SB? Holy schmoly! And I was so glad to have missed out on an hour or so of sleep.

You and Susan (and Larson) handled everything beautifully, RSL, and I know if I was in that situation I probably would have sounded completely idiotic or would have delightedly asked a Shawn Hornbeck question and would have been sent to the slammer for yelling at the hideous con woman.

Also, I get really pissy when faux authority types try to throw weight around, so I would have probably made a huge messy stink about being detained for no reason without any authorit-tie, and maybe would have even called a lawyer later to see if I had a cause of action for defamation of character when SB clearly lied about your behavior-- from my understanding of it, usually if there's any sort of crime alleged (like disturbing the peace) that is a big lie, the burden of proof shifts to the defendant instead of the plaintiff to show the truth of the statement.

But if you did stuff like that you would be less of the calm, cool, rational skeptic that you are and more of a raving, manical lunatic like myself.

Thanks for putting yourself on the front line and for being brave and calm about the whole thing. You are awesome.
 
Robert, this is one of your best, and most devastating articles yet. When I saw the title, I actually started to breathe harder in anticipation! :D And I wasn't disappointed.

I was particularly interested in the conversation you had with the others afterwards. It seems clear that, despite fans saying that you have to see her in person to really appreciate her, many people were anything but impressed after watching her pathetic performance. The woman who's mother died was particularly heartfelt. I imagine her comments would have clinched the deal for anyone who was still on the fence.

It sounded like a total bust of an evening for her, from her incredibly stupid "Astounding Insights" right down to her attempting to start a scene with you. Congratulations on staying a gentleman at all fronts at a time when she was clearly trying to discredit you. You da bomb! :D

As an aside, I've never understood why she seems to brag that she has a private investigator on you and Randi. If she's psychic, doesn't she already know all your deep, dark secrets? The woman seems to be not only a bad performer, but an idiot as well. Kudos on all your hard work to expose her, and to your wife for sitting through that abomination alongside of you, and her general support.

And kudos to Claus for funding the evening! Great job, all of you.

Gee to bad her psychic powers didn't see you coming that way she could have had her mirrors facing toward you, you evil person. Oh security theres someone here questioning my ability and I need them out of here before they tell the truth about me. What is nice though is the fact that her lecture wasn't a sell out, gives one the impression her falling is failing.
 
What an extremely lame move from Browne to call security for no reason whatsoever. Like some cry-baby that didn't get her candy - a scene caused by you - she switched to provocation. She simply wanted to see you in trouble.

Larsen, I like the question you had for her. :D

Seconded. As a bonus we now know what the F in CFL means. :)

My favorite:

The last woman who joined our "group" asked Sylvia, after telling her that her mom had died two days ago, if she had any message from her mom for her. Sylvia said that mom "liked the service."

The woman recalled this for us, and said "We haven't even had the service yet - she died two days ago."

:newlol Her psychic abilities are really astounding.
 
Great article. What an idiot she is!


Little typo:
"She talked about how she was on her "last life," and that most people were these days,"
should that be 'who she was' ?
 
A great article. I really enjoyed reading it. I found it interesting that several other attendees were also skeptical of her performance (unless they were on the same mission as yourself and have their own 'nasty' blogs!).
 
Great article, Mr. Lancastr. One small typo:

Guard: Okay, thanks. May I as if you are a guest here?
Guard: Okay, thanks. May I ask if you are a guest here?
 
Looking at the one sign you photographed, it really has to be a kick to the gut to realize that Carrot Top is a bigger name than you.
