Whistle-blower Mark Edward exposes how psychics con believers | Mail Online
Interestingly, that aphorism was NOT delivered by P.T. Barnum as most of us have been led to believe.
That being said, it's accuracy is probably quite true...
Recently, on the U.K. Daily Mail website, Scarlett Russell interviewed Mark Edward, who has written a book about phony psychics:
"Anyone who has visited a medium, and been astounded by their psychic abilities, will go away wondering the same question: How on earth did they know that?
Well, it’s bad news for believers, as one man has gone to extreme lengths to lift the lid on ‘psychics,’ revealing the tricks they use to con innocent people out of thousands of pounds and give them false hope.
In his book, Psychic Blues: Confessions of a Conflicted Medium, Mark Edward, 62, from Los Angeles, explains how he became a spirit medium and psychic entertainer, then later used these skills to ‘scam the scammers.’"
