I saw programme where a guy was showing what a load of bollocks all that is ...
... he gave a bloke 20 minutes training and before being let loose doing readings for people. Convinced them all he was psychic.
The *real* psychics in the audience said he was naturally gifted and that you couldn't conclude anything from the experiment as it wasn't done under controlled conditions. Funny how none of them would take part in a controlled experiment though to show that they were genuinely psychic - this despite being offered $1 Million of they could prove their ability.
