This blog is about religion more than anything, but when I stumbled across the video I couldn't help but post it.
It features psychic James Van Praagh doing a "reading" that is totally uncut. It is perhaps the most brutal example of failing at what is called a "cold reading" that I have ever seen.
A "cold reading" is essentially when someone makes educated guesses about you based on your appearance and responses to questions. When done correctly, it can create the illusion that the "psychic" knows things about you that he couldn't possibly know without some sort of magical powers.
This is a unique example of what can happen when the reading goes horribly wrong.
