There seem to be a decempnt amount of psychic reading places around so it seems psychics can stay in business.
Do you think a lot of people thwt go to psychics are doing it for kick, or people think it could help them or something?

One of my friends did it out of curiosity, and she reckons the Psychic freaked her out because of the accuracy :/ She initially did it for the kick, but it seems to have helped her out!

I honestly think a good portion genuinely believe in it. People also visit all types of clergy for similar life advice (and believe it).

The psychic Miss Cleo used to make mad money until I think she got busted for a scandal, but I remember she used to have ads on TV all the time and probably charged a lot for her psychic readings.

This was back in the prime of the "pay-line" marketing programs of the mid 80's-90's. Even back then, I remember "psychic hotlines" were upwards of like $8 a minute. Ridiculous.

My wife is into the psychic thing. Collecting metaphysical rocks and developing her own psychic ability. She's been to a few and we even had group reading in our house.
Its surprising how accurate the legit ones are. I've heard of cold readings but the medium who did readings in my house was pretty accurate.
i'm still a skeptic but have seen come crazy things.
