You've been told by whom, that he helped solve crimes? This article is ridiculous!

If Mr. O'brien is so perceptive, tell him to get in touch with James Randi and submit to a test and become a millionaire! This is a terrible and biased article. Why do you not give the skeptical point of view a presentation in this article? Someone should tell the author about fishing and cold reading. This article is absolutely pathetic. It is nothing but spam for a psychic. Do some real journalism on tarot cards. Tell the people those cards were really intended for nothing more than playing a card game. The so-called "psychic" use of tarot is based on the now debunked pseudo-history of 18th century occultists.

Not fun. Just thinking adults believing in this metaphysical crap, and thinking people like this are anything more than low-level con artists who have strong intuition and some training. Sorry if that sounded like an attack against you. It wasn't.

So matilda, you're against anyone having any fun at all? No matter how silly it might seem to you?

Are you fucking kidding me? What's next--enthusiasm for crystals or talking to ghosts? Like all such assholes, this person's just a very good con artist, albiet one with more willing victims.
