That I have to read. Where was the evidence published, who peer-reviewed it, and which scientific groups have confirmed her findings by repeateing the studies that led to the evidence?

I wouldn't try here to convince anyone but would just welcome anyone be it skeptic, believer or those in the knowing to come along and see for yourself, Joanne is well known for changing the beliefs of Skeptics with outstanding readings and evenings around the world.

That hardly answers my questions. Where is this compelling evidence? Watching a showman perform would prove nothing, since Derren Brown is by far the best clairvoyant I've ever seen and he admits up front that it's all a fake.

Derren brown isn't a medium and uses mind trickery and whats called cold reading.

... and she's that renowed she plays at WMC's ..:hihi:

That's rather the point. If someone who openly admits to not being a medium, is a better medium than most of those who claim that they are, then watching a convincing medium perform can't be taken as proof of anything, can it?

Will there be any food available at this event such as pies and pasties? also will there be a vegeterian option. What are the toilet facilities like (ie how many in the venue).

thnaks.

ps - is there a dress code such as dinner suits for men?

Hello

is there anybody there.

Mercury ?

Post once for yes and twice for no.

Not sure what relevance any of the above have but the evening is sure to be an excellent night. No Dress Code, No Food just a genuine medium bringing comfort to others.

I also have to now add legally that these events are for entertainment purposes only.

You could start changing the price to £0.

Fail at the first test.
"is anybody there" ?
"give us a tenner and I'll tell you"

I'm waiting for the announcement, nearer the date...

"Cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances...!

Now THATS the post of the night.:hihi:

If I came along and she doesn't convince me - and I'm happy to take part in any questioning part of the show - do I get a full refund?

That's a serious question; skeptics would say you don't have to be a medium to guess the answer.

I'm willing to take part in a serious test - but I'd want my money back if your girl doesn't prove she's got insights into 'life after death' - if I wanted pure entertainment I would opt for Derren Brown.

Thanks Mercury. will there be bingo during the interval?

No but her Red Indian spirit guide will be present.

Best psyhic ever.

If she is indeed a genuine medium, I'd have a very great interest in going. Can you please direct me to this evidence you mentioned so that I can confirm it?

Please post a link to some compelling evidence. I hate being a sceptic.

You owe me a new keyboard. Just spat my coffee over this one.

With a bit of luck her and the rest of these con merchants will eventually disappear off the face of the planet.

oh! didn't see that before I posted.

But, Oh, boy! that raised a chuckle anyway.

Am I alone in thinking that she's a bloke?

Tell me if I'm wrong but I believe you cannot just turn up to these sorts of events and get tickets on the door, you must book.

So you phone someone and give them your name, address, card details etc. Very easy therefore for someone to do some quick research - family history etc. I've also heard of people phoning up people who have booked pretending to be doing surveys, even calling at their house and looking round.

So that message 'from Bob who says look after the red vase' doesn't seem that special anymore.

Were these events popular before the internet? It's amazing what people find out via the net.

And so do mediums, whether knowingly or unknowingly. Until a proclaimed psychic can show under controlled conditions that their powers are real (and not one psychic has ever done this).

It has, however, been shown by people such as Derren that the appearance of psychic powers can be easily presented by non-paranormal means. It is therefore up to the psychics to provide to provide extraordinary evidence for their extraordinary claims. Figuring out that someone's dead relative's name began with an 'M' and they died suddenly is not good enough.

If psychic powers were shown to be real it would be an extraordinary discovery and would be the biggest discovery in science ever.

These psychic "experiments" (oh, how I hate the legislation that gave psychics the word experiment to legitimise themselves) follow the same usual pattern of throwing names out to the audience ("I'm getting a Wendy. Who knows a Wendy?"), cold reading ("I'm seeing some sort of back pain or heart condition or possibly arthritis or cancer..." Ah! He nodded when I mentioned cancer), complete guesswork ("It's a round shape, like a B or a C or an S or a Q, maybe a G but there might be a pointy bit too, like an R or a W"), direct questions ("Was he a sailor?"), character reading ("You're a bit of a worrier aren't you?"), statistical guesses ("I feel his death was something to do with his chest") and sometimes hot reading as well (getting the audience to fill out a short questionnaire beforehand - "who do you want to contact?").

I would recommend to anyone who is unsure or who believes in psychic abilities to check out this article on the ASKE website here (http://www.aske-skeptics.org.uk/psychic_readings.htm) for things to watch out for if you do visit a psychic or medium.

In fact Tony Youens who wrote the article and is a founder member of ASKE is speaking at Sheffield Skeptics in the Pub in March for anyone (believers or not) who is interested and would like to come along.

How did it go?
