When they’re not researching people on the internet to perform a hot read on someone,
those claiming to be psychics love to edit out or gloss over all of their failed predictions
and pass their lucky guesses off as paranormal powers.
They usually get away with it too, managing to fool 41% of Americans into believing that
psychic powers exist.
They know that most people won’t take the time to go and fact check them.
And that’s where I come in.
I’m here to show you the bigger picture: the psychic cringe fails.
Enjoy.
She is a nationally known Chicago psychic who has a unique way of seeing the future:
through coffee.
I pour regular coffee into a cup and then I’m able to see when I pour cream into it,
I’m able to see letters, numbers, body parts, faces-
That’s called your reflection.
-everything in the coffee.
Bullshit.
You’re talking bullshit.
I used to drink 30 to 40 cups of coffee a day.
Prince William?
Prince William… and Kate.
I had been saying this for a while but I really see twins.
Didn’t you say that last year or the year before when they got married?
The year they got married you said that.
She did say, twins.
We have it on tape, the year that they got married so that would be really strange if
that did-
-Well, they’re saying that’s the reason she has such bad…
(Right, the morning sickness) morning sickness right now
So how’d she do?
The royal couple had announced their pregnancy almost a month before this prediction and
gave birth to NOT twins.
But they got pregnant again and two years later gave birth to NOT twins.
But… they got pregnant again.
And gave birth to…
NOT twins.
♫ Oopsie-Daisy!

We decided to put hits celebrity medium to the test.
We asked her to meet us at the most haunted spot in New York City.
Who wants to find an old, haunted village?
Not us!
I’ll tell you what I heard.
It could be your mother saying this.
I have to wait a minute or two.
You have an Uncle Jimmy?
Uncle James?
No.
I say yes.
She got many things wrong, like what my children look like.
I just see one thinner and one is regular, or a little… maybe heftier?
I’m looking at body type.
No, both are pretty fit.
Personal details.
You didn’t lose a baby?
No.
Like a miscarriage or something?
No, no, no.
Alright.
But sometimes she got close.
You have one sister?
Is her name, like Sheila, or shhaa-sha-sha I keep hearing “sha”
Her name is Sandra
Meh!
M.E.H…
MEH!
Your mother, is it true that she helped raise somebody else’s daughter?
Ok, sure, yes, true.
She has another sister, what’s her other sister's name?
Give me a minute ok?
Diane.
Is it?
It is.
Oh!
Wow!
I was surprised that she got the names right.
That’s what she said.
But on a hunch, I decided I decided to google myself and there it was: my mom’s obituary.
In it, Aunt Diane’s name, among other details.
Hmm…ehh…
Are you wondering what your favorite celebrity will be up to in 2016?
Well, we’ve enlisted the help of psychic medium, Cindy Tryon to try to share what’s
in store for the stars this year.
Let’s start with Lady Gaga.
They show me that there’s a marriage coming up for her, but there’s somebody trying
to put a roadblock or there’s some interference coming, is what they’re telling me, but
I see hands are going to be very strong united and they’re showing me that the marriage
is going to go through, whatever the issues.
According to TMZ and People, Gaga and Taylor have officially ended their engagement after
months of speculation that they were on the outs.
Edward Arthur Dames perfected remote viewing methods and techniques employing his technical
remote viewing training which guarantee his commercial clients an unprecedented 100% data
accuracy rate.
We have an economic collapse a little over a year from now.
Very quickly, we have deforestation and we’re looking at a barren Earth.
People are going to start moving underground and into habitats or strong structures, but
food is going to be an extreme problem.
Do you know offhand how many of us get plowed under?
Looks like around 80%, possibly 85%
Grim!
This is totally bleak.
How much confidence do you have in this?
In the economic collapse and in the pathogen, 100% or I wouldn’t be talking about it on
the show.
Is this irreversible?
It’s out of our hands right now.
This will begin about a year… a little more than a year from now we’ll see this.
Boy, I didn’t have a hint this was one coming, folks.
♫ I feel fantastic and I’m still alive!
♫
Believe it or not, despite having an abysmal prediction record allegedly worse than chance,
Ed Dames is still predicting the end of the world any day now.
It’s going to be a Mad Max scenario, that’s what you’re going to be confronted with.
It’s absolutely critical or you’re going to die.
Fear-mongering to sell his remote viewing course.
Put your life back in your hands and obtain the information that may be the deciding factor
for your survival.
Wait a minute, did that just say “zombie apocalypse?”
It totally did!
To find out what my future holds, I’m booking appointments wired up with hidden cameras.
What is it saying about my relationships?
Marriage?
Kids?
No, not marriage right now.
What I do see is that you haven’t met your soulmate yet, but you will.
But it does show a relationship for you happening next year.
A relationship next year, but no marriage.
No marriage.
Not for right now.
Tell that to my wife!
Sorry honey.
And it also shows me she has an accent.
She’s not American.
Remember, I’m already married!
She’s an American and no, she doesn’t have an accent.
If you make a fist, I’ll tell you how many kids you’re going to have.
Two.
I’m going to have two kids?
Yeah.
What are the sexes?
Well, it seems like you’re having boys.
All boys?
That’s it.
Nope, I have two daughters and one son.
Do you see kids for me?
You are meant to have them, but not right now.
Whoops!
Wrong again.
After we’re done I go back to properly introduce myself.
Hi again.
I’m actually from NBC News and we’re doing a story about psychic readings!
Oh my god!
I didn’t see that one coming.
I didn’t even see it coming!
I didn’t see that one coming.
Didn’t see it coming.
I didn’t see that coming.
Oh my god!
Are these readings not accurate?
No, they are.
But I am married and I have kids.
I understand that.
And sometimes within a reading, it’ll pick up a past life.
That’s not what you told me though.
Yes.
Listen, if you want your money back I will give it back to you.
If you don’t, then you need to get out of my store.
Hi.
The woman who just gave me the reading…
Uh, she stepped out.
Is she coming back, or…?
An hour or two.
So we came back later.
They’ve now put this metal gate in front of the door.
I’ll knock.
And even try a third time.
Ay, no… no.
Everybody’s talking about three weeks away from a new president.
The year of Trump.
Oh, I know!
What is going to happen?
There’s a lot of opposition around him this year and possibly impeachment within this
year.
Well, next year, when he… yeah.
Oh, really?
Okay, in 2017?
Yeah, in 2017.
That soon?
Yeah.
Interesting!
If I give you guys like a name of a YouTuber, do you feel anything?
Yes, oh sure!
And if it’s too far, well cut it out.
Let’s start with PewDiePie.
Yeah, I feel like he’s very doable.
I also see him moving a little bit away from it too.
I do too.
Within a couple years.
Yeah.
He’s wanting to transition out of it eventually.
Because I feel like he’s kind of hit– not hit a wall, but he’s kind of hit the
ceiling with what he can accomplish with it.
And I feel like he’s kind of wanting to do something different.
Ok.
So I think in a couple years he could transition into something else.
Woah!
Holy moly!
Oh, wait, that from an article before this reading.
Here’s what actually happened: It’s been 4 years, and PewDiePie is still putting out
content at an insane rate.
He went toe to toe with the entire nation of India fighting a massive media conglomerate
for his throne as the most subscribed to channel – quadrupling in size and as I record this,
he literally just broke 100 million subscribers.
He’s kind of hit the ceiling with what he can accomplish with it.
♫ Here, let me serve you bitch lasagna ♫
The person that passed with the overdose, what’s the relationship specifically with
you?
My father.
Your dad, ok.
Does he have a brother who’s also passed?
No.
Yes, he does.
He only has a sister.
There’s another male that’s with your dad on the same level.
*sigh*
There’s a J or G connection to that family.
His… his wife.
Would be the J or G?
Yes.
Does she have the brother figure who’s passed?
No.
There’s is a male contemporary to your dad on the same level.
So this is your father.
You either have a father in law, an uncle, there’s another male on the same level that’s
there.
I can’t think of any.
Sure you do.
Uhh…
I’ve got all night.
*Nervous chuckle* I’m sorry!
That’s ok.
He has a sister…
Ok.
Unless she has a penis, it’s not her.
*Audience laughs*
And she only has … his wife only has sisters.
There’s a male contemporary and there’s a J or G connection that comes up.
So if your dad’s acknowledging the alcohol and/or drugs or the consumption of how he
got there, I’m telling you there’s another male contemporary that he’s got: husband,
brother, cousin, friend.
It’s on the same level that he would be on.
There’s a J or G connection that comes up with this.
No.
Yes.
Nothing I can think of… yeah.
I just want to make sure that it’s me that you’re talking about.
That’s my job, not yours.
Oh, okay.
You’re fired.
♫ a horse is a horse, of course, of course, and no one can talk to a horse, of course
♫
So I’m a pet psychic.
Ok.
Can I talk to your horses?
Sure!
Oh, honey.
When you tighten his girth at first, you’re doing it too fast.
He doesn’t mind it tight, but it’s too fast.
Do you ever notice that with him?
No.
Oh, honey.
He says his hoof inside the front-right is sore.
It’s sore?
Yeah.
Really?
Does he feel lame to you at all?
No.
Oh, honey.
What did you think about it?
Well, I uh... (mumbles)
Yeah?
Did you believe it?
Huh?
Did you believe it?
I would say that I’m skeptical.
How about you?
Eh…
You’re like, “You haven’t sold me yet.”
*Laughing*
HA!
Fake laugh!
Hiding real pain.
There’s still no sign this morning of a Malaysian airlines jet that disappeared nearly
72 hours ago.
Sea or land?
I don’t see it in the sea.
Ok.
I don’t see it in the sea.
I don’t believe it that it’s in the water.
I don’t.
Malaysia’s prime minister says investigators have a positive ID on a piece of plane wreckage
that washed up on a tropical island on the coast of Africa.
This broken bit of airplane wreckage washed up on the French island of Réunion in the
Indian Ocean.
When someone dies unexpectedly, they kind of remain earthbound so they re-live what
happens to them.
So they stay attached to that area or they kind of stay attached to where they last were
because they’re thinking, “Am I dead?
I don’t know,” because time and space collapses.
This guy is so full of crap, that if he was Pinocchio, NASA would have commissioned his
nose as scaffolding for a space elevator.
So whether it’s a hundred years or it’s ten years or five years or five days, time
is an illusion for spirits.
So it’s all as one.
I saw a similar sort of theory written out on a wall, but it was written in shit.
It was the ramblings of someone you’d find by themselves in a hospital eating flies.
I really feel that that plane is intact and I honest to god feel that not everyone is
dead.
Were you very young when your dad passed?
No.
There was a young, well, what do you consider very young?
My dad just passed two years ago.
Ok.
Who would be-
-I’d like to think I was very young!
We’ve got my psychic bananas ready to predict your futures.
We’re going to move to our first call.
“Will Wales win the football on Friday?” says Aaron.
And the answer is… *gasp* that’s the perfect Yes!
That is...
Can you see the Y?!
Yeah, that is a big, big Yes.
I sure could be wrong here, but I get such a great sense for the White Sox this year.
The White Sox?
I really do.
The White Sox were the second worst team in their entire league that year!
You are literally a worse psychic than a banana!
You said that you predicted some health issues for Selena, but you’re also predicting a
pregnancy for her as well.
I am.
A lot of pregnancies and splits in Hollywood this year coming up in the year 2014.

They’re also telling me to talk about California.
Why is California so prevalent here?
What’s out west?
Nothing.
Yes, there is.
There’s a western pull, so I don’t know if somebody’s out there now, um, or if somebody
was out there when this happened?
There’s somebody that had just gotten back from the west?
