Gorgo,
Could you ask him if there is a Mike, or a Mark, or a Mathew or a Marry or a Margaret or some sort of M or maybe an N sounding name describing a person that cares about me or somebody in my family?
Thanks, this will really clear up alot of questions I have.

If I knew then what I know now then I would know more now than I know. |

| I'm sensing that you really mean a John, or a Paul, or a George. |

Hey Gorgo, why don't you write a comprehensive essay on his technique and style? Then you can have your pic in the book and a real reason for going. |

| I'll give that some thought, thanks. I found out that the 'show' is at 2:30 in the P.M, and people start lining up for it early in the morning. It's all general seating. They expect about 3800 people. So, I don't know how much I'll see or hear or want to. |

That reminded me....Gorgo, hope you still are reading this folder.
Here, do this:
You know how those people plant spies or have mikes or whatever in the line to hear what people are talking about? Well, like Trish said write an essay, but in this case, make up some plausible story and talk to your wife about dead Uncle Jasper and that you hope you get picked because you want to find out what happened, and his untimly death you think is holding him here so he can contact you......
Then when John tells you that Jasper wants to tell you he loves you and the money is burried in the back yard, you can say.....What the hell are you talking about, I don't have an uncle Jasper.
It will never get on air but the people in the audiance will know. |

I doubt that it will be televised, and with 3800 people, I doubt that I'll be picked. I'll just go and observe and try to write some things down that I notice and if I write something up I'll post it.
Yeah, Kil, I do get a kick out of this stuff too. |

Well, we got there about 11:30 A.M., and some people had been there since 6 A.M. Quite a long line, as people were spread out over the sidewalk, not in a tight line. The doors opened at 12:30, the show started about 2:30. Before the show two screens showed some episodes of "The Other Side," including one show which told about John's life. As a little kid he was obsessed with superheroes. They told this as though this was important to his becoming a psychic. They told of the psychics that told him that he was psychic and that's how he should spend his time. How he started out reading cards and realized that he was getting information from "The Other Side."
The first half hour he just talked. Generic 'spiritual' stuff like "be in the moment." Then he took Questions and started reading the rest of the two hours.
The show itself was better than I thought it would be. I'd never really watched his TV show. The only experience I've had with people who "talked with the dead" was at a spiritualist church where they did nothing but throw out bait and fish for information. He did a lot of fishing, "does the number four have any meaning for your family? Someone born in the fourth month, or the fourth day of a month? Maybe an anniversary of something?" "A Roger, or Regina, or Reginald?" He also came up with some information that someone had to do some real reasearch for, I think, or some pretty good shills. Very slick.
He had two TV cameras working, displayed on the two big screens. One that followed him and one with the face of the people he was working with so you could see their reaction. This was where the real show was because you could see the people crying when he described their dead loved ones, etc. Some very touching stuff. People want to believe this so much.
3800 people x $40 a head for two hours = where do I get a job like that? |

| Try and be really vague and trip him up. Expose him for the twat he really is. That's what I'd try and do if I was in the audience. Alas, it's probably not live TV. Shame... |

One of my clients had a daughter who died horribly in a car crash. She went to see Ole Johnny boy. She was hoping that he picked her so she could find out. Unfortunately he did not choose her.
She said she never really believed in John Edward until her daughter died and she found out he was coming to Oz.
I feel she needs to believe. |
Mistakes are a part of being human. Appreciate your mistakes for what they are: precious life lessons that can only be learned the hard way. Unless it's a fatal mistake, which, at least, others can learn from.
