Ok so I have this joke with friends. I want to learn cold reading so I can pose on a street courner as a medium, psychic. The idea is to do the whole show straight up until the end where, contrary to most cold readers who are "happy happy heaven" stuff, I inform someone their loved one is in hell...and blames them.
Again the joke is just the calousness of just revealing such horrible things to someone, slandering someone who can't defend themselves.
Well....the shtick was already taken apparently.
and before anyone asks, YES this is real, and yes she claims to be a real psychic. I....I can't believe people tolerate her. If this is what soothsayers were like back in the day, the whole 'burning at the stake' idea suddenly makes sense. Not that it's right...but I can *sure* understand it now. I'm sure that girl's father was ready to chop up some kindling himself at that point.
