Yeah and this skeptic's underhanded tactics-trying his best to mess up the sensitivity of the reader with misdirection, lies, and stubborn prejudice against any hope of any real connection. I am not surprised that the sensitive medium did not pick up on anything because he was reading a stone cold idiot who would destroy the psychic power with his lack of faith and insincerity. It is the ass who came to this spiritual experience with preconceived notions that it was all a fraud to steal your money. If that is the energy you bring to the experience-as with all phenomena in this physical dimension-you will get exactly what you expect. Sorry but subtle symbolic energies of psychic and symbolic power-do not operate in that mean and small minded and small hearted atmosphere. The skeptic (and this guy is a mean little shit) only has him (or her) self to blame for it. Don't blame the messenger...he is doing his best to cut through this tiny little man's psychic resistance.

James Mandolare Sorry I got pretty negative there Q.L. and I don't want to be that way-but you get back what you give out-energy wise. But Let me ask you one question. Your beloved technical science has shown the Universe-even the physical limited light spectrum we can observe with our limited human senses- is vast almost beyond conception? If your limited pragmatic rational world is all that exists-then why is the cosmos so huge? What good are all those billions of galaxies? Nature does not waste anything and energy is never lost-it just transforms in the observable cosmos: so why? If this physical dimension is all there is to life, why not have one solar system and leave it at that? Immortal being is reflected in the infinity swirling all around us. To ignore it is to remain ignorant while you think that you are oh so intelligent and realistic and brave with regurgitating your scientific and mathematical knowledge that was handed to you by other fools who were conceited enough to think they could reduce the mystical infinity of consciousness into the microscopic limits of mere experimentation and rote mathematical calculation. It is the same science that once taught the earth is flat and the center of the cosmos and that we are ruled by some Tyrant in the Sky! Trust the infinity that is aware and alive and loves you forever-just for having the courage to exist as an immortal evolving being experiencing the infinite cosmos in every possible variation. I'll take a big sweet piece of that fruitcake! You can keep your stale bread. Good luck to you sir! Yer gonna need it! :)

I think you are absolutely wonderful! You are awesome for taking the time to take this guy down!

I was in contact with a psychic medium a while ago called Vicky. She did not charge £500 for a shitty reading and is not famous at all. She charged only £20 and what she said during the reading, describing the person on the otherside, was accurate and consistent. Everything in that 45 minutes was spot on. There was nothing that could be described as cold reading. Very specific details were described that only the deceased and I could know. She asked no questions, no fishing for info. She just described it to me for me to say yes or no. The famous psychic mediums are showmen and doing it for effect. In it for the money. But the ones you have never heard of and who don't charge ridiculous amounts of money are most likely very good. I can honestly say she was amazing.

I've worked with so many trainers in my career that were incredibly educated and would put every single celebrity trainer to shame with their knowledge and the exceptional service they give to their clients. Being famous doesn't always equal being the best. Perhaps there is a small population of people out there that are truly psychic. One thing I've heard a lot of people that claim to be psychic say is if they used their gift to make money they would experience bad karma as a result. Perhaps there is a very small population of people that are truly psychic, but no one would ever know who they are because they only use their gift to help people connect with a loved one that has passed and don't pursue money and fame.

If this were actually what happened in my own reading I too would have been calling "fraud". The mistake you made here is giving him any answers at all. I did not. Being the skeptic, I called a random number from a blocked phone. I would not give ANY information. My opening comment when she answered the phone was, "“Hi, could you tell me how much you charge?” She answered, “I am donation based” I said,“Before I make an appointment with you could you tell me something that lets me know you are real?” She went on the give me the most phenomenal spot on reading. I gave her NOTHING to go on. I was aware of what to look for before I made the call to this woman so I knew what not to do. She later told me I was the most skeptic person she had ever dealt with. This medium told me names, (only the names of my friends and relatives) and specific stories related to each deceased person. It is a true shame if this reading is indeed fact. Although James Van Praagh was never my favorite medium, he is highly looked upon in his field. I would love for you to explain to me how my medium got the information for my reading.

You get what you come for. If you are skeptic you will leave a skeptic. I have done thousands of readings (and not a one over $20). The best readings came to those who were wide open to the experience. An example: A woman sits down and in her enthusiasm for life I start telling her about her home life, her family, and the kind of love that fills her life. She showed me this with my eyes closed. She was blown away. She tells her sister who is far more skeptical. Ms Skeptical sits down and I see nothing. And I told her that. In her eyes I failed because I was supposed to tell her about her dead uncle who in fact was not even remotely a part of her reality or this reading. She invented a way to validate her skepticism. 2 readings, same family, polar opposite effects. it gets good when a reader with their eyes closed starts reciting the inner workings of your life; a complete stranger to the reader. And that happens more often than not for a seasoned psychic.

this is car crash cold reading at it's worst.

One of the most frustrating things about psi ability is that it often is either hot or cold. I know from my own experience of accurately receiving info from spirit for a person, that when it works it works. To receive the info,you have to relate (without question or pause) what you are being impressed with in your mind. If a person (client) is sceptical or negative, it creates a block and the imagination of the psychic then is not linked to spirit and ones own ideas come through which is not accurate. I attended one of James workshops some years ago in Houston TX. Not only did I experience psi accuracy from other people from the attendees, but found, felt and experienced my own abilities. I saw James in action and I will tell you when he is "hot" he is right on amazing! He was amazing. Yes, . In this video, . He is "cold" and not connected. This can happen to the best of the best .What he should have done is end the reading and not charged him. He was reaching, struggling and his imagination was running the show. Making no excuse for James shifty reading. However to conclude all psychic readers are frauds because James, being the "best" failed in his reading is not being intellectually honest. That would be like going to a musical show where the singer had a terrible set and conclude all musicians are terrible. Just saying...

This is just amazing. i wish we all could do this! are there any more videos of maybe other people debunking psychics in this way? Thanks again for the vid, xo

The thing I don't get is...if a medium can get information from the dead like "did she give you a ring with a dark stone before she passed?"why wouldn't the medium get clearer information about dates and names? Surely if the dead can tell him something so particular as a piece of jewelry, they can spit out or spell out the name "Roger" LOL..I just don't get it. Besides that, how DARE he PRETEND to talk to your MOTHER and FATHER like that! I think that takes some major audacity and a black heart to look at someone's eyes and pretend to talk to their deceased parents..not only that but to charge you to lie to you? It's pure horseshit.

There is a vast difference between the Psychic Realms of disembodied consciousness and the narrow limited skeptic prejudice against anything spiritual outside of the narrow prescribed limits of the mechanical world view. A person who believes they can reach the Spirit World are not lying to you from their point of view. They are using their mind to reach beyond space and time to a realm of psychic consciousness far beyond the limits of physical rational thought. The Realms Within are psychic realms of symbolic reality-not the nuts and bolts of physical being. Names and dates are tedious to psychically aware disembodied consciousness-their reality is a Dream Time- therapeutic reality that processes moment focused physical being to refine and understand the true symbolic nature of immortal being. A spirit may resonate with a personal object symbolically without necessarily remembering specific details from their timeless perspective. Look up George Anderson if you want a better example of a very sincere, sweet, and accurate medium.

You are one old gullible useful idiot. Pathetic

This is one of the best psychic debunking\exposing videos I've ever seen. Its funny and even a bit emotional when he defends his father and James Van praagh simply solidifies himself as a charlatan and a fraud, just like every "psychic" to ever live. Well done.

As an atheist, I wanted to say that I loved your conclusion. It was so refreshing to hear that you admit you take it on faith. I am going to check out that video you made with an atheist. I am expecting a wonderfully rational discussion. :)

Just so well done. Thanks, and keep it up!

Man. When he choked up thinking about his dad. It hit me right in the feels. 😢

I understand what this guy has to say but there was so much more to my reading that can not be as easily explained away. I too had a mention of cigarette smoking. My reading was over the phone. My medium knew NOTHING about me. She said, "your friend was a smoker?" I said, "no" (he was) she continued, "well he died of lung cancer.(he did) As you can see, I keep coming back to this video and other debunking videos as well. I am trying desperately to debunk my own reading but as yet, can't.

@@timmmtinygr00mingchannel7 There are fakes in every field and Mediums are no exception. My advice to anyone wanting to speak to a Medium..tell them NOTHING. Let them do all the work.

You got me on the Lone Ranger picture. I didn't know you were being tongue-in-cheek, so I was expecting a masterpiece, lol. Truly hilarious! Thanks for the laugh, Kemosabe.

A woman believer posted a lengthy comment on my short version of this video, but for some reason it doesn’t show in the comments section but only on my email. She pointed out that I was way too quick to dismiss the impressive fact that James knew of my deceased sister. Oh really? Let’s check the actual transcript. James: “Do you have an older sister?” Me: “No, no.” James: “Do you have a younger sister?” Me: “I had a younger sister, yeah.” James: “And she’s passed on.” Me: “Yeah.” James: “Yep, I get her right next to you, on this side of you over here.” Does that sound like a remarkable hit, or like typical fishing, and then salvaging a miss by adjusting, and repeating what I just told him as though he knew it before I told him, which he did not? Come on, mediumship believers. Tell me something specific that only I and my deceased relatives would know. You cannot do that, can you?

It's like 21 questions, but instead its like 5000 questions.

My dad died the same way this mans father died ....aortic aneurysm . This VAN PRAAGH should be ASHAMED OF HIMSELF !!!!!

Do not be afraid of the Universe! Consciousness is eternal. Treat Death as a welcomed friend and accept that we must experience it to be immortal. I wish you Peace of Mind and Love of Life to you and yours today and every day.

I love how these psychics will claim they hear someone say something like; "listen.., please listen. I gotta tell them so please listen", yet moments earlier, all they can do is show the letter "R". And then, he "feels" his mother had a tough childhood. "Listen" James, if she can demand you listen, then why does he have to feel anything about this woman's childhood. Surely she would just say, "my childhood was crappy".

am I the only one who teared up when Mickey was talking about his dad? 😢😢

When you start talking about how proud you are of your dad, made me tear up. My dad died a year before I had my 1st kid, 6 months after I married, and he was my absolute rock & I have no idea how I've been able to get through life these past 12 years he's been gone. Even now I know my life hasn't been what it would have been had he been around & I'm not as happy. My thinking is these people might actually believe in what they're doing. But in reality they're experiencing schizophrenia. That would explain his confidence in what he does & would explain all the horrible misses.

Thank you Miklos. Not an easy thing for you to go through. The burden responsibility of knowing the truth is to share it without reservation. You have my respect.

JVP after his death goes to a heaven's gate and St Peter says - Hey, U know what, I see the papers got it all wrong, I think you should go back and tell them all that you'd always been a good comic.

If someone deceased makes it to this dimension I'm pretty sure they'd have more to say the the letter "R" etc.....c'mon now. Great insightful video. Expose their frauds.

Great work. I tried to test Van Praagh on a radio show this evening but they cut my mic halfway through.

Dear Miklos, While my personal beliefs regarding clairvoyants, psychic phenomena, etc. may differ from some of what was shared... I must tell you that I was both very impressed and touched by your openness, your investigative intrigue, and your intimate family stories. When you spoke of the grace in which your father carried himself, and with your concluding explanation of your view of spirituality by design as a theist, I was moved very much so! Almost to the point of tears! Thank you for the thorough work here and for offering an honest, well conducted, opposing view! I may be a New Age, hippie, eccentric of sorts in some regards. However, I was a clinical research scientist for many years. There is always more than meets the eye, better understanding that can be reached by having the willingness to objectively receive the full spectrum of information on any given topic. I believe you provided that here in a rather admirable, neutral way. Great work, my friend! Warm Regards, * Tye * (btw... Big Steve Earle fan! ;) )

Psychic mediums MUST be humble and not showing off their gift for money (helping others for a living is fine but showing off on t.v., etc. is egocentric) or for fame. That's where I believe their gift ends.

Because the EGO often creates a wall to the gift that one possesses. I disagree with your extreme position on this issue. The FBI, CIA, Police, etc. have used mediums that have worked. Some have failed but others have been very successful. I think your narrow worldview is just that. Narrow. Open mindedness goes both ways.

Arrogance is not the answer. "In 2008 while being interviewed for the Skeptiko podcast, managing editor of Skeptical Inquirer Magazine, Ben Radford challenged the host Alex Tsakiris to give him the best case for evidence of a psychic solving a crime. Tsakiris had "repeatedly accused skeptical investigators of purposely choosing the weakest cases". Radford agreed to investigate in depth a case from any period in history, around the world, "that presented the gold standard for evidence". Tsakiris chose psychic Nancy Weber who in 2006 appeared on an episode of the Biography Channel Psychic Investigators. Weber claimed to have helped the New Jersey police solve the serial murders of Amie Hoffman and Dierdre O'Brien from 1982. The police arrested James Koedatich in 1983 who was later found guilty of serial murder. Psychic Investigators interviewed Weber as well as the two police detectives she worked with, Hughes and Moore, who verified Weber had given them information she could not have known.^ "The Great Psychic Detective Challenge".

This is an amazing un-biased view type of video. One of the best I've come across. I was 90% sure that these mediums are fraudsters but after seeing this, I'm totally convinced that he is an absolute farce!!! Disgraceful. The person on the video is fair and open minded and I think this is some of the best evidence we have to 'disprove' these people. it should be put on TV and in magazines and open the world's eyes to people like this. I love the way at the end he said he believes in God and an afterlife. Just brilliant. Brilliant video! Thanks for posting

This is great. Such an excellent video. Every person should see this. (Also you remind me of the Max Cherry character from the film Jackie Brown...I feel you have a deep connection with Quentin Tarantino, I'm picking that up, it's coming through very strongly)

Love this video thanks so much :)

He starts describing his personality... you're a bit of a loner, you read books, that world was more real than this one. You're artistic, etc. That's not coming from Aunty Brenda sitting on a cloud above his shoulder, that's what bollocks there percieves and makes up about the punter. Also, notice he says the spectacle-wearing punter has an 'eye-problem'? What next Einstein, that he has hair on his head and if he doesn't comb it of a morniing it looks messy? ;-)

Someone needs to do this to Theresa Caputo.

please tell me how i can connect with james van pragh? i really want to talk to him

This was very interesting, thanks for the video!

Just finished the entire video. Wow, Van Praagh was a fish out of water.

It's sad to see that the human psyche is so weak that so many fall for this claptrap - time and again! It's the fear of the permanence of death that allows gullible people to fall victim to these charlatans - in many ways, it's just like the way religion plays to the same fears.

Hi SubwayRatt, I don't know how to reach you, so I'll just post this here and hope you see it. I have read that Van Praagh fishes ahead of time, and that programs he's involved in are rigged. He was caught on a 20/20 show years ago claiming he did not get info on a person's deceased grandmother ahead of time, but they showed him doing exactly that on another camera that he did not know was already on at the time. Transcripts are key, so you can read exactly what is going on, and in what order, otherwise it's easy to get fooled. I took a brief look at the Larry King transcript, and I see he pulls all the same tricks - time shifting, making good guesses, moving on if it's a miss, adjusting to make a miss into a hit, etc. And, he provides utterly useless information. Not to mention, who hasn't had a leg problem at some time in their lives, or been associated with the buying of a car, etc., etc.? I think the key, absolutely, is simply one big thing: Is the medium able to come up with some specific thing that ONLY you and the deceased person could possibly know? And, always, the answer is no. Check out a short clip "Orson Welles on Cold Reading." Very insightful. Another medium I had a session with did better than Van Praagh - "Miklos Jako and Miss Jean." Thanks for your comments.

OK, I finally found the clip. Yeah, impressive. How did he do it? I don't know, exactly. But notice that he got to pick the person; so that leads me to believe he already had the info on her ahead of time. James, or assistants have been known to circulate among people before a show. And he is very skillful at working information picked up into his act. Same thing happened at a recent show of his I went to in NH. Lots of very specific hits. Very impressive. Yet, I know magicians do not REALLY make a tiger disappear. It's a trick, a very clever trick. Same with James. I don't know exactly how he does it, but I know he's not really communicating with dead people. Why did he do so badly with me? He clearly said he had my relatives right there, but he gave me wrong information again and again. Same thing with another medium I had a session with - "Talking to the Deceased: Miklos Jako and Miss Jean". She was better than Van Praagh, but she was not able to come up with any specific information that only the deceased person and I would know.

@jghaught87

His appearance on the view he used several deceiving techniques. First of all he asked 23 different questions. So, he should of had at least 23 hits. Secondly he was using rapid fire statements. He's throwing out statements that could be hits or misses but he immediately jumps to another question or statement before the sitter can respond to the previous questions or statements, making it look like a hit. The third technique uses the same principle as hypnosis. The power of suggestion people think that he must be right, so they make everything fit even when he's wrong. And finally he does hot reading. Along with the spying and eavesdropping by his staff they also make audience members fill out detailed questionnaires before the shows. His appearance on the view could have been done with cold reading alone. However it does look like he was using hot reading.

Good points jghaught87. I found John Edward and Suzane Northrop also use the rapid fire technique, so you don't have time to reflect on the things they said wrong, and you naturally pick up on only the hits. And I think that on those occasions when mediums are most impressive with specific details, they're doing "hot readings," using information they gleaned ahead of time. Pre-show conversation among audience members I'm sure are filled with nuggets of gold the mediums manage to mine, and expertly use later in the show. Of course it's hard to prove any of these tricks they might be using. So a one-on-one session to see if a medium can come up with specific info only the deceased person and an objective client could know, is the key. As discouraging as it is to see so many people be so credulous, it great to hear from someone like you who has a better grasp on reality, and human nature. Yeah, Carmen, I got your message. Thank you.

The fact that Van Praag never corrected his course is shocking to me. The man gave clear indications that his mother was not strict or traditional, yet JVP kept trying to make it work.
