Gordon Smith Cold reading 2

[lapmarty]

not to mention, that they had to waited that their loved one pay a ticket to a show, to tell them their important bullshit wich is basicly just a accont of their death, wich teh love one surely already know, and that they love them? what kind of stupidity is that,

Couldnt they tell important thing, what happend after death, where are we going, ?? where is the fucking will that will clear all the problem away,!!

around the world people pay to hear trivial shit, yet not one answer to this!funny

[lapmarty]

obviously cold reading use the same gimmick as edwards williams, pragg, the do you understand, teh name beginning with letter, etc, but how can people beleive this crap is over me, spirit have nothing interesting to say, and they waited for those show, what do they get in line, then appear on the side of their beloved one, to tell them their name began with a E, and then they say nothing more except confirmed thing after their loved one tell them to the medium, what kind of stupidity is that?

I do not and never have believed that there is a single person who in the entire world who has any pyschic ability. Apart from al the spurious "cold reading" rubbish - which is the basic format for all so called mediums, scientifically not one of these mediums has been proven to have any kind of paranormal ability. NASA has spent literally decades and millions studying the paranormal and pyschic ability and so far has turned up NOTHING. What should that tell people?

So if you examine your own consciousness properly and still cannot find any evidence you will be correct to your own beliefs BUT not correct as to the existence of said psychic phenomena per se. There is evidence of these things already but your attitude puts blinkers on your eyes. Prove me wrong first - do the test.

[klindred]

Before scientific instruments like electron microscopes, there was no direct proof of electrons, just effects. When you ask for proof of life after death you are asking for an instrument that can detect it. When an instrument is built that can detect consciousness you will have your proof. Until then, your skepticism is unwarranted. But if you really want the science in the meantime, you have to experiment with your own mind. There is no other way. Examine your consciousness properly first. cont

Say he's infiltrating a family so he can give exact info on someone at a show. Say he's quite clear to only one or two at every show. Suddenly there's not very much time for being a barber is it? Or does he pay them? Is the old woman a bribed actor? Well you are very, very sceptic arent you Riley? I say the truth is somewhere between the keen belivers and the sceptics. But I give you this, your approach is good for identifying the false ones.

The reading with the football ticket guy makes me laugh. Asking a Glasgow audience does someone have a season ticket for Ibrox? Way to play the odds Gordon, like that wouldn't get a hit. I wonder if the next night he changed it to Parkhead just to really show off his powers!

I do have a small niggle with this vid tho. When the guy recounts his reading I would say thats a perfect example of retrospective falsification, not confirmation bias.

[MavisRileyJunior]

No Im not.

You claimed you had proof. You believe in Colin Fry and mediumship I want your evidence. Kindly reply with some .Thousands of mediums etc yet no scientific evidence. Hmm wonder why...

So if you cannot supply scientific evidence of mediums this disucssion is over.

#2. 'Cathy Shaw' - Mavis, you think GS must have prior info? Two friends of mine said that is how he does it, when I showed them this programme. BUT - how does he get such info? No one has ever come forward to say they may have mentioned specifics to someone chatting to them in the foyer or who visited their home or outside the venue. Subjects would remember having mentioned their 'Lourdes holy water bottle' or that they could have been overheard discussing stuff with a friend. How is it done?

[MavisRileyJunior]

People write to him, maybe they are "fans" who have asked him to contact specific people. Its all pretend.

[MrSiddeney]

you really are deluded and have no actual experience of regular mediumship... this stuff happens all the time and platform mediums in church can't know the thousands of people who randomly attend these churches... what is wrong with you?

[MavisRileyJunior]

Im deluded?!! You are the one that thinks dead people talk! Ive seen many mediums too,and they are all fake. They dont need to know them,cold reading works without. If you arent prepared to be educated dont bother posting.

[MrSiddeney]

you mean conform to your beliefs........ so Im right you didn't get what you expected from a reading you expect spirit to perform for you not tell you what you need to know... You said in the posting above that hew was given prior evidence so don't change the thread of the argument...

[MavisRileyJunior]

You are female middle aged,single and believe mediums are real?!!

If the dead talk why has no medium ever solved a murder? Just one? Ever?

Show me some evidence of spirts.Any. Anywhere.Ever.

You cant.

[MrSiddeney]

work on your cold reading! age you could have gleaned from my profile. I believe some 'mediums' have gifts. Karmically they are here to provide evidence not clear up the mess created by physical existence. vicarious evidence is not possible.. you cannot disprove my own experiences. a pointless argument but you are so vehement in your denial it goes beyond logic. quantum/ particle physics show that we basically exist from electromagnetic energies... the posibilities are endless...

[MavisRileyJunior]

No cold reading or reading your profile just the sterotypical believer in mediums.

Still waiting for answers and evidence.I have no experiences to deny.There has been no medium EVER proven genuine. I will continue this discussion when you provide me with one.

[MrSiddeney]

Well I am sorry I don't fall into your stereotypes. why do you want evidence? The discussion is why do you care? The discussion is what do you think creates your allegedly physical existance? Are you single and middle aged?

[MrSiddeney]

No.. the only thing you got right was that I am middle aged... Have you ever explored quantum or particle physics and explored your 'physical world'. You do realise the known universe is basically held together with electromagnetic energy.

[MavisRileyJunior]

Last chance. Please provide evidence of a genuine medium and scientific proof for life after death. If you do not in next reply I will block you from commenting further.

[MrSiddeney]

:-) u are so lame... block me I am getting bored of baiting the mindless...

[MavisRileyJunior]

You have been given ample opportunities to back up your fantasies.You have not done. All YouTube can see you are delusional believer.

[Steerpike07]

#1. 'Steven' was not the person that died - the guy says 'that was one of the friends'; on the other hand 'back of the head' - pretty precise compared with the range of causes someone can die from; on the other hand - Ibrox season ticket - pretty obvious guess given location; 'couldn't get to the match': maybe a 50/50 chance & he didn't mention the washing machine as Mavis says. Note we only see subjects where he gets hits. What's the ratio of those that say "no, that's not right"?

[Ko252]

wow. all of the audience is females. :D
