How to Fake Psychic Powers

While it neither ethical nor moral to fake psychic powers in order to take advantage of another person, knowing how to deliver a fake psychic reading may educate you and prevent you from falling prey to unscrupulous mediums and clairvoyants. By practicing these fake powers with friends and loved ones, you will better recognize true psychic abilities when they occur.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Tarot cards
• Crystal ball
• Tea leaves and tea cups

1. Use broad statements that apply to a large segment of the population in order to fake psychic powers. For instance, telling a client, "You are usually outgoing but sometimes you need time alone" will likely provoke a feeling of agreement, instilling instant confidence in your psychic abilities. Real psychic powers are usually much more specific.

2. Ask a lot of questions in advance in order to fake a psychic reading. Knowing a client's age, marital status, hobbies and family will give you a plethora of useful information for the fake psychic reading and allow you to improvise as you go along.

3. Tell your clients that they will need to work long and hard in order for your predictions to come true. This gives you an out if your predictions are inaccurate, since you can simply say that the client did something wrong that prevented the prediction from occurring. This is especially effective when it comes to removing spells or curses.

4. Be insistent if you give your client a wrong answer when you fake psychic powers. For instance, if you give her a name that doesn't mean anything to her, simply insist that, spiritually speaking, the person in question is known by more than one name. Never change your answers to make your predictions seem more real to the client.

5. Make your predictions contingent upon repeated sessions when you fake psychic powers. Tell your clients that the predictions will only come true if you are able to see them regularly, in order to help them manage their lives and their futures. This guarantees a steady source of income for you and gives you another out when your predictions do not come true.

Tips & Warnings

• The use of psychic props such as tarot cards, crystal balls, tea leaves and other items will add to your mystique and credibility when you fake your psychic powers. Just don't go over the top or you risk appearing too gimmicky.
