Just wondering if all of the people out there claiming to be pychic's are for real and if they can really see or know things about you.

"Psychic wins lottery"

Psychics employ many tactics to coax information... There is nothing supernatural about so called Psychic abilities.
One of the most popular methods which is actually used by John Edward (Host of the TV series Crossing Over) and just about every so called "psychic" out there is known as Cold Reading. This is the practice of asking very broad questions in an attempt to fish for reactions which will allow you to slowly narrow your response.
There is also Hot Reading which is similar to cold reading but you use information learned about the subject before hand. Perhaps a stooge or the psychic himself will have conversations with the audience or subject before hand and use this information to get reactions/details during the reading.
There are a host of other methods used, and they are all equally deceptive. Psychics are the scum of the earth. These people pray on peoples losses and insecurities to make money without providing a useful service.
Mentalism can be used for entertainment... such as a magic trick, but the way most psychics use their methods is reprehensible.

the bible says there are wicked angels who came down to live with the daughters of men.
So there is these spirit persons , aliens we can't see who come down to earth from where ever they are in space.
They cause people to know stuff.
You can see them inter acting with people Those are the real reasons that pychics work. Because they do know things we don't.

Don't know about that, but I do know that life is supposed to be a surprise. That's what makes it so interesting. What's the point of getting out of bed in the morning if you know exactly what is going to happen to you that day?

I think that there are real ones and I think there are also fake ones. Just like everything else.
There are abilities that are very real that cannot be explained through science. It's just one of those things.

Some people do seem to have certain abilities, but I am absolutely certain that some who advertise themselves as psychic are no more than mere charlatans.
