It's a parlor trick.
One way you can test your friend's "ability" is to make sure that the reading happens without your friend being able to get any cues from you. Your friend is most likely getting visual clues from seeing how you react to what he's telling you. A subconscious nod of the head means that he's on the correct path and he needs to keep persuing that line of guessing. A blind fold for your friend would help, as well as making sure he's facing the other direction.
Another way is to make sure you don't fill the blanks in for him. John Edwards, a television "medium", would go into a crowd and say "I'm getting a N or an M name in this direction, does that make sense to anyone?" Well, names that start with an N or an M are extremely common and more likely to get a "hit" than with any other letter. So, when you think about it, yes, you did have someone in your family that started with the letter M - your Grandmother Mary. He didn't get anything right, your brain wanting to see a pattern and you wanting to be helpful, have just made him seem like he's doing the impossible.
Another thing is to write down everything that he says. Because we're pattern seeking animals, we tend to only remember the positive things and forget the negatives. So, he made have made seven or eight bad guesses, but because it feels miraculous, you only remember the things he got right. Keep track, you'll be surprised to find out what that hit/miss ratio really is.
Remember, anyone can talk to the dead. They just don't talk back!

It is not a trick good for you for being skeptical thoe I have a hard time trusting people my self. There is allot of scam artistes out there but I am in a group of close loving friends that are readers,mediums, etc and they are great loving people that just want to share there gift with others. Every one has a level of physic's ability's mine is mainly intuition that is about 99.9% right on the money I have feelings and had to learn to trust them I do not have pictures of people or names but I can draw what I feel or people I feel and its rite on .I would go with your own intuition if you feel he is scamming you he probably is if you feel there was a real connection there probably was trust your gut its usually right

If he was at least 80 to 85% correct, then he is legitimate.
No medium or psychic is 100% accurate.
However, him being a friend, you have to figure out how much of the info he already had from your relationship.
You decide.

Your friend is not a medium. Period. There are no such things as medium, only con-artists, and the deluded.
Don't get burned. Stay far away from this person.

If he's not a small or a large, he's probably a medium. It's a fairly common thing.

Very well could be if he is getting things right. HOWEVER< you may have also given him clues in the past that he remembers: you say he is your friend.

If they were getting things right, what's your problem?
