Or do you think that they know a lot because they just basically guess things that are true for most people?

A lot of what they say IS true, for the reason you give. It's called 'cold reading'. Yes, there is such a thing as psychic ability. But I don't think it includes any real ability to tell fortunes.

I don't listen to psychics. They're nothing more than circus charlatans out to make a buck and witches for profit because certainly demons have been around longer than people have so they know things and can make things up to be quite convincing and deceptive to gullible souls who dabble in the occult thinking it's all in good fun. Anybody with experience in hiring or profiling can probably fake it. You play on the devil's territory and you will get burned.
Stay away from it and give your heart and life to Jesus. He holds the future in His hands and all power in heaven and earth is given to Him.

I KNOW they're good at generalizing, and that's about it. If I ask you 20 questions, you'd be amazed at what I could tell you about yourself. And I'm not psychic or psycho. I perceive them as being parasites. I can't believe some of you people. Someone could ask a question about bowel movements and you people would find a way to bring Jesus into it.

What if your mother grew wheels and became a bus?
Psychics are schysters. Enjoy them for entertainment purposes, but never give money to one, and never make life-altering decisions based upon a "psychic".
They all have a boxful of excuses when their revelations don't turn out the way they said they would.

no , unfortunately the sad fact is one can only perform divination on oneself or very close family as you would not know a person well enough to apply tarot or other symbolism to aspects in their life, physics fortune tell: fortune telling works on the basis of fixed invariable outcomes , divination the true 'fortune telling' aseess the outcome of events in order to determine the the result if certain events take place results are not regarded as fixed

I think they are all fakes. How can a human see into the future? Only ALLAH can do that. I think psychis are a scam and just out to make some money from unsuspecting people.

Thats the problem with it some times they can hit right on ,but they are messing with familiar spirits that know everything about you , and they lead you to a dark and lonely road ,

Most psychics use generalizations that can apply to anyone.

No I don't. They are possibly good at asking leading questions, or picking up body language. They have never succeeded in controlled experiments, that I am aware of.
