No. The techniques used are well known and documented, a combination of hot reading (Knowing things about the subject in advance) Cold reading (Basically, playing 20 questions - making guesses rapidly, ignoring all the misses and chasing up on hits selectively until it sounds as if you got it right!) and Barnum statements (statements that at first glance sound very specific and impressive, but which in fact are so woolly and vague that they could apply to a wide range of circumstances and events)
Despite their claims, Every Psychic who has been subject to proper, controlled double-blind testing has failed utterly and miserably. The James Randi foundation offers one million dollars to anyone who can demonstrate paranormal powers under fair test conditions. It has never been won, and looks very safe for the future!

I believe certain people have certain abilities but as far as the people getting paid for psychic readings no
