i believe it is edward, without the s.
first time i hear about him and i already trust him as much as 'john edwards', with 's', the president wannabe. meaning, zero.
the moment psychics advertise and try to sell you something, the moment i dislike them.
but i believe there are 'psychics for real'.
not this one, tho.

I understand there are various fakes obtainable, yet i don't think he's one. until eventually you have had an journey with a valid psychic medium (like John Edwards) you will in all threat proceed to be a skeptic. all of us that has had a valid journey with one knows it can't be a fraud. The psychics stated suggestions that there substitute into no way they might have found out from the different source. And no, that suggestions substitute into not 'jogged' out of them-he might bring up suggestions on his very own devoid of it being volunteered by potential of those being study. I have no want to argue my opinion with non believers who've already desperate that John Edwards is a fraud, yet sometime in case you ever open your techniques to it, flow against your glaring fears and have a reading with a valid psychic, I guess you will substitute your techniques. Many skeptics have replaced their minds after their stories. He does not be as in demand as he's that if he have been a fraud. If that have been real, then each and every psychic (sturdy or undesirable)may be basically as in demand. The hyperlinks i've got considered that a number of you have published indexed under are thoroughly biased, with suggestions that fluctuate into created by potential of perplexing middle disbelievers of the psychic phenomena ordinarily. Non believers feed on that form of suggestions b/c the mere concept of an AfterLife scares them, consequently they want "info" that they don't look to be incorrect. Why might an AfterLife scare each and every physique? Or that it rather is possible for spirits to flow to and talk with us? I embody it! i'm confident and delicate with my concept.

No, and anyone that does is not thinking straight. John Edwards works very hard at what he does. But if he could really do anything "supernatural", he would just go win James Randi's million dollar offer for any proven supernatural act, and then retire!
Allow me to be "clairvoyant" and to 'read' your character through the internets:
You generally find it unwise to be too frank in revealing yourself to others. At times you doubt whether you have made the right choices in life. You have things about yourself you consider "personality weaknesses", but you are generally able to compensate for them.
Does that sound just like you? Be honest...

No. I have watched and to me it is obvious that he uses cold reading techniques. Let me tell you, though; I do believe in things that can't be explained. I have had precognitive experiences that have made me a very spiritual person. But, I really do not enjoy the very fact that there are mostly fraudulent people out there who make money off of their "talent" for reading people. I read Tarot cards, because I enjoy it. But, when a person sits at my table, I will show them how easy it is to first "read" them before I even consult the cards. I want them to understand that their is a certain understanding of human behavior that goes into the reading. Then, I let them be "entertained" by the amazing stories the Tarot will lay out for them.

psyexplo:
Could you be more specific with the link to Ariz U program? I'm not finding anything there about JE. Thanks.
I'm of two minds about JE. I can see where general questions can stimulate people to believe he's talking to them and then get more specific. I'm very familiar with the "cold reading" process and have seen it in use by other people. I'm not sure that's what he's doing.
However, there is also a sense with the people he reads that he is hitting on some very specific info about their family. They do seem genuinely moved by the experience. I can't imagine they are all actors, or all taken in by a con artist.
As far as income, we all get paid for what we do as a living...so I'm not sure that's valid. If people are willing to pay for tickets to a tv event, they are the only one's who can say if they get their money's worth. There are a lot less interesting ways to spend money. :o) I'd rather buy a ticket to this show than spend it on a ticket to a sporting event...but that's just me!

No, he uses classic cold reading techniques. Anyone who knows about the history of con-artistry, this is how con-men fake psychic abilities, or mystic knowledge.
Most people are not so vulnerable to this garbage, however those who have recently lost a loved are particularly vulnerable to cold reading mediums.
The other point is that he edits his show from 2 hours down to a half hour to make it appear more accurate than it actually is.

Well, if he did not do something that magicians can do without claiming to talk to the dead then possibly. The cold (and hot readings) are a pretty old trick and there are people who can do exactly what John Edwards claims to do, except these people will tell you it is just a trick. A bit of knowledge of human psyche and knowing how to phrase questions and knowing when to act on something, and you can appear to be speaking with the dead.

Im generaly skeptic, but open to investigation into paranormal activity.
What John Edwards does is human psychlogy and the tools of a con man.

Yes, John Edward has helped many people to speak to family and friends that are now gone. He has done this since he was young. God gave him this gift.

Put it this way, he won the Biggest Douche in the Universe award on an episode of South Park.

Anybody that advertises themselves on TV as something usually means they are not the real thing. There can be psychics that talk to the dead but you are not going to find they sell their time to Dawn so it can be advertised in the middle of his conversation with grandma Sue
