6 Most Humiliating Failures By Celebrity Psychics

6. Here you go! "Psychic Defective - Sylvia Browne's History of Failure"

On the CSICOP site.

For the TL/DR types - Browne's success rate is 0 for 115. (Of 115 crimes she stuck her snout into, she provided useful info in exactly none of them.)

As for John-Edward and "Crossing Over" - I went to a Skeptics Society meeting once where James Randi spoke about that asshole.

One of Randi's researchers went to a J-E show with a hidden camera. The host of the show repeated over and over that J-E did not speak to any members of the audience, and got all his information via Other Ways of Knowing.

But Randi's camera kept running during the commercial breaks. And during those breaks, J-E talked to people in the audience about their dead loved ones, etc. IOW, he was cold-reading them and getting information.

After the break, those were the very people J-E called on as subjects for the show. So the TV audience at home saw something that looked miraculous. But it was just an outrageous fraud.

These people really bring out my Inner Atheist Torquemada. I'd not only jail the phony psychics, but the idiot TV presenters who enable them.
