    I'm a world class clairvoyant. My fees are a bargain at €1000 per hour.

    You just reminded me of a party I heard of where a clairvoyant was there for a bit of fun. Told the first person they were going to die, insisted the second had lost a baby (she hadnt) argued over her money and was asked to leave before seeing anyone else :eek: Moral is you should be careful who you invite to do this kind of thing!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,106 ✭✭✭turbot


    I'd probably punch a clairvoyant who told a friend anything that abusively negative, and if she argued over the money I'd ask her why she hadn't straightened things out on the phone, if she was decently clairvoyant.

    Also, don't expect a good clairvoyant will want to be hired as a clown for a party... thats kinda disrepectful.


  • Subscribers Posts: 19,425 ✭✭✭✭Oryx


    I think clairvoyants often take party bookings, a lot of people use this kind of thing as entertainment. As long as theres no drink taken, its not a problem. Mediumship would be different.

    Like I'm reading this thread and a party comes to mind I went to not long ago that had someone not called a clairvoyant, but rather an alter ego that worked therapy groups as their job. After a little too much wine, this alter ego person was asked to do their thing, and they had all of us make a circle with our chairs facing in towards the center, but leaving enough room for two people to stand in the center. We each then took turns, one at a time, standing back to back with this alter ego person, while he asked what was the most embarrassing thing that happened to you with a person of the opposite sex. If it was your turn, you would stand back to back with the alter ego and tell your story, while the alter ego will try to tell the real story that you might be hiding or glossing over. Of course, we continued to drink while all this was going on, and some of the back to back matchups were both amusing and sometimes too real to believe!!

    Like when I had my turn and told my story, this guy had me completely pegged and told everyone there what I had been reluctant to say, causing me to quickly go back to my chair and let someone else take the risk. Well, it was just after me that a guy stood back to back with the alter ego guy and began to tell his story, while his girlfriend in the circle listened a little too intently to what he was saying. So the boyfriend tells the story about a different girl he had met recently, glossing over any interest he might have had in her, professing his devotion to his girlfriend there. Then it was the alter ego's turn, and he must of pegged this guy for what was really going on in his mind, cause the guy he spoke about quickly turned around and punched the alter ego in the face, ending our fun evening with one blow!!

    Like I'm not sure this alter ego guy was clairvoyant, or well trained to interpret human behavior, or a little of both, but when it was my turn, he really blew me away and had gotten completely inside my head, then told everyone!! So if you hire a clairvoyant, or someone like this alter ego guy, or someone to pretend to be either, you might want to have a hose ready to water the dogs down just in case they start scrapping.:rolleyes:

    a lot of the former I would guess, although perhaps he was a touch empathic :) (clarsientient)
    either way, that kind of stuff is personal and should never really be discussed outside apro situations. The guy deserved a punch.

    I think some of you got things a little mixed up; I am not looking to contact the dead or find out who is going to die or have a serious accident or stand up in a room of people and tell them my life story.

    Years ago another girl I know had a clairvoyant come to her house (in Dublin) and there was 10 of us we each in turn went into another room for a private consultation where she told us about our past and some things that would happen in our future i.e. money, job, love health etc. she was a really good one and she pointed out that people often refer to them as 'FORTUNE TELLERS' she explained that this name / title is not what best describes them, that a clairvoyant is the correct title and some of them can contact the dead.

    This is not the kind of party I am going to we are not morbid and sadistic people we only wanted to hear a few things about our futures and see how much she can tell about our past.

    I have heard of so many people having this type of party and even some hotels have a day where you can call in and have a reading done. I really didn’t think it was weird thing to do until I posted here, but thanks for all your input, I’ll check it out somewhere else.

    You should go to the likes of "the house of astrology" near dublin castle and get the number for someone who does tarot cards, maybe that would suit you? It can be good craic for a party, i think people here did get the wrong idea but only because you said clairvoiant which is a different thing within reason.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7 shame


    Maybe I was being a bit naive, I honestly thought that people would cop on that it was readings that we wanted done not contact the dead. Jesus do people have this sort of things for parties? I can understand a private consultation to contact a deceased loved one but not a party !! Anyway thanks I’ll try to be a bit more explanatory in my post.

    I'd kind of disagree with you here. While I don't think anyone psychic/empathic/clairsentient should get into revealing personal info like this, if someone volunteers to have something like this done then they shouldn't really get so p***ed off over it. It was pretty obvious what was going to happen.

    At a party people have their guard down a bit, and maybe get into this stuff where they wouldnt normally. The onus is on the person doing the reading to keep a cool head, and edit where they think they may embarrass someone. Unfortunately not all people do this, and end up causing hassle. (Confess to doing a reading once while slightly drunk and lets just say it wont be repeated)

    I agree that the alter ego person shouldn't have been drawn into doing what they did, I don't think it's right for psychics or anyone else to go around revealing personal details about others. I'm generally pretty good at reading between the lines when people are holding things back (not sure if it's a psychic thing or not, I don't really think it is) and I certainly wouldn't do it. On the other hand if I volunteered to be read, especially if I wasn't the first person to do it and it was quite clear the kind of embarrassing personal things being revealed, I don't think I'd have much right to get pissed off with the reader, and certainly not to the point of hitting them.

    Well, I'm never going to hire you anyway, you'd probably dig up the most embarrassing thing possible just to teach me a lesson :p


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,999 ✭✭✭solas


    you just reminded me why I got out of the game in the first place.
    Seriously, I think there are better ways of learning lessons, for the most part I think psychics shouldn't be in a position to judge or determine the outcome either way. If that makes sense.
    Being empathic used to serve a purpose, especially when dealing with people who were grieving or needed a compassionate ear, I never used it as a tool to use against someone for my own benefit. I think thats how it should be.


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 9,689 Mod ✭✭✭✭stevenmu


    Well, I was only joking, but good point anyway. I don't think it just applies to psychic-y stuff though, people always have to learn stuff for themselves

    If you are using psychic ability to boost your own ego or score points for getting things right, your probably in the wrong game, or will end up on tv:rolleyes: Its all about compassion, and healing.

    I know it's slightly off topic and crossing with your other post about celebs but seemingly, it's how the big boy's play and why I found it so disappointing. I'm not sure if it comes down to having to be a shrewd business head but I reecognise those who make it to the top of the ladder have a tendency to climb over everyone else to get there.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,247 ✭✭✭✭6th


    Yeah just thought i'd support boards a bit with some cash, well worth it.

    Thats true for pretty much every career ladder. Ill be the first to admit its an ego trip, (when it works, that is) and you need to fight against that, or it can warp your personality. (No smartness please :rolleyes: ) It makes me question the motivation of those who are well known.

    6th Admit it you did it to see whats going on in sex and sexuality :D


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 9,689 Mod ✭✭✭✭stevenmu


    The odd thing is that there shouldn't really be any need to squish the little people to get to the top. In some markets where it has reached saturation and competition is fierce, smacking down the competition makes good business sense, but I don't think the market for pyschics, mediums etc has gotten to that stage yet, there's still room for plenty more.

    I can only conclude that whatever personality traits drive them to reach the top, mostly likely a deep insecurity, also drives them to put other people down. I'd guess that insecurity is the reason many of them even got into the whole psychic/medium area in the first place, just for the ego boost Katie mentions.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,999 ✭✭✭solas


    I've no doubt they were genuinely motivated to begin with but the folk I've met over the last three years or so (authors, tv personas and general guru's) are so caught up in themselves that there is little room to care about anybody else and they have developed their own set of ethics.
    As I've said before, with fame comes an amount of exposure and ultimately a vulnerability, to counter this requires a great deal of seal determination and conviction, consequently, there's a whole lot of celebs walking around with a messianic complex. :)

    I recall being told on one occasion to "be thankful for those you have stepped over to get to where you are now." (ie:those who would keep you down)

    Agreed, but I suppose to be fair not all psychics in the public eye are egomaniacs. Just a lot of the ones we see... And there are so many quietly working for little or nothing outside of celebrity, who are quite happy and secure in themselves and dont need to crow about it.
