I went to see Pete in Winsford last year on a Groupon deal, I thought he was ok so I then went for a private reading which was really interesting. All the future predictions have, so far, been nonsense but he was very accurate on historical info. I don't do twitter/gumtree/spacebook/myface or any social media sites and I'm also not local to the area so not sure where his info came from but it was interesting.
My friend who came with me was given her money back as he said he couldn't read for her.

Would love to know more details of your reading brokenbiscuits if at all possible? Its been proven time and time again to me here and elsewhere that cold/hot reading can sound very accurate but when broken down, is actually very ambiguous and could apply to many. I've said before that I had a reading where things were said like 'he wasn't a tall man was he' (said slightly more as a question than a statement) , if I said no, she would say 'I thought not', if I had said yes, she would say 'yes, I thought he was' etc making herself sound very accurate.

Whilst there was a bit ofthe usual waffle, big/small/blue eyes/brown hair/tall/short etc, he gave me my grandmothers name (Ethel) and the fact that my grandfather, her husband, had killed her and how. This was a squizillion years ago before I was born and in a different country so not something easily found out. He told me how my mum and brother were killed in separate incidents, also not widely reported and in two different countries. There was some quite personal stuff about my family (what's left of them) dynamics which made me nearly fall of my chair. I was quite impressed.

Hi, Do you have a recording? If you have I can guarantee you 100% that I can show you how he did it. Every single step, I can show you.
Unfortunately without a recording we can only rely on your personal recollection of the reading, and as you may know eye witness accounts are the LOWEST form of evidence in a court of law, due to the very fallible human memory.
You admit that he came out with a lot of waffle, so ask yourself, on the grand scheme of things, you have to look at things as a whole, as say if he was real, why would he get things wrong, why would he be vague?
It sounds like a classic cold read, through things out, watch your response, and tailor his reading around your body language, your facial expressions.
As for the name Ethel, lets put that in context. Ethel is an incredibly popular name, for the age range he was guessing at. In my Nans home there are 3 Ethels. So we can say that it was a fair guess. I am also assuming he never said he surname or maiden name, that would have been much much more impressive.
As for the nature of her sad death, again I have the feeling he fished most of this info from you using various psychological techniques. In English he asked your questions in a certain format that would allow him to route the reading to his advantage. Again if I had a recording I could show you step by step how he did it.

I did have but I'm not sure where it is, if I find it, you can have it with pleasure. To be honest, as I say, I'm not an avid follower it's just something I do if I see an ad and I'm at a loose end. I don't disagree with anything you say but I just thought he was more accurate than some I've seen. It's easy for me to say I didn't give him any info but I'm sure that's how it's supposed to be. I don't have any plans to return. I feel sorry for these people who get so caught up in it all that they spend ££££££££'s and don't get out of bed without ringing a psychic.

If you can find that recording and somehow digitize it, then we can really do some investigative work and see what techniques he uses. I like doing things like that as by breaking these things down, it helps other people learn the techniques and makes it easier to spot them in the future. Also if people search for this psychics name on google, they can find my analysis, read it and make up their own mind if they want to spend money on them.
Hope you can find it. And you never know, if I cant explain how he does it, then that will be even more interesting! Yet to find a psychic I couldn't explain, so that would be a great challenge.

To me this is very telling. Why couldn't he read for her? Was it because she arrived unannounced and he had no time to research her? Or was her attitude too balanced and unforthcoming for the psychic to 'pull' any info out of her? Surely, a genuine psychic should be able to do a reading for anyone at any time!

Often psychics have struggled to read for me, because although I sit in an open fashion, (no crossed arms or legs), its hard to judge my ethnicity, so hard to guess certain names from generations above me etc, I also give very very little away in facial expressions etc

She ws prebooked at the same time as mine was. Can't remember exactly what was said on why he couldn't.
These con-artists don't just turn away money for no reason. As Jon says, some people just can't be read. To see a handful of cash walking out the door must have hurt.
