One interesting thing I noticed was how they blurred out other family members on the photos they showed, I wonder if its only his mom who believes in him and the rest know what he is really upto

Well, no son can do wrong in his mothers eyes but brothers can indeed commit cardinal sins in the eyes of other siblings. Perhaps mum still sees Gary as 'going through a phase' and is sticking by him for purely parental protective reasons. IMO Gary Mannion, knowing the amount of media attention he's now getting is probably savvy enough to have an astute accountant who knows that the eyes of tax man and robbin (the VAT) are looking at him quite closely. No doubt the accountant will probably be advising him accordingly in order to minimise his tax/vat liability. However as Jigsaw says, he should probably be giving out VAT receipts as he's undoubtably earning above the vat threshold but I suspect he's not been doing that as it takes his 'powers' one step away from the esoteric and one step closer to reality and 'da man'.

At that point Gary did look like a little giggling schoolboy. Very immature guy.

your obviously narrow minded and lack the ability to accept other possibilities outside your small little dilusional world, leave writing to people not brick walls.

Why Mate....can't you read?.......i found the bio-doc about Manny Boy lHILARIOUS!!.....OBVIOUSLY YOU LOT ON THIS SITE TAKE HIM SERIOUS....get a life!!! We take him seriously in that he is behaving in a fraudulent manner.No he won't. If Bad Psychics had ignored him he would still be claiming to cure cancer therefore putting more lives at risk.We "advertise" their deceit. People claiming to speak to the dead or heal in a paranormal fashion for money are conning people. Bad Psychics is based on facts.Good luck with your projectWe are not here to particularly inspire comedy songs.If you do return perhaps you could explain how we talk the same language as the people we expose. So basically you believe as we do that it's all a scam so why berate us for exposing the scams?

Hey Blackadder iam certainly not narrow minded my friend..the business iam in that would be a death sentence Buddy..dilusional??well ok i'm dilusional...as for writing..well it has gave me a good living so far..long may it continue...Amaris..now first off iam not defending this chappie MANNION...i was guided to this site after i watched that awful funny documentary..thinking..hmmn possibilities here for a comedy song...by the way Amaris,comedy songs are not pidgeonholed to any subject..anything or anyone is game..why should this subject, either for/against be any different..the writer decides..now first off,i reckon the people on here are all quite mentally Kosha...Why dedicate a full website to a delusional character like that boy Mannion...there are plenty more going around like him..give you a small example...about 3 years ago i was the resident pianist m.d. in a large nightclub nr Glasgow...the manager/owners decided to hold one of these "mystic nights"..the act was a guy called "The Great Scrodini"..his real name by the way was Alex Scroggie...first off large blackboard..blindfolded he wrote down all sorts of objects (which the audience called out)then done what he called .e.s.p....rhymed them all off..about 40 in total lets say...the audience called out a no. he told them the object written on the blackboard...then his assistant went into the audience...asked the people to take something from their purse/handbag etc...he would tell them what it was..keys,rings,telephone no's...names of objects ..an array of different articles...impressive stuff...still blindfolded by the way!...but sitting there on the "joanna" with nought to do ...it became obvious to me the clue was in the language of the "assistant" when she spoke to him...coded messages...eg "what am i holding here"..."tell me the colour" and!...yes!...ok!... i see.!.say it again?..every word was a code...very clever,and it must have taken a lot of practice to perfect the act...all it NEEDED was for one punter to hold something in their hand and NOT let the assistant hold it or see it,then ask Scrodini what the object was..he would be beat!...but being a 95% female audience...they have a different mindset dare i say..they were fascinated by the accuracy of his descriptions...then the 2nd half of the show was mind reading...the usual stuff...the punters more or less give the clues to the artist by the way he asks the questions...but he was good at what he does...but thats showbusiness...my usual relaxation after my gigging nights at that time was to drop into the local casino for a coffee etc,just to unwind..who walks in "Scrodini"..playing the Roulette tables...i said ok Alex...see that ball that is spinning..i have a £5 here.is it going to be red or black?...."how do i know " he replied....i said you have been telling the future all night...and you can't give me an even money chance...he laughed as he walked away....but that is showbusiness he said...my point is this..these punters like Mannion and i see another few names like Edwards,or Acora or whatever...they are all born with a large brass neck,and THEY are delusional....if you talk to God it is called praying..if God talks to you ..it is mental illness...no amount of publicity whether good or bad will stop them...there are victims born every day..what about yer Man "Jimmy Swaggert" the yankee evangelist..he got exposed big time for fraud..God couldn't stop him getting the jail...guess what he his doing now...he is back on the circuit...preaching the "word"...and the yanks are dipping into their pockets big time,at his behest..once they get a taste of "easy money" they are out the traps like a scalded cat..they are a runaway train...they will tell you anything,and they can justify everything...expose them all you want...you will never stop them..they are not on the same planet ...yes Amaris basically i do believe the same as you do that it is a scam..big time...but to dedicate a website to a retard like Mannion...i just think it is a wee touch O.T.T. By the way,just one last word on that documentary....Mannion's Girlfriend..or his supposedly ex-girlfriend....was she a "plant" or what....watch the body language from her...she was on the payroll....20 readings would cover it!...she wouldn't blow him a kiss down the phone!...this is just a wee example of the "ego" you are up against....Tommy k.

I find easy to read material no better in Content ..a fakes a fake whether they resolve to do it by the book or otherwise.. Most fakes material is neat and well laid out .. its a prats obsession and a weak line of argument to see anything in the way a person chooses to do it, other than its more satisfactory obviously if its well laid out...specially for publishing...but this is a forum. Very often people do it that way for a reason..we've seen what happens to fakes who thought otherwise..and may well do again actually.
I don't know who Tommy is

I find easy to read material no better in Content No, but it's a damn site easier to read! Incidentally, isn't there an informal theory linking paranormal belief with a propensity to write huge blocks of text without any paragraphs or punctuation (perhaps save for the odd full stop here and there)? I'm not referring to 'word salad' btw. I think there is but can't remember where I read about it. There certainly is a theory that believers in the paranormal have more difficulty with second-order theory of mind tasks like understanding sarcasm and irony. Like the quote on Gary Mannion's site: I'm sure his intended meaning is quite the opposite to that portrayed!

If you want people to read your message and understand your point, then communicate it clearly. It's that simple. No one expects perfect spelling and grammar on the internet, but an effort is appreciated.
And Jigsaw, you are right. There does seem to be an informal relationship between believers and appalling spelling and grammar. On their sites and forum posts.

Gary must be having a break from communicating with his 4,000 year old Jewish extra-terrestrial chum Abraham. The lad himself has just made a brief appearance over on UK-Skeptics!
