A little info on our new MH pyschic.... Gordon Smith is an astoundingly accurate medium. He is renowned for his ability to give exact names of people, places and even streets. The seventh son of a seventh son, Gordon travels around the world to appear before audiences, read for celebrities and demonstrate his abilities, but his feet have remained firmly on the ground. Gordon’s extraordinary skills have attracted the attention of university scientists researching the paranormal and countless numbers of journalists and documentary makers www.thepsychicbarber.co.uk/

Oh thanks! I saw him interviewed in a program about seances that was on a few weeks ago, and was impressed by his knowledge and what he had to say!

Mate, when your possibly, thats possibly conning people out of money, then yes, you do have to prove your abilities.

Can I just say that Gordon Smith dosnt con any one out of money. Then let him prove me wrong. Oh no sorry, he can't can he, as he says he doesn't need to prove himself to sceptics. And he's said this in an aggrogantly, defensive way. In my eyes, thats the behaviour of someone who has something to hide. But I could be wrong.

You could also be so right Joey. ;D
If any medium says they dont need to prove themselves then I agree with Joey....they should.
Why not?
If they are so accurate then they could show the world that its true and they can really communicate with the dead.
Still,lets give Gordon a chance...he might surprise us.

If they are so accurate then they could show the world that its true and they can really communicate with the dead. Still,lets give Gordon a chance...he might surprise us. I'm in shock! Someone on this forum agreed with me Only problem with giving him a chance is TV is great for editing out what you don't want people to see. For example and experiment was done on a show that was exposing fake mediumship. The said woman on it did her piece and she was really accurate. She picked up on a guys dead mum. Then they aired the unedited footage. She spoke to the audience before hand and asked who they wanted to contact etc etc. She got to the bloke who wanted to contact his dead mum and asked him "Who are you interested in contacting?" and of course he replied his dead mum. And on the edited footage we see her, supposedly being in contact with a spirit and then making out it was the blokes mum, doing it in a way as if she didn't know thats who he wanted to contact. Best one was another guy they had on. He was super accurate to. Then at the end of his piece he confessed. He's not a Medium at all but an ex-medium. He's an ex because he realised it is all just about conning the gullible. He said what I've just done for you is all about hot and cold reading and it makes me look super accurate. Trouble is, people are so upset or not mentally sound normally when they go to a Medium, so they just make things fit. And it then makes the person look super accurate.

Ive been to a couple of live audience with medium events and well how can they no the little things that you cant read from a persons face or reactions unless all the persons that get picked out are planted beforehand I cant see how it would be a con. Im gonna stay open minded on this, from what ive seen of The Psychic Barber on TV he seems pretty good but like you say that was pre-recorded and edited . . . so how can we know . . I dont think we would ever be 100% certain unless we were told something personally or saw something for real. Ive never seen a ghost (I dont think) and ive never had a reading yet I think I'm more of a believer than not. I cant wait to see the new guy on Most Haunted I think it will make a difference.

:rolleyes: Joey it sounds as if you've already made up your mind about him before you've even seen him in action - maybe your one of the sceptics that he "doesnt need" to prove himself to because he knows that no amount of proof would be enough for you. I'd never even heard of him before it was anounced that he would be Dereks replacement but wouldnt it be better to reserve judgment and give the guy a chance until we've seen how he works

I'd never even heard of him before it was anounced that he would be Dereks replacement but wouldnt it be better to reserve judgment and give the guy a chance until we've seen how he works Ah but I have seen him before. I watched a whole documentry on him. This is the documentry where he said, in a defensive way, that he doesn't have to prove himself to sceptics. When he said that it did, in my eyes, look like he had something to hide. When your accepting money of people for a questionable act, then I'm afraid yes you do have to prove yourself. If your truely not conning people, whats the problem? Why get all defensive? And nope I'm not one of those sceptics where no proof is enough. infact I don't even believe sceptics are like that. If a Medium or ghosthunter gave give me 100% proof that can be tested, retested and tested some more then I'd admit I'm wrong. And quite frankly, Derek's saying is offensive to sceptics and believers alike when he says "For a believer no proof is necessary. For a sceptic no proof is enough". Now saying a believer needs no proof is basically calling them fools who will follow and believe anything no matter what despite the proof to the contrary. And I don't believe, believers are like this at all. I believe they need proof as much as anyone else. And saying sceptics are so closed minded that no proof for them is enough is also offensive. A true sceptic is open minded in their nature otherwise they wouldn't be a sceptic. Show me the proof of Gordon or Derek speaking to the dead, clear evidence and I'd agree I was wrong. But again, Gordon is incapable of doing that as he says he doesn't need to prove himself to sceptics.

***I'm in shock! Someone on this forum agreed with me *** Being a sceptic I would agree with some of your comments. ;D As to Gordon...well like any other medium,I just dont believe any of them can communicate with the dead. That does not mean he cant,just I dont believe it. Hopefully one day a medium can astound me by giving me an off the cuff reading that includes the codewords my family and I have for just that event. Somehow I doubt I will ever hear them but never say never. ;D
