Harry Houdini was a famous magician who became a debunker of mediums later in life and, indeed, even in death, because he left a ten-word passphrase with his wife that a medium should say in order to prove they were channelling him. Although many people did claim to channel Houdini, no-one was able to reproduce the passphrase.
Hi Lorrie,
Like fortune tellers I dont personally believe in them but for the sake of argument lets say Im wrong and that the previous (albeit funny) posters are too, my main concern about this would be the amount of con artists out there taking advantage of people in a vulnerable state hoping to speak to someone they lost. For every one "real" medium would there be millions of chancers? Who knows. If someone I knew asked my advice on this, I think I would try to explore why they want to do this before they throw good money away. Is it part of a grieving process? Are there other alternatives (hard I know)? Is it to find out where the coupon drawer is? etc

They are obviously not completely level headed if they believe that this actually happened.two completely level headed people who were telling me about how they made contact with a dead relative.
I have heard of a medium in Tallaght who will only see people in groups of 12 - apparently 12 is a magic number for talking to dead people. Last I heard she was charging 60 a head for this - nice money if you can get it!
