Long Island Medium?

Her live shows are a lot less convincing than her recorded ones. I recall seeing her in an audience, saying "someone here had a family member who died", and then she looked around the room. She pointed at someone and he said no, noone died recently. But then a girl in tears somewhere else in the audience said that she had a recently departed family member. Keep in mind this was a fairly large audience and chances are several of them attended knowing that she might contact the dead for them to bring messages of dearly departed- there are only so many reasons to visit a medium. What she was looking for was so broad and she didn't even get it right the first time, so I became pretty unimpressed with her as far as "is it real or fake" goes. I'm pretty sure that its mostly a dramatic reality tv show and that is fine for what it is.

That's a part of Cold Reading, as I mentioned earlier.

And not even well done, as far as I can tell.

Totally fake, like John Edwards and Sylvia Brown
And the rest of them!What they dont show You is the edited cuts of the show, all of what they got wrong
What they dont mention is that every audience member is asked to sign a gag order before being allowd to sit and watch
And many other aspect's. The research is all to be found in google and evemn youtube im sure has videos debunking these fakes
