ok guys, its called cold reading, and anyone can do it, u pick common names, hoping that some1 in the room knows som1 with that name who has passed away, then they say other very loose things, like they want me to ask u about som1 they left behind....starting with a..."insert letter here" chances are they left SOMEBODY behind with that letter....etc.

I dont see the method afterwards. anyone can throw out a fact and hook anyone in the audience but what about when they are coming down to details one on one? Are we going to stack it up to lucky guesses all the way? Or are we having audience members being just as guilty nodding thier heads to things they know is crap?

Going to google isnt going to give me the insight that Mr. Brown has the whole mass of mediums down pat.

He doesn't do or say anything different to what a medium does - that's the point. You know he knows nothing about these people when he walks in. He makes the audience give up their information, he doesn't come up with it himself.

Just use any common name till you get a hit, then work on common events/circumstances that occur to most people to make it fit. There is nothing that he says that actually delivers any information regarding their dead loved ones.

"This is someone you didn't connect with..." etc would fit most of the population regarding parents who have died. Especially if it was recent and you felt you had unfinished business with them, which is natural.

You don't need a stooge when you've got gullible people to make the whole story for you, and it doesn't always work - see the clip on this site about the stupid medium who tells this woman her husband died drowning when he actually died in the 9/11 fires.

Yay my first post!! Hi to all you clip addicts :)
