But if they act as a medium for a medium then they are false squared :) <em>Ray's last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/lostaddress/EaHL/~3/266639089/' rel="nofollow">Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2007</a></em> As far as I am concerned, they are all false - using cold and hot reading techniques and using the Forer Effect.

That's often the argument a medium will give "the public needs protection from fake mediums not real ones like me". Now, every medium is a fake until they can prove otherwise. <em>Ray's last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/lostaddress/EaHL/~3/266639089/' rel="nofollow">Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2007</a></em> Absolutely.

Finally, mediums, psychics, gurus and the rest will find that the burden of proof is now on them rather than everyone else.

Preying on vulnerable people for cash (or not for cash) is just not cool.
