Summary: James Randi poses as Adam Jersin with a gypsy fortune teller. At the beginning of the video Randi enters the room and while walking to his seat he fakes some lower back pain. Once he sits down the reader asks him to shuffle the cards. Randi does so but in a fumbling manner. Once the reading begins the reader mentions a woman that Randi is involved with and then another woman in his future. Randi does a great job of leading the reader by feeding her questions that she may then elaborate on, trying to make them fit with the reading.

Wow. In light of recent declarations by Mr. Randi, I'd have to say this woman was dead on!

One point. written by danieljref,

I must give this woman one point. Even though CLEARLY indicating a back pain, the woman did not point this out at any time. For someone deemed as a con artist that reacts to what is shown to her, I find this somewhat relevant. Did she know it was fake or did the cards told her that?

No, just kidding, the woman is really bad at this. Hard to believe people actually believe these things.

It's not necessary to identify the fortune teller's ethnic background - Sylvia Browne and Uri Geller aren't described by Randi as Jewish psychics. While it's true that Roma tell fortunes, many fortune tellers identify themselves as gypsies whether they are ones or not.

So where's the video that shows the psychic predicting to an in cognito Randi that he will become the Republican Party's new head of Alternative and Complementary Medicine Department?
