Didn't Uri Geller claim to have special powers ?
Now he claims to be a mystical entertainer with no supernatural powers.
If you're raking in loads of money they you will vigourously defend your claims until you are caught.
Some people may even believe the claims they make.
And I'm not picking fights here but Derren lies as much as any psychic, he spouts about hypnosis and NLP but any performer can see straight through alot of his act and know how he did what he did. But he provides people with an escape from normal life.
I feel that if people want to believe that Sally can talk to the dead and are happy to pay for her service/entertainment then I see no problems with that.
There are out and out shams in the psychic world that are not good people and should never be alowed out in public let alone performing (I was discussing one with a friend yesterday, she did not comfort her audience, she upset them.) But you can look at any service and say the same thing.
There will always be people that want to scam other people and take the easy path through life, I don't see Sally as one of these people. She is not trying to harm people just let them know that everything is ok, that is all anyone ever want's to hear in life. Some people get it through seeing a professional and others through psychics and medium.
Yes she has earned alot of money but I'm guessing she has worked hard to get to where she is. Good for her.
I have seen many mediums and everyone they helped went away happy and had a great night at same time so job done I believe.
And Freddie she is a great entertainer, to be able to hold an audience for hours with no props is amazing.
And Dale/Paul I was thinking the same thing about it being like Pure Q&A, it is the way alot of people have done it over the years.
