Mark Edward's Sceptic Tell All Book About the Psychic Industry - Vine's Response


How to peel a banana - Mark Edward's demonstration - psychic profiling

Mark Edward's new book about the Psychic Industry definitely places the spotlight on the psychic industry as a whole. But does it really allow the reader to make their own opinion about the psychic industry, or does it push the skeptics association's agenda - to label all psychics and mediums as charlatans? It is certainly a well orchestrated attempt by Mr Edwards to discredit all spiritualists and empaths. 

The above video was selected from a YouTube site and shows him profiling a member of the audience by watching them peel a banana. He watches a lady gently peel a banana and therefore concludes that she falls into a particular personality category. The inference being that all psychics simply pick up on body language and mannerisms and then, as he himself goes on to do, give her a vague enough explanation of her personality that she might be able to relate to some of it, even though she probably peels a banana differently when the lights and cameras aren't pointing at her. He then looks at the way she reacts and runs with that. 

This is an interesting and skillful trick as far as it goes, and quite harmless if you're not pretending to be something that you're not. It is also a good explanation of how someone trying to scam you might act.

I conduct my face to face readings with my eyes closed, and I hold a metallic object that my client has brought with them so I can spiritually/energetically tune into their vibrational frequency and issues. My eyes are never open during a personal reading and my clients rarely peel bananas. To use banana peeling to imply that psychics use body mannerisms to profile their customers, is a trick in itself. This is not how psychics work, this is how psychic scammers work and Mr Edwards should know because by his own admission he participated in psychic scams for 9 years.

Mark Edwards has released his new book called 'Psychic Blues' a complete expose about the psychic line industry. He convinced a business to sub-contract him as a psychic. For nine years he was paid to conduct psychic readings. Now he has written a book about his personal experiences and some of the tricks he used when he misrepresented himself as a psychic. 

He justifies his tricks by claiming that he gave his customers what they want, someone to talk to. But he deliberately misrepresented his skills and qualifications and listened to his client's confidences without being spiritually equipped to deal with these issues. 
True psychics do not misrepresent themselves, nor do they claim to know anything about their clients. It is Spirit that knows - the psychic is the conduit.

Clients often call about serious emotional issues - missing persons, grieving the loss of loved ones etc., and they often need specialized spiritual assistance that only Spirit can give. Psychic scammers like Mark Edwards who only pretend to have a connection with Spirit, can do more harm than good. Did he really consider the needs of his clients or was he simply trying to make money out of them, and to prove a point about the psychic industry?

If you have read some of my earlier articles in this blog about the psychic industry, you will know that I don't come singing the psychic industry's praises. There are people in this industry who have seen a cash cow and milked it for all it is worth, but there are also genuine spiritualists, psychics and mediums who have a natural gift and who have dedicated their lives to working in the spiritual field and helping others. These people are not making huge amounts of money, some of them are barely making ends meet. They have natural spiritual gifts and are able to assist people recover from severe hardships and anxieties.

Before paying $45 to read a tell-all book about the psychic industry, think about whether Mark Edwards previous customers should now be demanding their money back, because he now claims he never was psychic?

These particular skeptics pretend they are interested in consumer's well-fare, but like psychic scammers they too are keen to make as much money as they can.

Perhaps government regulation of the psychic industry is necessary to stop people being ripped-off by skeptics, psychologists, counselors, life coaches who pretend to be psychic, and scammers like Mark Edwards was for 9 years.

The unsuspecting customer is a pawn in games of power and greed.
A true psychic does not play these games - you'll know when you find one.

They should go to the nearest court and demand the money back.
You are meant to get what you pay for otherwise it's false advertizing
