All smoke and mirrors. Ever hear of a guy in the UK called Derren Brown? To watch him you'd think he had 'the gift' but he goes on to say that all psychics are a sham, and lays into them for building up people's hopes, and preying on the weak.
This is the guy who rang a phone box that was being filmed, answered by various passers-by, spoke to them and made them collapse - all through the telephone. Completely random people. How'd he do that? He's an extremely gifted - not 'has the gift' psychologist I guess you could call him, he knows exactly how to make certain people do whatever he tells them. It's fucking freaky lol.
He explained a little of why the phone-box trick worked - people who would answer a random phone while about their daily business suggests they are more open to mental persuasion.
I'll see if I can find a couple links, and if you ever get a chance to see his shows - they will blow you away!
And I agree with Sparky on those predictions - too broad, too heavily weighted already in favour of what he 'predicted'.
