Subject: Re: do John Edward and Collin Fry use cold reading???
See, all this skeptisism people have is exactly what I felt when I
saw John Edward after a while. But then I watched Collin Fry, he is a
whole different ball game, all the theories about mediums talking
quick and getting a 'hit' somewhere during the period where they talk
quick just cannot apply to Collin Fry. I just cant see him being a
fraud, the information or 'validations' as he calls them are such
that you cant find in records, family trees, the net etc. Its far too
specific, the only way to have gotten it is from family relatives
whom the shows investigators would have had to have bribed. And if
you have a fair amount of people working on a show based around a
fraud, one of them is going to speak out, and they have'nt-apart from
James Van Praag, even then the person believed him in some ways. If
you watch the shows rather then look at websites which will often
have crappy claims you'll begin to understand what I mean. I dont
100% believe it, but its a close call.
