Ok, I am a very sceptible person and I’ve been hearing lately about these people, and it got me interested, if someone here is a claivoiant, can they tell me what to expect, and who is ‘around’ me or whatever, in any case if you are, prove it, too me.

I will not give you any hint of my past whatso ever, and you can’t use what I’ve posted on the Boards, thats how i’ll know u’ve cheated.  
Regards,  
Ryan\_Liam

I’m seeing an “r” in clairvoiant.

I’m getting the impression that you are near water.  
Either a lake or a river, possibly a toilet.

Don’t you think if there were clairvoyant people out there, that they would have already contacted you before you made this post?😃

I am getting the strong feeling that you live in the U.K. . . . England . . . and that you’ve been here since Nov. 2002. And that you are in dire need of a dictionary. I can guarantee you, as I’ve seen it in a vision, that if you go to your local bookstore, that you will find a Merriam-Webster dictionary . . . I see you at the checkout paying for it . . . and then leaving the store. It’s all very clear to me.

Ok, no jokes, even though you may think it is, I just want to clarify if someone can actually do it…🙂

So you’re looking for a psychic that doesn’t use cold reading or other ‘techniques’… hmmm…

If someone can do it, they have a million dollars waiting for them from James Randi. All they have to do is prove it.

But I have a feeling again that he will be holding on to that million for a long, long time. Maybe that means I really am clairvoyant!

A clairvoyant needs some sort of tangible contact or something belonging to you before they can work.  
Preferably a wad of your cash.

I sense that someone very close to you is ill, or going through a turbulent time. I see _you_ having to make a very difficult decision that will impact the outcome of this person’s debacle.

I also see a trip in your future - you will fly, but I don’t perceive you travelling over a _large_ body of water, although water figures prominently into this vision somehow.

And I sense sadness, so you will have to be _very_ strong.

Good luck.

I feel that you’ve been a little TOO close to the monitor.

Scoot back, please.

It’s emissions are disturbing your aura.

Sounds like you meant **su** sceptible.

**Ryan** dear, you chose the wrong group of people to ask this question… See the slogan.

Nice to hear from you again **Ryan** , no one has come up with any reliable evidence that clairvoyance exists, so it is probalby a scam using the sorts of suggestive (but behind the suggestion meaningless) phrasing as shown in the above posts to confuse people into believing the clairvoyant has a power worth paying money for.  
Can anyone post the James Randi sceptics website for **Ryan**.

Cheers, Bippy

Sorry if I was harsh, **Ryan**. I need to take a lesson from the **Bipp** meister.
