Comedian sets out to debunk fortune tellers

Psychics can be found in all corners of the globe, or, at least people who claim to be psychic can.

Noticing the large number of street front shops offering psychic readings in Manhattan in the US, Elite Daily dispatched professional comedian Tyler Fischer to see what would happen if he asked every psychic he could find the same questions.

You don’t need to be psychic to predict how that turned out.

Wildly different answers were forthcoming, predicting everything from marriage to adoption, and a life expectancy which could apparently vary by anywhere from 10 to 20 years.

To be fair to the psychics, only one claimed to be able to predict the weather and even she admitted her credibility there was probably damaged because she’d watched the weather report on the news that morning as well.

Of course, if they really were psychic wouldn’t they know they were being recorded?

“Is someone recording this right now?” One asked. “I keep picking up like, frequency...”

Wait… What?
