Too bad none of you speak Serb.
There's this guy in Serbia, a psycic hotline and people ask him to cure their problems and luift curses and he just makes a fool of them.
One time this poor fellow called his chickens are dying and he told him to go to the kitchen and break an egg on his head and a moment later a loud crack of an egg braking was heard trough the line.
He's been sued a dozen times but he's still making money of it.

Wishful thinking?....a wired in desire to believe in something bigger?....vulnerable to suggestion moments?...perhaps reality is too mundane? It's hard to say. Psychics, UFOs, Bigfoot, ghost hunters, spoon-benders..all this rubbish just recycles and recycles generation after generation despite the fact that none of it ever pans out to a feasible scientific conclusion. I find it amusing that we seem to go through an impending "End of the World" event every few years. When the moment passes and we're all still here, it seems to have no effect on certain people breathlessly lining up for the next apocalyptic claptrap prediction.

I remember an incident long ago here in the US. The stars of a certain soap opera were doing an autograph signing, when the actress who played a particularly nasty character was approached by a fan who started demanding to know why she was so mean to the fan's favorite characters. It took more than a bit of "I'm not her! I just play her on television!" to get the woman calmed down.

Too funny. His cheesy headgear and robes remind me of Johnny Carson doing his Carnac the Magnificent psychic spoof.

He might have used Johnny as inspiration.

Just went to youtube for some Milan Tarot and one woman called her daughter can't find a boyfriend and he told her to draw hearts with ketchup on the floor of every room in her house.
