“Psychic Medium” John Edward’s Deceptive Language Tricks (This Is Cringey)

By analyzing John Edward’s “audience readings”, this video reveals some of the most important and deceptive language tricks that self-proclaimed psychic mediums use to make audiences believe that they have supernatural abilities.
More context to the video: Prior to the first “reading”, the relative has reminded John that she has been to one of his shows a year ago, and she has told him about her son. John has said that he’s ‘not feeling him’, but two minutes later, this “mysteriously” changes.

The thing I've learned from watching all these pyschics is that the dead really have a hard time anunciating their entire name. The dead pronounce the first letter, but then they just can't spit out the rest. I guess vocal cords aren't used much in the afterlife, therefore speech gets muddled.

This fellow, John Edward, is touted as the royalty of mediums and I'm so pleased to watch this video. A lot of people are looking for answers, given the state of the world today, but you are doing a great job of being constructive and factual, Martin. Thank you so much!

There is an entire South Park AND John Oliver episode on this for reference, and still people fall for this shit.

Wouldn’t it just be easier for the ghost to say “lemon meringue pie”?!?!?!?

I've had loads of medium readings and all have been so incredibly generic and vague. Why? Because there's absolutely nothing to see on my Facebook page so they can't hot read me.

My readings have pretty much gone:

Oh your grandad is here,
Who is the male who died of a heart attack or heart issues? I'm sure we all know a few.

Who is the lady who died of cancer?
Again we all know a few.

Who had the miscarriage?
Again miscarriages are so incredibly common that we all know a few.

You've kept some of their clothes,
You sleep with something of theirs.

You're getting memorial bears or jewellery made.

Whose getting the tattoo in memory?

Are you thinking about moving?
I'm seeing keys, maybe new house or car.

There's been disagreements in the family.

You've got a ring / necklace of your mams/ a watch of your dad's.

You've been thinking about a trip or holiday . You should go.

Are you decorating? Making home improvements?

Has someone recently been for an eye test or blood tests?

Throw in some common names like Margaret, Lynn, David, Anthony/Tony

I'm sure I would have had much better "readings" if my Facebook was full of information though.

You’d have to be a total sociopath to do this, I wonder if he has convinced himself he can speak to the dead or he knows he’s bullshitting ?

[GODZILLA]

One day I want to see a bunch of skeptics attend one of these and just bait the guy like crazy.

Really appreciate you taking the time to produce all of your videos.

Tyler Henry said that Boy George made him uncomfortable because he didnt give any validations to his comments and questions. My rule is quite easy: if you say you're a medium who communes with the dead then you need to tell me - not ask - or you're a liar. I have never seen one so-called medium who doesn't ask questions. That's an enormous problem. I simply don't believe the dead come through to tell anyone anything via a stranger - particularly a shill like Edward and Henry, et.al.

John Edwards might have had an earpiece to feed him information. EDIT: He obviously does not! He’s terrible!!!

John edwards worst nightmare: Martin decoder in the front row 😂😅

[kongvinter]

I just once want to hear a medium say something like" oh Im talking to your husband, he is glad he is dead and dont have to listen to your shit anymore, and he also says he cheated on you with the neighbor. the son that is.." something like that.

[rvrotter]

I saw John Edward several years ago and he actually got nasty with an audience member who didn’t give him what he wanted when he used the ‘pressure’ technique.

[shitsakrabeen]

Oh My! My grandmother DID die at an old age. AND she cooked a lot. This is simply incredible. AND she liked food and a good laugh. This man is truly a gift from God.

[beefsuprem]

It's curious how the deceased can communicate with a "medium" but not precisely. Just vaguely and the "medium" has to coax the answer from his mark. 😂

[mckster]

He is creepy and someone whose name starts with a j or m agrees with me. :)

[Angela-czqz]

I just discovered your channel today and I am so happy. This one is so close to what I thought about this guy, didn't know how he was doing it. Thank you so much.

[judytaylor]

I have a daughter who has mental issues and is childless. A “medium” told her she had a miscarriage in her youth and now she is grieving over this lost child. Disgusting!

[LizbetPCB]

These frauds disgust me. I have one relative who buys his BS and follows a few other well known ‘psychic mediums’. There’s no point whatsoever of attempting to dissuade her. It’s really sad, and she’s so vulnerable.
Thank you, Martin.

Hilarious how the dead like to hint at things, but never come right out with it.🤪 " when the need to believe increases, the ability to see truth decreases.
