Magician V Medium Experiment

Taking part in this event gave me one of the most profound experiences in the time I have been working as a medium for many different reasons.

Organised by Fright Nights, Hosted by Ciaran O'keefe and held at The Dragon Hall Covent Garden this experiment between Magician Peter Campbell -Wells and myself was not so much a versus but more of a demonstration of how cold reading by Peter and mediumship by myself are two totally separate processes.

I admit to feeling under pressure (who wouldn't!) for the event but those who know me also know that I am always ready for a challenge and so when I was invited to demonstrate at the event I could not refuse..
For me the importance of this demonstration is something that very much needed to be achieved and shown because as we mediums know only too well, we are constantly thought to use 'Cold Reading' techniques in place of genuine mediumship.

Peter gave a good demonstration of 'tricks of the mind' which have been suggested over the years are techniques used by mediums and psychics, and then I gave a demonstration of mediumship which was challenging to say the least.
However it soon became clear that the arising challenges gave the opportunity for me to show that a cold reader would have simply fitted seemingly misplaced information to anyone willing to take it rather than let a connection go if the right recipient could not be found.

Feedback from the public and the organisers clearly indicated that the afternoon had been a success in separating the two processes which was a great result. I am so pleased to have been a part of the experiment.
