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.

Spain and Gibraltar April 2009

Just returned from 10 days in Spain and Gibraltar having had a really great time even if the schedule was somewhat punishing at times!!
With 40ish 1-2-1's, 2 dems, a workshop, healing sessions and tutorials all done I finally landed back in the UK midnight on Wednesday evening. As always the people out there are so embracing of all things Spiritual so it's easy for Spirit to work well and as always it's nice to see old friends and new.
The sun actually came out and stayed out this time which was a miracle in the making!
Now I am looking forward to going out again in 2010 and big thanks to Frankie and Lourdes for putting in the time to organise such a busy schedule.

The main question now for me has to be 'How do I live without Tapas until then?' :) x
