Do most psychics know that they are being dishonest?
Almost all psychics use a method called cold reading, where they use visual clues from the person they are giving a reading to and very vague statements in order to make people think that they can tell the future or talk to the dead. Do you think most psychics know that they are using cold reading and are being dishonest? Or do you think that they are so naturally good at cold reading that they think that they are really psychic?

Oh no, they know how well they’re cheating you of your money.

Do most Christians know that they are being dishonest? By that I mean, do they realize that they’re lying to themselves?

No, I think some genuinely feel they have a “gift” and they are probably very observant and intuitive by nature. If you really watch and listen, it is amazing how much you can learn about a person in a short amount of time.
But most are conscious frauds, yes, I believe so.
What they ALL are, is “wrong” most of the time.

I think they are so good at reading people and figuring outcomes that they honestly believe they are psychic.

You do realise that 99% of actual psychic people don’t even use it as a money earning tool?

It’s an interesting question. I suspect that many of them genuinely believe they are psychic, especially the ones who use some kind of prop like tarot cards or tea leaves, because they feel they are using their instincts (ie cold reading) to interpret a genuine psychic message. Of course many of them do know know that they aren’t psychic, especially the ones who do it professionally, but people are as good at deceiving themselves as they are at deceiving other people.
And knowing that it’s fake doesn’t even mean the psychic is a bad person or ripping people off- she may believe that she’s giving people sound information and advice. After all, a good cold reader can you give you some great insights into yourself, since she can tell what you want or fear even better than you yourself can.

Why don’t you get a reading yourself for free and find out your own answer. Do not reveal any information from yourself and just say yes and no. There are some fakes, but indeed there are many genuine gifted psychic mediums.
