I'd probably say it's a far bit skeptical, but you never know. Things in life are crazy and sometimes unexplainable.

I do not believe in any of that whatsoever.
It's basicly just there because it's an easy way for people to scam the gullible.

These types of "services" only work on certain people. Usually the gullible, weak minded, distraught, insecure and desperate. A good palm/card reader or psychic can size these people up in the first few minutes just from reading their body language and asking a few general questions. Usually, the person reveals just enough info so the reader can fool that person into believing they know more about them then they should. Once you hit that spot in someone where you have them believing, it's a piece of cake to keep stringing them along at that point. You just simply play off their emotions and laugh all the way to the bank.

Yes. I believe.

I believe they are for the weak-minded.

P.S. I have an amusing story that is somewhat related. There was this dude that claimed he could manipulate your aura, and he was demonstrating this at some street show.

The person beside me asked: "Do you feel it? His powers seem very strong to me".
Me: "No, I don't feel a damn thing." (without the "damn" as I was only 12 at the time. ;))
Person beside me: "You don't feel anything at all?"
Me: "Like I said, I feel nothing, which shouldn't be a surprise."
Person beside me: "Oh you don't believe in his powers, do you?"
Me: "Uh, if I felt his powers then I'd believe him, but I feel nothing."
Person beside me: "Well, if you don't believe, you won't feel his powers."
Me: :confused:
