a film agent just a couple of

weeks before. I’m so happy, I burst

into tears. John then goes on to

share the names of my paternal

grandfather and my mother, and he

delivers some seemingly random

details and thoughts, which

actually meant

a lot to me,

about a close

friend who

had recently

passed away.

Anyone

can call

themselves a

psychic, and therearenoteststo

go into businessasone.Thereare

certain unofficialorganisations,

like the Forever FamilyFoundation,

that offer certifications,butthe

credentials aren’tuniform.Google

Henry, John or Wallace,andthe

search results will be split: for every

person singing their praises, there’s

another one calling BS. Like, did it

really take paranormal abilities to

divine that Tristan was a cheater?

But none of them seems

too bothered by it. Hell, they

sometimesenjoythechallenge.

‘A lotof peopleI readstartoffas

scepticsor nonbelievers,’Henry

says.‘Therecomesa pointin

worldviewbeingchanged.’

‘I thinkit’squitegoodwhen

someone’ssceptical,’says

Wallace,whofit in a reading

hairdresser,‘becauseit canhelp

peoplebreakfreeof badstuff.The

waytheworldis at themoment,it

givespeoplea lotof empowerment

to say,“Allright,fromnowonit’s

a goodlife.”’

I didn’t pay for my readings, so

I can’t say whether it was money

well spent, but I think the same

rule that applies to any major

purchase – diamonds, stilettos,

balayage – applies here: if you

have to choose between a psychic

readingor payingyourrent,pay

yourdamnrent.AndI haveto point
