a psychic fraud page I'm working on
I'm starting work on a series of web pages detailing various psychic frauds. My first is on a particularly easy target, Uri Geller.
You can take a look at what I've got so far at http://www.astrosdaily.com/laurie/geller.html This is on another website I run, so don't be put off by the URL. It will change once I commit to do a real site and come up with a cool name for it. Right now, I'm thinking about calling it the "Psychic Frauds Network" Anway, I would appreciate input on how I can improve this page and also other frauds that could be covered. Obvious hacks like John Edward and Sylvia Browne come to mind. |

I'm all for anything that exposes psychics for the frauds they are.
I think the page is good, but IMO you should set it up as more of a timeline. Sort of like a mini-biography of their life. Begin with where and when they were born. Their educational background. When their first claims of psychic powers were. When they made certain prophetic claims to the public and just how far from accurate those prophecies were. I would also look into providing links to other sites that detail how "cold-reading" is done and explains just how old the practice is. |
