Are you ready to embrace your inner psychic and celebrate the most paranormal of all holidays?
The first Sunday in August is dedicated to all things paranormal, mystical, and beyond our wildest dreams.
But why should we celebrate a day dedicated to psychics?
Grab your crystal ball and black cat tarot, because we’re about to dive into the mystical world of psychics and all the spookiness that comes with it!

The origin of this ghostly holiday

The origin of Psych Day is a magical mystery shrouded in even more mystery, much like the abilities of psychics themselves…
Some say it was founded by a group of psychics who were tired of being called frauds, while others claim it was a government conspiracy to keep us all in the dark about our true potential.
Either way, the first Sunday in August was chosen as the day to celebrate all things psychic, probably because August is the month with the highest levels of psychic energy according to …ehm psychic readings.

So what is a psychic?

According to popular belief, a psychic is a person with the ability to receive information from beyond the physical world, either through extrasensory perception or spiritual communication. They can predict the future, and see through illusions.
In mythology and culture, psychics have always played a big role, from the Oracle of Delphi to the Mystics of the East.

According to the dictionary, a psychic is someone who claims to have extrasensory abilities, such as clairvoyance, telepathy, or precognition.

According to science, there is no evidence to support the existence of psychic abilities. It’s debated that psychics are nothing more than highly imaginative individuals with a strong ability to read people and predict their actions based on past experiences and behavior patterns. Which is also known as cold-reading and just using internet search on clients who overshare on social media.

Psychics have played a significant role in mythology and culture throughout history.

Psychics were considered the wise oracles of ancient Greece, the seers of medieval times, and the spiritual advisors of the royal courts. Throughout the centuries, psychics have been both revered and reviled, with some seeing them as charlatans and others as spiritual leaders. But for those who believe, psychics are valuable sources of insight, guidance, and comfort.

So, what sets psychics apart from other forms of mental support?

Psychics claim to use their supernatural abilities to provide insight and advice, while therapists and counselors use evidence-based techniques to help people cope with their problems. Psychics also tend to focus on the supernatural and paranormal, while mental health professionals focus on the scientific and practical.
Mental help supporters want to help you find the answers inside you, while psychics think that “the truth is out there”.

Would you want to consult a psychic?

On the one hand, psychics can provide you with valuable insight and guidance, and can help you connect with the spirit world and loved ones who have passed on.
On the other hand, they can also be incredibly inaccurate, offer misleading advice, and cost you money and minutes of your life that you’ll never get back.
So, it’s up to you to decide whether the benefits outweigh the risks, or if you’re better off seeking help from a licensed mental health professional.

So, how do we prepare for Psych Day?

First, you’ll want to brush up on your psychic knowledge, so you can hold your own in conversations with other paranormal enthusiasts.
And remember to never leave your common sense at the door.

How to celebrate:

Why not try your hand at telekinesis and see if you can move objects with your mind, or try a séance to see if you can communicate with the beyond.
Try out a ouija board made popular by the same famous toy factory that taught us that friendship is magic and don’t forget to have some fun.

And for those who don’t believe in the paranormal, let’s just say, the skeptical mind is a terrible thing to waste.

How to become a psychic?

Congratulations! You’re broke, and you want to know how to become a psychic?
We didn’t need a crystal ball to see this coming!
You need to know these “psychic talents” to scam people out of their hard-earned money like a pro!

Learn the Art of Cold Reading
This involves asking vague questions and using the responses to make educated guesses about your subject. The key is to make the subject feel like you know everything about them, when in reality, you know nothing. It’s a beautiful dance of manipulation and deceit.
Learn the Art of Hot Reading
Before you even step foot into a psychic reading, make sure you do your homework. Research your subject beforehand, find their FriendBook profile and use that information to perform a hot reading. The more you know about them, the more accurate your predictions will seem!
Confirm Their Biases
Your subject likely has their own beliefs and biases. Use this to your advantage and make predictions that align with their expectations. This way, they’ll think that your psychic abilities are incredibly accurate.
Use Barnum Statements
Make broad and general statements that could apply to anyone. This way, your subject will interpret the statement in a way that makes it seem specifically relevant to them. It’s a win-win situation: you don’t have to put in any effort, and they’ll still think you’re amazing!
Guess
If all else fails, just guess. Make random predictions and then claim that they’re accurate. You can even use statistical tricks and probability to make your guesses seem more credible. Just don’t get caught.

Repeat these steps as often as you need to until you have a steady stream of income. Remember, the key to success as a psychic is to be a convincing liar and a master manipulator.

Now that you have the tools to become a psychic, it’s time to set the stage!
To create an atmosphere of mystery and intrigue, you’ll want to make your psychic reading space look like a classic over-the-top psychic practitioner’s lair.

Start by covering the walls in crushed velvet or purple curtains. Add a crystal ball or two, a tarot deck, and some incense to create an exotic and mystical atmosphere.
Consider adding some antique or faux antique furniture, like a wooden bookshelf filled with dusty tomes or an old grandfather clock that seems to tick to the beat of the beyond. A dimly lit room with flickering candles can create a sense of mystery, as well as a table draped in a cloth with mystical symbols.
The key is to create an environment that makes your subject feel like they’ve stepped into a world of magic and the paranormal.
With the right ambiance, you’ll be able to convince them of your abilities and rake in the cash in no time!

Note:
This tutorial was written with a heavy dose of sarcasm and irony, and the author does not condone the use of these tricks to scam people out of their money.
The use of psychological tricks to deceive people into thinking that you have psychic abilities and give them false hope and other misinformation is unethical and wrong.
