mediums are the biggest crock of 5hit ever. O.K. here’s the basic routine;
they ask if anyone in the audience has lost someone recently (notice that it isn’t something more specific like ‘last week’ or ‘two years ago’ or ‘on the 21st of May’) or something like ‘Is there a John/Steven/Plonker in the room’ they then (after some sap raises their hand) enquire ever so subtly as to whether it was a friend or family member that recently passed away. Then they start playing pot luck by asking ‘did the person’s name start with (insert letter here)’ and/or (if said sap does not then blurt out the name of the deceased) they start saying crap like ‘they are very happy here and want you to know that they are alright’. then badabing badaboom they move on to the next eligable sap, rinse, dry and repeat again.
