I need a Fake Psychic was created by Typhon Cedricson Scyldinga (Null507)
For my Skepical View of the Paranormal class project my group is doing a demonstration on cold warm and hot "psychic" readings. As part of this demonstration we want to fool the class into believing (for a few minutes) by performing a live reading. Unfortunately we know our class mates so even if we use the techniques we learned no one will believe for a second. Our Solution: get an Actor. As part of this project you will be trained to perform convincing psychic readings. This could be a useful RP skill for any Fortuneteller Characters. The demonstration will be on a Tuesday or Thursday, I have not been given the official date. Between 1100am and 1230pm.

I have not yet discussed payment with my group but if a reasonable request is made we will try to work with it.

The demonstration will be at Union County College Cranford Campus so those in the surrounding areas would be best.

My mother is actually a professional card/lipstick/palm/whatever reader... maybe you want her for this?

"Ok we can attack... but if we miss, we'll hit the villagers."
"I'm willing to take that chance!"

Things I am no longer allowed to do in an RPG :
31. The backup trap handler is not whoever has the most HP at the time.
73. Not allowed to name my cudgel Ceremonial Whoopass Stick.
74. My thief's battle cry is not "Run And Live"

The one question with using your mother for this is would she be willing to be outed as a charlatin in front of the 18 students in the class. The perks with using an actor as opposed to an actual psychic is that afterwards we can reveal it is a trick and hey, it's just a good actor, using a professional can lead to all sorts of unpleasentness. (this is also why the member of our group who used to travel with real gypsys and is a former sham-psychic won't do the readings, but is willing to train another to do so)

I'm not going to touch to subject of the authenticity of psychics instead I am simply going to say that the vast majority of people who claim psychic powers are frauds and this project is to demonstrate the tactics used by frauds how to avoid being deceived by a false psychic. Hence my need for an actor who can be trained to deceive my class to illustrate the potential for even a skeptic to be fooled by a non psychic

Wow I have my own advertisment even at KR.  I'd do this if it wasn't focusing on the debunking.  But I do wish you the best of luck in finding an actor.
