5 50/50 Predictions
These are predictions which can only go one of two ways. The
more such predictions the psychic makes, the more hits he is
bound to get.
6 Factual Predictions
These are simple, straightforward predictions about the
medium-term future which stand a reasonable chance of
coming true within the timescale mentioned.
“In the year ahead I see an accident involving you or a member of
your family, and broken or falling glass.”
“Within the next months, there will be an unexpected expenditure of
some importance.”
“… There will be a change which will affect your job or career.”
“You will be involved in a long journey, or a holiday, before the end of
the year.”
7 Unlikely Predictions
Once in a while, the psychic may also find it worthwhile to
deliberately make an Unlikely prediction.
If it fails, there is no harm done. If, by some outrageous fluke, it
happens to come true, it affords ample opportunities for glowing
PR.
“Within the next month or so you will hear from someone you haven’t
seen in quite a while.”
“In April you will hear news of an unexpected celebration.”
