Five Tips for Choosing the Best Psychic in New York

Posted by Amos Fred on November 15th, 2019

If you’ve walked through New York City’s Maddison Square Garden and found loads of psychic posters, banners, stores, and calls to get a personalized reading, you are not alone. Finding a psychic in New York is easy. Maybe too easy. But not every one of them will be a genuine psychic. Some are cons and not out to help people but to make a quick buck.   

So, how do you find a legitimate New York psychic who is real and won’t waste your time and money?

Here are five tips to choose the best.

1.       Avoid cold psychic readings

A cold reading involves a person guessing stuff about the sitter by primarily observing their body language, asking vague questions, and using the answers to try and connect inaccurate circumstances together and present them as a reading, prediction, or analysis.

How to spot a cold psychic reading:

Cold readers start a session by asking the sitter to direct it.

They’ll invite you to talk about yourself and what you think is wrong or how things should be.

Then they fish for clues in your explanations, stating vague statements to manipulate you to continue feeding them with personal information they can regurgitate to you.

Let the psychic lead the session.

Genuine psychics also welcome sitters to ask questions as the session progresses. Not to use them to gain clues, but to relay the energy and messages they get.

2.       Watch out for people claiming to possess ultra-special ESP

Remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it likely is.

Even the best psychics in New York or L.A. do not claim to have superhuman extrasensory perception.

Ask what psychic techniques they use. Do they use palmistry, tarot cards, and/or astrology for example?

Do they practice both psychic readings and mediumship and is that combination what you are looking for? A psychic medium provides both intuitive predictions by tapping into your energy and aura as well as call up dead loved ones or relay messages from them for the living.

3.       Get word-of-mouth referrals

Don’t be surprised if people keep their psychic readings visits anonymous and even confidential. The best psychic in New York or elsewhere should assure your privacy.

But many people, especially family members, friends, and local pagan shops offer recommendations of genuine psychics they’ve worked with or have had a person in their circle work with the psychic.  

4.       Check their web footprint

Start at the Better Business Bureau (BBB) to be sure a psychic you are interested in contacting has not been accused of fortune-telling fraud like many are all over the U.S.

Professional psychics will a decent website, clearly indicating their location, contact details, their background, proof of experience, and social media channels that show proof of activity.

So check a psychic of interest online to see if their online footprint is indicative of a genuine service you can trust.

5.       Speak with a potential psychic on the phone. Not just email

You want a psychic you’ll be comfortable talking about personal matters with.

So instead of relegating all your chats through email, call their number. You’ll be able to tell of their demeanor from their voice and tone and how well the psychic’s customer service is.

What next?

With just these five tips, you can quickly be on your way to finding the best psychic in New York. You can avoid the scammers and learn how to take a burning issue forward.
