Back On TV!

Well those of you who have been following me on Twitter (@Roblupine) will know that I have already completed my first couple of shifts on PsychicworldTV Sky 885. The Channel designation was sold in October last year marking the end to Psychic First after a very shaky run in 2011 and is now run by a brand new company that are responsible for setting up several successful psychic shows the world over.

Lets hope the third time is the charm! This show has got a very different feel to it, and I don’t mind saying I felt a little like a fish out of water on Saturday as I will be mostly presenting the show when I’m on, as yet I’ll not be in a position to do private or skype readings. It feels a lot more like the early days of Psychic & Soul, in it’s first month the presenter would draw the viewers attention to an off-screen psychic service but also present a show that was educational and informative, and that was not a bad thing!

Last night I presented a show with Jerry Humphries taking skype calls, and he gave me some great content, including a 4 step plan to turn negativity into positive change. I found it thought provoking and discussion provoking as well as entertaining and enjoyable, and I am looking forward to future shows where we can really break the mould with never before seen content!

I don’t mind saying I was reluctant to come back to this kind of show, with the bad feeling that has been generated over the past few years, however this show feels fresh and new, I hope it’s agenda will continue in that direction!

I’ll next be on from 9pm tomorrow night, (Tuesday 31st) and I have several shows throughout February, so watch this space!

Future Predictions from the past!

At this time of year many psychics try to make their mark by publicly declaring a string of “Predictions” for the year ahead. Sometimes these are spot on, whereas other times they are hopelessly over-optimistic, (I’m still waiting for that Hover board!).Anyway

I was interested to read this article today on the BBC News site reporting about an article written back in 1900 that made predictions for the century that would follow using only knowledge of contemporary science. However rather than taking that science to the next logical step, the author made huge leaps in his conclusions And still got a lot spot on!

 Anyway here is the link to the article  Have a read and let me know what you think.

It leads me to wonder if we can use our knowledge of today’s science to see where we will go in the next 100 years?

What is a Psychic Entertainer?

A Happy new year to everyone who follows me! I have been negligent in updating this blog recently, mainly due to the heavy workload I always take on at the end of the year, however one of my new years resolutions is to post more and write more!

One of the things I always seem to have difficulty with, especially when approaching prospective clients is defining what it is I do.

In the past I have been booked as a magician only to find that the people booking me have assumed “magician” means children’s entertainer! I have also used the title “Mentalist” to describe what I do, however popular culture has given that title a different meaning in recent years leading to people believing I’m crimally insane, (I might be, but that’s another story!)

I now use the term “Psychic Entertainer”, and that pretty much sums me up- I use my psychic abilities to entertain! However a lot of the time people just don’t understand, mainly because the title isn’t heavily used.

Many of you have seen my work on psychic TV shows like “Psychic and Soul” or “Psychic First”, but that is really representative of a small portion of what I do.

A psychic entertainer can do readings, and over the years I have worked on Phone lines, done email readings and had tables at psychic events.  But I have also done readings in corporate environments, private parties and weddings where the atmosphere is very different.

The people who come to these events do not go specifically for a tarot reading, in fact nothing could be further from their mind! However I always seem to have a long queue and frequently prove to be the most popular attraction even though the readings are just quick five minute general readings.

The people that come to me at these events would not normally consider booking a psychic reading, have various levels of healthy scepticism and are frequently amazed at what I can see in them!

I am also hired for Dinners, and Wedding receptions to mingle with the crowd and demonstrate my abilities on a one to one basis. I will ask someone to think of a word and associate it with a personal experience, then I will reveal what I am getting from them before invariably discovering the word. I will make short term predictions about the spectators choices and actions over a 5 minute period and I will show them how they can tap into their own psychic potential and develop these experiences for themselves.

In December I was invited to do a couple of stage presentations of these abilities and I must admit I was a little unsure how they would be received, as I’m used to working in an intimate environment and making the experience a personal journey for the individual concerned. However I found these shows proved successful and enjoyable to do as well!

A Psychic Entertainer is not just someone who does in-depth readings, Is not a Medium, (At least not in my case) or a mysterious stranger in a tent saying “Cross my palm with silver!”

A Psychic Entertainer is not a magician, but what they do is magical!

A Psychic Entertainer takes what they can do and makes it entertaining to watch, creating a fun and relaxed atmosphere in an otherwise formal environment.

I am currently taking bookings for the spring, and will be happy to make your event both magical and entertaining!

All the best for 2012
