Apparently, all of them, according to their own descriptions.
Following a recent flurry of self-promotion among the psychic community, Australian Skeptics decided to look at a number of the key players (according to themselves) and see how they rate. And the result is shocking – they’re all the best!
We first did this some 18 years ago, but since then we’ve added a few more mystics, astrologers and psychics who give themselves a superlative score.
The criteria they use for such celebrity is not certain. Unless we have an amazing dead-heat, they can’t all be using the same measures.
We know it can’t be their predictive ability, because after a 12-year study published in The Skeptic magazine recently, we found that the average accuracy of Australian psychics was a disappointing 11% correct.
We do know that many psychics will admit that there are a lot of dodgy purveyors out there, though obviously not themselves, and presumably not the other bests.
But without an obvious scale, we’ll just have to go on their own say-so.
The following list has been gathered from mentions on various web pages and media appearances over the past few years. It doesn’t include those sites that come up advertising ‘Ring a Psychic’ lines, even though many of those claim to have the best psychics, albeit anonymously.
So here they are, in their own modest words:
- Debbie Malone – Australia’s best psychic; and Australia’s #1 Psychic Detective
- Psychic Vine – Australia’s best psychic predictions
- Gypsy Rose – Australia’s most trusted clairvoyant
- Milton Black – Australia’s leading astrologer and psychic
- Mitchell Coombes – Australia’s most trusted psychic medium
- Ezio and Michelle De Angelis – Australia’s no.1 psychic medium team
- Ezio De Angelis – the man they call Australia’s most accurate psychic medium
- Pam Bradbury – Sydney’s best psychic (not quite Australia, but she might be on the way up)
- Damian Marc – Sydney’s number one psychic medium (maybe he should talk to Pam Bradbury)
- Pandith Sanjay Ji – best astrologer Australia
- Tarun K. Tiwari – best astrology service in Australia
- Kaartik Gor – best astrologer in Perth, Australia
- David The Medium – internationally recognised as Australia’s most highly rated clairvoyant and spiritual medium
- Marina Dee – best psychic readings Melbourne
- Dee Gibson – Australia’s leading numerologist
- Ruthie Phillips – Australia’s top clairvoyant medium
- Francis Bevan – Australia’s most accurate clairvoyant, psychic and astrologer
- Amanda – Australia’s most popular phone psychic
- Deb Webber – Australia’s best and most famous psychic medium
- Caterina Ligato – Australia’s foremost psychic healer
- Cael O’Donnell – the latest contender, Australia’s number one medium, “simply the best”.
Needless to say, we cannot endorse any of them, not even the second best, nor Australia’s worst psychic, assuming there is one.
But there must be more. Readers are invited to add to the list, with citations please. Suggestions to editor@skeptics.com.au.
