I believe New York requires all psychics to have signage disclosing that they are purely entertainment. But frankly I don’t understand how psychics stay in business. E.g. Davis square is a pretty trendy area in Somerville outside of Boston (supposedly reddit started there). Decently popular restaurants seem to get kicked out frequently from what I imagine is just hard competition. Yet somehow this small area houses TWO psychics, neither of which seem to ever have customers going in or out. I don’t get how they pay rent, unless they’re just money laundering fronts.
- narrator 7y agoThey hook someone with mental health problems, usually with a trust fund or a rich spouse, and then tell them they are all caused by past lives that need to be regressed to or chakras that need to be remotely cleared. They then charge for remote chakra clearing and past life regression and it goes on for years. The retail location is just to hook the whales and then the rest takes place over the phone or Skype usually.

And they've been around for a time now, I always think that theres no way they can be getting business, but it would seem that they do. A lot more people seem to buy into this nonsense than you'd think, for instance: if I go to meetup.com and restrict the search to groups that are within a 20 mile radius of me, there is not one, not two, but three entire meetup groups dedicated to "harnessing/practicing psychic ability"
