Up until now Sally Morgan was no more than a small time psychic with big claims, who appeared on a small cable TV channel, watched by less than half a million people, but now she has moved onto ITV1, Terrestrial TV and has a much larger audience.

This worries us here at BadPsychics as we genuinely believed that TV stations were starting to wise up to the tricks of these people.

At least Channel 4 is being responsible with their new show made by Richard Dawkins (13th August, check it out).

Anyway back to Sally, some of you may have seen the first run of her series on ITV2, now any rational person with an ounce of intelligence will be able to see through her act as nothing more than cold reading and prior research, unfortunately there are those people out there who are taken in by this nonsense.

And it is these people specifically we want to reach, I emplore you to read our other articles on Sally, including the one where we forced her to remove various lies from her website.

Here is a clip of her with reality non-celebrity Brian Dowling.



Firstly I would like to apologise on behalf of the entire United Kingdom for Brian Dowling, our gay men are not all like that I promise, in fact we have some gay men who are not egotistical, over acting pond scum. Anywho.

I love the fact that Sally claims to be this international psychic, with a famous client list including Uma Thurman and Robert Deniro and all she can muster up for this reading is someone who appeared on Big Brother. I think the term is "Celebrity Psychic? My Arse"

Sally starts off the reading talking about money and spending, it should be made clear here that Brian spent over 3 months on a reality tv show where EVERYTHING he said and did was broadcast semi live on TV, hardly a difficult person to read is he. Also it is quite the stereotype that gay men like to dress well, look after themselves and like shopping, well the camp over acting ones anyway.

Sally then tells Brian he needs a puppy he can carry! What a ridiculous thing to say, again she is playing straight into his personality, and as such this is quite sad to watch.

She claims that he is quite vunerable in his private life, this is pure cold reading now, many extroverts act out in public to hide their insecurities, it is very much a defence mechanism, and is well understood by psychologists.

Much of what Sally says is infact future predictions, which of course as we all know is the safest form of psychic claptrap.

But in one of her claims she actually makes a mistake, she tells him that if he brings his public assertiveness to his private life then he will find someone, she then tells him to "control the wondering", she obviously thinks that as he is an outgoing, overly camp gay man, that he sleeps around, but then Brian reveals that he is not promiscious at all, of course this mistake is simply ignored and Sally carries on with her reading.

Sallys whole reading is basically telling Brian what he wants to hear, she uses simple cold reading techniques to reinforce what he says back to her.

And thats it, I am sorry but did i miss the demonstration of psychic ability?

After wring the above piece, a fellow admin of BadPsychics did some investigating and realised that despite the claims of the show, Sally had in fact given a reading to Brian before! See below for details of this latest scandal.

'Psychic' Sally is apparently not really giving us all the details behind her 'psychic abilities' On Wednesday 8th August 07 we were subjected treated to Sally giving Brian Dowling a 'reading'.

According to Brian's website, this was recorded in April 2007.
Before the reading, we are shown Sally being transported to the reading in a car. She is shown a photograph of Brian and asked if she new who he was, she replies "well, I know of him".

Well Sally, you actually know a little more than that don't you? You see Sally has met Brian before. Not just met him, she's given him a 'psychic' reading.

Sally's website is currently unavailable at the time of writing, but using the very useful Internet 'Wayback Machine' we are able to look at her 'Enews' section for February 2005.

That was two years ago.

Brian Dowlings own site www.briandowling.biz/ states exactly the same thing:

Quote:

The full 'reading' that Sally gave him can be read on Brians site under the 'Press' section.

In fact, if you wanted to do a good 'psychic reading' on Brian yourself, have a look at his Bio, his CV and his My-space page. There is little this man has not made public, everything down to his parents first names, his siblings names and his favourite colour. Combine this with Sally having met this man before and it doesn't take a huge amount of paranormal ability to come up with what little she did.

As its been stated before, if Sally Morgan is the 'Psychic to the Stars' how come she is giving z-list celebrities serial readings?

The Production Company should be ashamed of a program like this, they may have been able to rescue a little self respect if they had happened to mention that Morgan had previously given Dowling a reading. But then that would ruin the illusion a little wouldn't it, its not half as 'amazing' if you realise that they actually know each other..... (Mind you, saying he should buy a puppy is hardly displaying psychic powers is it?....)
