BUSTED: Psychic Char Margolis fail on WGN Morning News!

By on November 15, 2012

Editor’s Note: We will have more about Char Margolis and her similarities to Theresa Caputo – another fraud! Scifake will juxtapose (with video) Margolis and Caputo to demonstrate both fell from the same bullshit psychic tree.

Psychic Char Margolis claims she has special gifts to see spirits, read thoughts and predict the future. We think that about covers what goes wrong with this segment on WGN Morning News. Larry Potash and Robin Baumgarten really are “on” this particular day.

    Uh. No. If you can establish that your inclinations are correct 85% of the time, that is a huge success ratio of which youd be able to make considerable profits on. Gambles are based on, and indistinguishable from predictions…youre not right 85% of the time you pulled that arbitrary number out of your ass and got called on your bs by a financial services professional and are now proceeding to tantrum. Just stop lol.

    You are obviously a moron, but I will try again. I could predict within an hour what would be timing of the high and low each day on the S& P, and I could say approximately how many points it would be up. If you know the market, you know the market can move a lot in an hour. So say I said the high would be at 11am PST, and then it would drop 100 points.

    Well maybe the actual high time would be 11:15am, and if I shorted one contract at 11am at a price of 1400, but then it went up to 1405 before dropping 100 points, if I had a stop limit of 2 points, I would get stopped out and lose money, even thought anyone would have to agreemy prediction was correct.

    LOL. Funny guy. Cmon, its time you just say, “What I meant to say was” and simply rephrase or complete the outrageous statement that your “predictions are right 85% of the time.” Dead at that. Honestly convo is over in Finance when someone makes an abjectly ridiculous claim like that. Maybe you meant something else but cmon, that claim has huge implications. And Im suuuure you have a large following, sure you do.

    Psychics are vague in the information they provide out of respect and to give the sitter (person being read) the opportunity to be honest. Most of the time if the psychic “misses” it’s because the sitter is not being open and admitting the psychic is correct, or simply doesn’t know the “miss” is really a HIT.

    Complete bullocks.Psychics are able to tap into various outer fields and dimensions. They don’t have to ask that many questions, because the information comes to them from those fields and dimensions, usually without their doing and sometimes against their will.Furthermore, psychics don’t interact with spirits. Mediums do. She’s a fraud.

    It pisses me off that they call people close-minded when they call these psychics out on their mistakes. If anything, that’s open-mindedness. Being open-minded is about not believing everything just because it sounds good.

    Also, I like how she says an M or a J, then she says there’s a Mary, the anchor says that’s her daughter, and the ‘psychic’ says, “no, in the spirit world – your mother?” Then when the guy calls her out on her mistakes, she says, “but I got Mary and said it was her daughter.” No, you didn’t. Typical cold reading techniques you can learn from the internet.

    no, of course it means you are close minded … sure they might be frauds, but they also might not be. so if you are adamant they are frauds without knowing for sure, you are closed minded. things like this are difficult to prove and difficult to disprove… I don’t necessarily believe it, but I keep an open mind and say it is possible… same as when people see ghosts ..I have my doubts, but am willing to acknowledge it is possible.

    She is fake. The same technique she used in other shows. “Do you have anybody whose name starts with M or J?… Like Mary or Maria?…” A lot of women were and are named Maria, Mary. There îs a high chance to guess the “right” name. If you would not answer to her questions, she will not be able to read. Only lie will come out from her mouth. She îs a scam.

    At 2:29 our psychic says she successfully sensed that the “M” was the anchor’s daughter, when at 0:52 she was surprised Mary was a child. How long has she been trying to pass herself off as psychic? She doesn’t seem to have even practiced cold reading.

    I’ve only come across your reply now. Forgive my delay in answering. Ask a 100 people “Do you know anybody with a name beginning with the letter J or M?” The majority, in fact, in all probability, all of them will say “Yes.” James, John, Maria, Mark, Jane, Joan, June, Joy, Matthew, Michael, Joe and that’s just some of the first names not surnames. Lots of common names begin with these letters. It is very unlikely that someone doesn’t know at least one person with name beginning with M or J

    It’s more disrespectful to come onto another person’s show and try to deceive not only the hosts, but their whole audience. She was given a chance to prove her legitimacy (which she could have turned down), and she failed miserably. Oh but not only did she fail miserably, she tried to lie about it afterwards and call him names. What a guest!
