Whoa, looks like we are accumulating a good amount of evidence for magic. Let’s write a book and make a fortune telling fortuness, like all the other scamsters.

Duncan, I did say they were very mild psychic powers….

‘Lo,

Glad you like the psychic pic. I certainly don’t profess to have any mystical powers, but my great aunts (on my father’s side) were witches from the East Anglian fens. When my dad’s sister was very young, my grandmother took her to see her witchy aunts: they told her the date she would get married, the name of her husband, the dates her children would be born and other important points in time. Apparently they all came true.

However, this story came from my dad, and he had a 30 year ‘joke’ going on with my mother that he was convinced he had one really ugly foot and one really beautiful one (which was only confessed to be nonsense recently), so I’m not sure I believe a word…

When on holiday in Turkey I had my fortune told by a man with a psychic rabbit. There were rolled up fortunes in a holder which the rabbit would hop past and then pick one out with its mouth. The one he picked for me said I would marry a rich man who was rather old. So far this hasn’t come come true… but it’s fine I only did it so I could pet the rabbit anyway!

My current flatmate Johnny said our keys might break in the front door lock because it’s so stiff - the very next day: my key broke in the lock.

Johnny was then commenting on how much he liked my little musical making machine that rachel bought me for my birthday. That night, we were watching a movie where the very same music machine featured quite prominently in the movie.

weird.

If, like most Potter fans, you both bought the latest HP book the day it came out, and presuming you both went to the same schools so had similiar levels of education. It’s not too much of a coincedence that you were reading the same chapter on the same night. (Especially if it was the night it was released, and it was chapter 1!)

I think the other two aren’t great example of phychic evidence either, one can work out roughly which area a particular letter is in the dictionary (”z” is near the end) and you don’t mention how many times you DONT get it right. Also, A Jazz Band? Playing Summertime!?!? Shocker!

Coincidentally, I predicted I’d get an email from the Laundry today…. and I did!

My best friend works in coco de mer! she serves celebrity types such as brad pitt and angelina jolie… and tricia! angelina jolie bought grape coloured bondage tape.

my friend also spied my brother in the shop, and called me to say so. i then rang him to ask why he was frequenting erotic emporium’s in covent garden, which made me look psychic, even though i’m not. giggle!
