Trance, or Trance Mediumship as it is known in the psychic industry, is the act of a medium giving their mind over to one of their spirit guides. The spirit guide conveys the message they wish through the physical being of the psychic medium. It is the oldest form of Spirit communication and goes back thousands of years to ancient tribal people, and was used by the Shiman (medicine man) and other religious figures with paranormal knowledge. The term trance comes from the latin word “transitus” which means a passage from one state to another. Although more “hidden” in recent centuries, and practiced behind closed doors at seances, this ancient practice is becoming more and more visible in the 21st Century as society is more open and willing to access their higher power. Many people may believe that Trance is like possession, but this is very much not the case! It is an open and trustful relationship between the medium and the spirit guide which is willingly sought into and the medium always has control over what’s happening. When accessing a trance state, the medium will experience some marked changes in their body including a deeper, unwaverable focus to their spirit guides, a slower heartbeat, lower body temperature, deeper breathing and a change in brain patterns (as proven in studies). When speaking you may notice a change in their voice and physical appearance, which is very interesting for anyone watching! Once in the trance, the medium will pass messages through to the subject from the spirit guide. A medium may just have one, or a number of spirit guides that they draw upon to transfer these messages over. Messages can be from a loved one passed, inspirational messages or words of wisdom which will be relevant to their current life. These messages are always conveyed exactly how spirit wants them to be revealed, and thus ensures the purity of the message in it’s unaltered form. Exceptional Trance Mediums are hard to come by and so we are truly delighted to have a Trance Medium with us here at Number 1 Psychic Entertainment. Colin is a fourth generation medium all from his mother’s side of the family and has travelled the world with his skills. You can read more about Colin here.

Fortune telling goes way back further than the romani gypsy image that we sometimes refer to as a “fortune teller” today. In fact, evidence indicates that fortune telling in one form or another was practiced in ancient Egypt, China, Chaldea (modern day Southern Iraq) and Babylon (an ancient town from over 4,000 years ago, ruins of which are located in modern day Iraq), as long ago as 4,000 bce. In ancient egypt, Oneiromancy (from the two Greek words Greek όνειροϛ oneiros, dream and μαντεία manteia, prophecy), meaning prophetic dream, was relied upon to predict the future. Ancient egyptians also believed dreams were like oracles, bringing messages from the gods. It is known that they used to “incubate”, or induce dreams to gain even more information. The dreamer may feel as though they’re being transported to another time or place, providing divine information upon their return. In ancient Mayan culture (between 900bc and 900ad), astrology and mathematics were used to make predictions of the future. For example, the Mayans were the ones who predicted the world would end in 2012 (which of course turned out to be untrue luckily!) In 1555, french astrologer Nostradamus, known for his book “Les Prophéties”, a collection of prophetic poems written in 1555, made some chilling predictions which have turned out to be true, including the French revolution, the development of the atomic bomb and even the 911 terrorist attacks. In China, fortune telling was, and still remains, an important aspect of society in divining the future. During the Ming Dynasty (from 1368 to 1644), we see evidence of fortune tellers in literary works. Fortune tellers would travel on foot, walking street by street carrying signs showing people their offerings, or set up booths at temples and at city entrances. In modern day China, fortune tellers are a respected part of social and business culture - they take on the role equivalent to business consultant or psychotherapist in Western society. One of the oldest, most recognised fortune tellers is Marie Anne Lenormand, who in 1786, at 14 years old, ran away from the convent school where she was raised to go to Paris, learning the art of cartomancy (fortune telling using a desk of cards). Here she worked for 40 years as a fortune teller, advising Napoleon’s wife and other important figures of the time. In more modern times, over the last few centuries, we often associate fortune telling with romani gypsies. It is widely believed that Roma women are some of the most outstanding fortune tellers. The history of romani gypsies as fortune tellers is thought to have formed from the fact that as a community, they’ve never associated themselves with a particular national identity or homeland, meaning they’ve often been displaced in society. Modern day female romani psychics can often be found in large cities, most commonly in the USA, operating from street level parlors. In today’s world, the term “fortune telling” refers to any act of divination, or predicting of someone’s future, that one may perform using tarot cards, a crystal ball, through palmistry, and many other forms and tools.

Everyone is psychic to some degree. But some of us, those who are known as psychics, are so in tune with the energy around them that they can read a person’s fortunes with a simple flicker of a card or gaze into a ball. These people, who would have been burned at the stake for being called witches 600 years ago, today live in freedom to share their gifts with the world. The core tool that a psychic uses when sitting down to do a reading for a keen customer is an unwaverable connection to their spirit guides. These spirit guides (a disincarnate spirit to act as a guide or protector to a living incarnated human being) are who are called upon every day to provide intelligence and help psychics navigate the energy that’s coming up when doing a reading. Whether reading with tarot cards, runes, palmistry or a crystal ball, these spirit guides are always present, sending helpful messages, signs and synchronicities. Do you have a lucky number which always seems to show up in random situations when you need a little support? For example at a job interview or when visiting a relative in hospital. Or have you ever had a song in your head all day, and when you get in your car to go home after work, the song you’ve been thinking of comes on the radio? These are the work of YOUR spirit guides. These spirit guides hold more information than we do, are wiser and have a greater understanding of our lives and purpose. An excellent psychic will always be looking to develop their psychic abilities through extensive spiritual work, for example through deep meditation, using their natural instincts and intuition whenever possible and doing certain exercises in divination to tap into future knowledge. Psychics are also, almost 100% of the time, empaths. This means they’re able to pick up on the most subtle feelings and emotions which are presented to them when meeting new people. They just know how the people around them are feeling without them having to say a word. Which of course helps with providing an accurate reading. But don’t be fooled! There’s a massive difference in psychic abilities and it is obvious those who are genuinely dedicated to their craft. At Number 1 Psychic Entertainment each of our psychics are hand picked for their exceptional skill, ability and professionalism. Each one is personally recommended to provide an outstanding service to create a dazzling and inspiring day. You can rest assured that your psychic entertainer is the real deal.

We are approaching the end of the year, and on a personal note, I am excitedly looking forward to Christmas! I love having the family gathered round, Christmas tree lit up and decorations brightening up the house, the warm cosiness when you come in from the cold, the mince pies, the luxury of no work, and sitting snugly in front of the television with a glass of my favourite tipple, watching a feelgood movie with children happily engrossed nearby with the presents they have been so hoping for. Many people however at this time of year are single, or no longer have the comfort of a family around them, and wonder what life will bring in the forthcoming year. Brexit this year, seems to have so many of us wondering how leaving Europe will affect our jobs, and worry about finances is big on peoples' minds. Will my jobs be secure? Is my idea of running the small business I always dreamed a good idea or pie in the sky? Do I have the skills to move from my present position to something completely different? Will I be single next year, or will the relationship blossom which I so yearn for? Am I ever going to meet Mr / Miss Right? At this time of year, many people and businesses alike choose to host Psychic parties, whereby a fortune teller, often dressed to theme in Gypsy, Peaky Blinders, Victorian, Ballroom attire, etc, (although we do also have an actual real Romany gypsy if you prefer), will come to your home or office / place of business, and for a minimum of 4 or 5 people up to a few hundred, can offer entertaining and uplifting genuine psychic readings, using tarot, crystal ball, rune readings, pendulums, tea-leaf readings, and mediumship, to complement your Christmas and New Year Parties.

Most people have some psychic ability, and intuition is the foundation for psychic ability. If you have experienced any of the following then you might be a Psychic: You get gut feelings about things which help you to make decisions and which later turn out to be based on things you could never have known. You know exactly what someone is going to say next. You pick up on others thoughts and intentions without them saying a word. You know someone is going to ring or is thinking of you before they contact you. You find yourself saying things about the future without even knowing why you are saying them. You feel a strong connection to your pets and can sometimes sense information from them. You receive visions in the dream state or in daydreaming about events you have no awareness of. You can see others' energy fields around them. You feel others' pain as if it were happening to you. You can find lost objects through intuition. You can sense spiritual presences. You hear high pitched noises that others cannot hear. Your presence, or when you touch others has a remarkable healing effect upon them. If you experience any of these things, you may have a natural ability that could be developed. Contact us now to discover how one of our Psychic Development workshops could develop your pre-existing ability and give you amazing abilities to help others and see into their past, present or future!

How do psychic readings work, and what are the differences between the different types of readings available? The psychiatrist and psychoanalyst Carl Jung coined the term synchronicity to describe meaningful coincidences that can occur in our lives, where the universe seems to be giving us the answers to our inner questions. He went on to believe that synchronicity can explain many things, and even used astrology as a tool in understanding the issues of his patients. He remains one of the most respected "establishment" figures ever to have believed in astrology and the paranormal. He believed that events occurring elsewhere in the universe at the moment of birth, the planetary positions and alignments, can be used to understand a person's essence, because the person is infused with the same energy that was present in the universe when their soul entered into this dimension. But synchronicity can be used to explain much more than astrology. There is a theory in Quantum Physics that there is one consciousness field in the universe that links us all together, and that time and space do not exist in the way that humans perceive them. The past , present and future are in some incredible way, happening at the same time, simultaneously. In some way, every event that happens in the universe is inter-connected to every other event. The scientific principle behind any psychic reading, whether it is a tarot reading, clairvoyance, runes, crystal ball or pendulum, is that a psychic can tap into the single consciousness field where everything connects, and that the cards shuffled by the questioner will not be random but relevant to their situation due to the the fact that everything around us is a reflection of some aspect of ourselves.. A psychic can use their tools based on this principle, and then using their developed psychic abilities, access a timeless consciousness field to perceive anything from a questioner's past lives, to how their career will progress or how many children they will have. While the many forms of psychic reading have a lot in common, there are some key differences. Here is a handy guide to what is unique about each form of divination, which may help you making an informed choice when booking one of our readers for an event : Fortune Telling - This is a generic term used to describe the ability to see future events and to give an idea of the details and timing for sequences of events. This term is usually associated with Gypsy fortune tellers who can read your future with the tarot cards, crystal ball, rune stones, astrology, aura reading or palm reading. Psychic - This is a person who can sense, perceive and interpret your energy either with the use of tools such as cards or just through their enhanced intuition. We are all psychic to a degree, but a professional psychic can use their enhanced intuition to guide and help others. Being psychic does not necessarily mean that they can connect to loved ones in spirit. Mediumship - This is the ability to connect to loved ones in spirit, or spirit guides. A medium is either trained or has had the ability to see or converse with spirit, usually from childhood ,and can see and describe spirit and pass messages to the living using this ability. Each medium will have their own set of strengths and weaknesses and therefore, the ability can vary from one medium to another. Some mediums will receive images and pictures or words and some will have full blown conversation with those who have passed. Clairvoyance - This term means "clear seeing" and it is the gift of psychic sight. A clairvoyant will see an image or picture of a person or place or object which they will then describe to you. Clairvoyance also allows for the gift of seeing the future and specific future events. Clairaudience - This term is used to describe "clear hearing" the psychic will be able to receive voices and sounds which they can relate to the person receiving the reading. Their connection to spirit guides is often auditory and they "hear" messages to relay to the client throughout the reading. This ability is fairly rare. Scrying - This is an ancient form of divination where one gazes into an object such as a crystal ball and are able to see images of the past, present or future as a form of guidance or fortune telling. Some psychics use a bowl of water or a scrying mirror for this purpose. Palmistry - This is reading the future from the lines within the palm. Each line or feature of the palm will relate to a different aspect or area of one's life. You will be able to tell many things about a person's personality or how many children or major relationships etc. one will have through this method. Tea leaf reading - This is a technique where one can gain meanings from how the remaining tea leaves settle in the cup, forming shapes and patterns, and is similar to scrying in that the psychic uses the images as a springboard for their own psychic abilities to tune into the future of the questioner. Runes - Rune stones are an ancient Scandinavian form of divination using 22 symbols which are carved into stones or crystals. A rune reading is cast by laying out a few of the rune stones and then giving the interpretation/meaning. Tarot - This is an ancient form of divination using cards which are divided up by what is called Major and Minor Arcana. The cards themselves cover the full range of experiences of human life, and so can give a clear indication of what the questioner will experience in their future. Within each card, there are specific meanings and interpretations which vary according to when and and where the card arrives in a "spread" and what cards appear next to it. Many readers will use extra tarot cards within a "spread" or layout, to gain further clarity over the meaning of individual cards. This method of divination is the most common and probably the most popular of them all as it is so detailed. Whilst some tarot readers are primarily "technical readers", most will usually also be developed in psychic ability and the clair-senses, and so the reading will be based not only on the cards themselves but the spontaneous psychic insights of the reader. Whichever form of fortune teller you use, we guarantee that you will be delighted at the professionalism and talent of our extraordinary readers,.We are truly passionate about our work, and believe we have the most talented and professional team available!
