James Van Fraud

I have always (strongly disliked) James Van Praagh.
He's a bad actor. I can't believe he sold as many books as he has. Another Van Praagh hater has been trying to nail the door to his publisher shut for a while. He got a chance to take part in a test, unknown to Praagh. They had this guy, not a psychic, go in and do a reading on a woman that Praagh had just read. The results?
Nevertheless, I GOT THE SAME NUMBER OF HITS AS VAN PRAAGH! (I got 7 hits and 12 misses; he got 7 hits and 29 misses). Granted, my reading was not nearly as smooth as his, and it was much, much shorter because I ran out of things to say, but I even one-uped him by getting who it was who died, while he demanded to be told before the reading.
