Sure. I'll say once more that I don't pretend to have any magical
abilities or powers. This "hit" represents the sort of thing that
psychics do all the time (and they ignore misses), when they pretend
to contact departed loved ones. People like James Randi and Penn
Gillette could do a much better job of explaining (or doing) it, but
it's just playing the odds. If we were face-to-face, and I had a
couple minutes, I could throw out a bunch of other guesses, like "did
this person like water?" or "was there some court case involved?" and
watch for responses. If I were recording the whole thing to use later
(like the TV psychics), I could then edit out all the "no, that
doesn't apply" kind of responses and just keep the good ones. Even
people who were there, if they were inclined to magical thinking,
would likely believe that I'd done something extraordinary. Notice
how Graham couldn't get anything to fit on his chosen line, so he
resorted to fitting in bits from nearby lines, and using sounds-like
(foray = AAAA) to make a fit to something *completely unrelated* to
the question. I would really like to see someone with magic powers
(assuming they weren't somehow used against me), but it always seems
to come down to two things: delusion or fraud.
So,
Did this person like water?
Was there a court case?
I'm sensing the letter 'M'. Did this person's name, or the name of a
close associate, start with 'M'? (if not, maybe it turns out the clue
means the person was male, or knew someone who was).
Does the color blue mean anything here?
There was something odd about the person's left hand, I think. Does
that make sense?
