This video was originally entitled “gypsy guyshy whants a psychic reading for 20million” by the Gypsy teens who created it. We’re assuming when they typed guyshy that they mean gadje (nonGypsy) and they’re spelling it phonetically. This video is very “telling” as far as seeing how Gypsy fortune teller families view their clients and laugh at them behind their backs for falling for the spiritual work scam. We’re not the only ones who think this video is telling. It has received a lot of complaints from other Gypsy fortune teller families urging the creators to take it off of YouTube. By the time you’re viewing this video, we’re guessing they’ve removed it.

If they do remove it, we thought you’d like to see the comments made by other Gypsies on YouTube who were nervous that this video was arrogantly posted. Nice going whichever fortune teller’s kid posted this. You just made our job exposing your criminal ways a whole lot easier.

Here are some of the comments other Gypsies posted on YouTube in response to this video:

A member of the family of Delaware fortune teller Sandy Marks shows off their luxury vehicles and house, explaining what the “Gypsy good life” is all about. If I were one of Sandy’s clients whom she’s allegedly performing spiritual work for in secret, I might want to know who exactly is funding this “Gypsy good life”.

Just think, you’re a con artist looking to disguise your identity. Well, what better idea than take on the name of a FAMOUS ACTRESS! Seriously? How many brain cells were used to make that decision? I don’t know, maybe 2?

Or, better still, if you really want to go for believability, why not just take inspiration from a major retail clothing chain seen across the land and use that name? I mean, I’m sure it will just look like a coincidence that you’re named Ann Taylor, right?

Well, unfortunately, “Julia” decided to use a different alias now, and retired that pseudonym. So the judges are forced to give the award to “Ann Taylor” of Greenfield, Wisconsin!

Although, something tells us she was a shoe-in to win anyway.

The film does not say it believes the fourth nail story to be true, nor is the filmmaker looking to condone crime at all. On the contrary. That was just a creative way to title the film. Rather its message is to examine the millions of Rom globally who live in poverty and oppression. We point it out because it admits right in the trailer how Gypsy con artist families in America, many of whom are living in anything but poverty, teach each generation that they have a right to steal from “gadje” (nonGypsies) as a way of life.

Cold reading is the very clever technique at the heart of the Gypsy woman’s so-called “psychic powers”. It’s actually a very old parlor trick that many magicians can demonstrate. Cold reading is also, unfortunately, the hook that gets you caught up in this entire mess to begin with. It wasn’t until I’d learned about cold reading that I finally saw what was being done to me all along.

Cold reading is basically pretending to be able to know things about someone that no one could otherwise possibly know unless they were psychic. It works by throwing out a very general statement, but with an air of confidence that you’re really telling your victim you know something about them. What you do is keep throwing out generalized statements until one of them seems to ring true with the victim, and the victim attaches that statement to a specific person/event in their life, at which point you’ve registered a “hit”. Part of the trick is the acting on the Gypsy’s part. If she makes her psychic reading with an unwavering air of authority in her voice (and Gypsy women are academy award-winning actresses when it comes to this), she’s going to get you emotionally involved in this conversation so that you’re too in to it to realize her psychic statement was actually so generalized that it could apply to 90% of people out there. Also, Gypsy women are so experienced at this con that they know the right generalized things to say so it usually doesn’t take very long to start registering hits, nor do they make too many erroneous statements before they get them. That’s how it starts, but as you can guess by now, it’s in your reaction to her statements where things get interesting.

This is where the victim unwittingly plays a big part helping this Gypsy con artist with her own scam. The person takes the generalized statement (which they’re treating as a psychic insight because they’re in this Gypsy’s parlor for a supposed psychic experience) and they run it through their brain to try and find a match. And match they usually do since the statement was generalized. Only now, the victim has associated the statement with a real life event in their past that seems to match it. And they confuse the Gypsy fortune teller’s air of confidence as validation that she must be referring to “x” event in their life.

So, after she throws this statement out there, the Gypsy fortune teller carefully watches her victim’s reaction to see if she’s scored that “hit”. Again, the key to cold reading being effective is that you must throw something out there that the victim will then get emotionally involved with in the conversation. Once the victim feels emotional about the topic, they’re too involved in the conversation, too distracted, to see what’s really happening, especially if they’re not familiar with the scam.

For example, I could say to you, “You’re a good person, I can tell. And you always mean well to others. But other people don’t treat you as well as you treat them. They don’t treat with you respect. You always try hard, but so often it seems you come up short, through no fault of your own…” I might throw out some more generalizations, each time watching your facial and physical reactions to see if I scored a hit (after generations of doing this, Gypsy women are masters at reading body language since they have so much practice).

The victim then brings up the real event/person in their life that they think the Gypsy woman must be referring to, in order to acknowledge what she’s “seen” with her “powers”. Now this Gypsy, who’s an excellent listener from years of doing this, will remember many of the numerous details you give her — details you may not even totally remember having given her earlier because you’re emotionally hooked now on what big revelation she’s going to say next that’s going to fix the big problem in your life. She’ll use this information as a spring board to direct her next generalized statements, which she asserts are psychic vibrations the “spirits” are telling her about you.

At this point, you’re marveling at her ability. “I mean, she must be psychic, right? How can she know this about me? How could she know about that girl/guy that broke my heart if she’s not psychic?” Well, two ways — one, because she got to this point with your own help only you didn’t know it and, two, she started with some generalized statements that could apply to anyone who’s lived on this earth and has had the basic life experiences of love and pain and being hurt by people.

The more you get into it and start believing, the more she knows you’re hooked. At this point now, she’s going to try to get as much information out of you as possible, and then decide based on how you present yourself and how much you’ve bought into her scam and how bad you perceive your own problem to be if you’re a candidate for the big ticket item for this Gypsy — the classic “you’ve been cursed” scam, which goes a little something like this: “You’ve been cursed (or often it will be that your family was cursed from an earlier generation–so that it’s more believable to the victim), and because I do God’s work I need to use my powers to lift this curse off of you once and for all so that you can enjoy the life and love that God meant you to enjoy, the life that you was meant to have,” (Gypsy women are pretty bad at grammar, as I’m sure you know), “but that this darkness has kept from you. I’m going to reunite you with your love, this love that’s separated by this darkness. But I’m going to have to do some very special work and prayer on this in order to remove this darkness…”

And the scam begins.
