Almost one year later. Make the participants rewatch this and comment!

My fortune teller told me "You will win a billion dollars if you..." then didn't tell me the other half until i provided my social security number. Odd but, i will be rich soon...

The thing about tarot cards, or any sort of psychic reading, is that the cards help guide the conversation, but it's not magical. A good tarot reader will get you thinking on your own life and what direction you want to take it in, not try to "predict your future". Predicting the future is impossible, everyone knows that, but most psychics worth their salt are good at reading people, and in a very short time will tell people what they think they might need to hear.

I LOVE the fact that she says 'possible future'.

The moving to LA one applies to like 50% of people in LA

They tell the person something vague, something that can apply to many people. Derren Brown (a great mentalist) once did an experiment where he wrote down a description of 5 or so different people lives. What they didn't know is that each of these descriptions were exactly the same, and he has written something so vague that they turned it into something they thought was very personal.

She's not actually reading the cards. She is a medium, and she keeps saying "They're showing me..." so it's the spirits giving her messages, not the cards. Tarot cards would never be as specific as to mention Annie Hall, so this video is setting up expectations of Tarot Readers that would be impossible to meet, unless they were also mediums.

As an atheist skeptic myself, I do daily tarot card readings for myself as a means of looking further into my subconscious and analyzing my thoughts, fears, ideas, etc. They've given me revelations that I had never considered. And, it's amazing how accurate they are. No doubt that's because each card can carry numerous meanings depending on how you interpret them, but they have been a positive part of my morning ritual that I'm totally digging right now. I look forward to each session.

I really wanted Ned to come on and be all misleading like "Will I finally find a girlfriend this year?" and she all be like "Of course yes blah blah" and then Ned bursting out like "YOU FAKE I LOVE MY WIFE I HAVE A WIFE! MY WIFEEEEE!!" EDIT: This did not age well guys. Aged like milk 🥛

I want Andrew to go in there with a straight face the entire time. She'll have no facial expressions to work off of.

Being intuitive is not a spiritual power, but a human trait. She has learned to master her intuition, in a specific way.

asian guy turns up: "memoirs of a geisha" okkkk

You should do something when the fortune teller tells them a persons past, you secretly tell the fortune teller about there life to creep them out. PLEASE DO IT.

She starts off kind of vague then based off their reactions she fine tunes it.

Hey cold reading! Interesting how she told the nerdy girl that she needs to get out more, Eugene is an attractive guy who gets a lot of things about girls in his cards, as soon as the guy looks skeptical about her saying he'd date multiple women she backpedals. Thank you for playing, but this was entirely see-through.

Well, I was formerly a 'skeptic,' but then my friend gave me a tarot card reading. She got a lot right about how I was feeling at the time. The most freaky part was that she told me that something bad would happen sometime in the beginning of the next week. This was on a Friday. On Monday night, my dad passed away. She hasn't touched the cards since then.

Eugene is Korean. Geishas are Japanese. The casting would be unfortunate if he was put in a Japanese movie. I'm pretty sure the "psychic" just took from the fact he's Asian.

''Asian movie'' for the Asian guy, ''not enough fun'' for the girl in glasses, no make up and a button up shirt, ''Annie Hall'' for the guy who is literally wearing Woody Allen glasses, ''big move to the city'' for the most reserved, wholesome looking dude and ''you're just starting out in life'' for the young, bubbly girl who herself described herself as a ''hot mess''. She really must be magic!

you came to LA with a dream... YEAH GOOD JOB SO DID EVERY SINGLE PERSON WHO WENT TO LA

Telling people want they want to hear using stereotypes, educated guesses, and leading questions.

"This is possible future." So then you're a possible psychic. And those cards are possibly just ink on paper and nothing else.

deductive reasoning time: your future is unknown your future is manipulated by what you do what you believe manipulates what you do what you learn can manipulate what you believe therefore, your future is ultimately manipulated by what you learn therefore, if before this reading, what she said was their future, it is now ultimately manipulated this is master manipulation, not being psychic

As a tarot reader myself, I believe that tarot cards can’t really tell the future. I believe that they tell you what might happen based on your current life choices, thoughts, and inner thinking. Not the direct future, but options instead. Also, tarot is like a blunt way of getting an answer. It doesn’t really hide things from you. Also, as someone else said in the comments, she’s a medium, and is saying “they are showing me”. Now, she could be talking about the cards, but she’s also a medium, which could mean a higher self is telling her instead of the cards. This all just seem really sketchy, which I’m pretty sure it is. I’m sad that they put someone like her on this platform. But you know how it is on this channel.

2015: "memoirs of a geisha" eugene 2019: *comes out as gay*

I was raised in a spiritual family, and so I was raised knowing about and seeing Tarot readings. This seemed very, very fake most of the time...

I do a bit of tarot reading myself just casually and I feel it's more of a reflection on your life and the possible pathways your life can take rather than a future reading thing.

Meh, she's cold reading. Anyone with enough sense can do this.

My teacher once asked me "do you know your future??" I said "No" she then said "if you dont know your future how can you possibly imagine that a stranger with a deck of cards know it??" I live by her philosophy ever since.

Eugene was having none of this. When the woman said she thinks he'll settle down in the valley and he expressed disgust, she immediately backpedaled and said "i'm not sure what i'm seeing. it FEELS like that." She obviously is cold reading and is not even very good at it. Everything she says is based off of the other person's reaction. Everything is very vague and easy to guess from a quick conversation as well as applicable to most people. She tells them what she thinks they want to hear

i want that buzzfeed makes a video where there are differen kinds of psychic, mediums, readers go and read 1 person about about the same subject (personallity or future etc.) So we can see the different kinds of anwers there people give about the same subject of the same person. because i always feel a little bit skeptical when i see these type of videos.

She's not reading the cards, she's reading the people. Their outfit, their demeanors, their reactions, all kinds of subtle clues. Plus some guesses, cold reading, picking up on subtle feedback and misdirection. Notice how she tells wallflower girl to get out more and nerd guy he's gonna find a relationship? -"3 AM is your writing time!" "I'm usually asleep at 3 AM!" [Drops subject] Of course, it could always mean 3 AM >>should

I had my cards read and there were just too many specifics that the reader mentioned. She guessed my name, my mum's name, my dad's middle name. She talked about my mum's death (which she didn't know had happened) and really deep worries that I had but had never mentioned to anyone. I still to this day have no explanation for how she could've known the things she did.

A medium? Oh, right, she takes advantage of mourners. I understand.

I'm a huge skeptic, but I got my palm read in Jamaica on vacation. I gave the dude 20 bucks cash and just sat down and he read my hand. He was able to tell me my exact date of birth, AND my mothers. There is no way he could have attained such information because I didnt pay with debit, credit, etc and gave him no ID, or form of personal identification. I won't completely write off people who practice these arts, because some things just can't be debunked through deductive reasoning. I know some (perhaps like the woman in the video) are giving generalizations to people based on hints they pick up on prior to the reading, but I can't say it's not possible. I always tell people about my story, just as a reminder that there are spiritual unknowns out there. And just because they sound ludicrous doesn't necessarily make them untrue.

The fact that Zach just came out w his secret relationship and this was around a couple of months before he met her (he met her 2 & a half years ago I believe that’s what he said) so she was right ! 😭❤️

april 26, 2016: zach is still single af

WHEN SHE WAS TALKING ABOUT ZACH'S NEW LOVER, SHE EXPLAINED ME PERFECTLY AND IM SO EXCITED

I'm going to write a really long comment tearing all of these "predictions" apart. "This is a _possible_ future. The way I read is like you get information from 'higher' and you do with it what you choose to." -Immediately writes off any responsibility for incorrect predictions. Which doesn't make it a prediction, really. "They keep showing me Annie Hall..." -This is an easily drawn conclusion, considering he quite clearly styles himself to look like Woody Allen's character from Annie Hall. She probably paired that with an off-hand comment he made about romance or dating. An impressive "prediction," but still easy to fake. "You're going to be in a dramatic Asian film." -First of all, wow, way to pigeonhole the Asian guy. And secondly, he lives in Los Angeles, works for an internet show ,and dresses fashionably, obviously one of his interests would be the possibility of appearing in a successful feature film. "I feel like you moved to Los Angeles, and you were like 'oh my god, I'm doing it, and everyone said, 'are you sure you wanna go there, it's a dangerous place!'" -Most people who live in LA have moved there from elsewhere. Not an astounding revelation. -He's clearly a nervous guy, not too much of a jump to think he'd be nervous about moving to a new city. -EVERYONE'S friends and family pull that "Are you sure you want to move" schtick, because they CARE. Duh. "I see dancing, do you Zumba?" "No, I swing dance..." "OH I LOVE SWING DANCING." -The art of distraction. If she gets a "divination" wrong, she focuses on flattering the person in order to distract from her incorrect prediction. "You do handwritten hand-journaling..." -She works for Buzzfeed, probably majored in journalism or a related field, and most aspiring journalists keep handwritten journals. "They're saying you should get out more. You need to have more fun. More 'Sex in the City,' less 'work, homework, home.'" -She's wearing a plain button-up shirt, glasses, has unstyled hair, and does not wear makeup. Likely a work-minded person. Easy conclusion. "I see building up the home... in the valley, maybe..." "The valley, UGH..." "I'm not sure what I'm seeing, it just feels like that." -An easy excuse to hide a blunder. "You'll be dating more than one..." He makes an uncomfortable face "You don't usually do that, it's new to you." -Reading his expression in order to make up a new "prediction" about his personality. Easy enough if you're good at picking up on social queues. Her "predictions" were not remotely impressive. They're just generalizations and conclusions she came to from very basic observations she made of them. It's not that difficult. I still cannot comprehend why people buy into this stuff.

Tarot cards only work if you know the cards and have some kind of connection with them. Just my opinion and from my experience.

Zach, I'm a girl from the midwest, I'm coming for you lol

It is so obvious that this is complete bs considering the fact at the beginning the reader said "this is a possible future" anything you can possible imagine is a possible future....

Eugenes face when he said as a geshia omg I'm dying 😭

I'm a skeptic but I wanted to get my fortune read because it seemed fun. Tbh I was slightly disappointed. She got a few things correct, but most of it was rather vague easily applicable statements ie you will travel, you will move, you know an older woman who takes a lot of medication. :/ the worst thing was she got things that were completely off and I was insulted because they seemed stereotypical. She said I would excel in math and medical fields. I'm a photographer. I'm horrific at math and never had any interest in medical sciences. She later tried to pass it off that she was picking up energy from my roommates in the room (they were also Asian), but ALL of us were involved in creative fields. I did confirm I was going to go travel soon for a wedding and she said she sensed "water." And I told her I was going to Texas lmao(from CA). Kind of cringey.

I am a baby witch getting into tarot, and I read my sisters tarot, and she said “your just a confused little girl trying to act like your some magical fairy when in reality you are just a simple boring girl.” And I did not let that put me down and I still continue tarot with an open mind and lots of confidence!

"Is this my future?" "It's a possible future" Boy anything is a possible future.

It saddens me that people actually make a living scamming others with this nonsense, but as they say... there's a sucker born every minute.

She was right about Zach... he met Maggie not long after this.

Spiritual people 🤝🤝 non believers Calling this women a scammer

Says something *Reacts positively Yes i saw this was definitely going to happen. *Reacts negatively Maybe, it may happen, I'm not sure what Im seeing.

If apple had a car Would it have windows?

These people werent properly skeptics. They just were not.

i think the most important thing to remember is when she said "it's up to you what you do with it". Tarot card reading might not be supernatural, but sometimes it's what people need to hear to get hope, help them make up their minds about certain life decisions etc. Just my 2 cents. by the way, Eugene and Jen are hot.

I thought I had a fly or bug flying behind me but it was actually the music they played when they introduced the medium

People get so mad but like, even though its probably fake, its still fun to experience. Lighten up eh?

Watching this in 2020 and the medium said something to Eugene at 1:21 being Geisha, and in 2019 he came out as gay with full on performance and makeup.

Can we talk about how her comment about Eugene being in a geisha film is pretty similar to his coming out video??

I've been reading cards for a few years and this was bull. You never make generalizations or try and suggest what could happen. They're never as specific as they made them out to be. They say that she's been reading for a while but I don't buy that. If anything you say the meaning of the cards and what it could mean, like a new person coming into your life or that you need to be wary of a certain type of person. Cards would never say "oh yeah you're gonna be in memoirs of a geisha." That's not how they work.

LOL that thing with Eugene that is going to play a role in a japenese drama show came true at the k pop series

Memoirs of a Geisha . . . to an Asian dude . . . wowwwwwwwwwww, lady. Wowwwwww.

Next time have her do this without looking at them. She's using micro expressions

She makes cold readings from the start, broadly based on appearance, accents and reactions. Some card descriptions are plain wrong, although the part that The Devil card was not be feared is true (kudos for saying that to the viewers). All-in-all, a run-of-the-mill "psychic card reader" that is just a person reader, as far as I can tell. Not a tarot card reader, though.

BuzzFeed, she isn't a medium, she's clearly a large.

even if she doesnt really have psychic powers, she can probably read people based on the way they act, she could still be right and giving fairly accurate predictions based on revealing truths about people that they dont see themselves.

"The origin of Tarot is unknown" Completely untrue lol

I really want to know if the the readers really think they are make real predictions.

"has been a tarot card reader for over 16 years... She is also a psychic and a medium"... So a bullshit artist?

Is buzzfeed stupid? The origin of tarot cards is known

These skeptics weren't skeptical enough for me!! Although, it's hard to tell because they obviously want to be polite. ...but I would've been having none of it.

all i listened to was extremely vague ideas lmao

They are not skeptics. They may not be horrible gullible, but they did nothing to challenge the magician.

I really want to see Eugene as a geisha.. He would probably be beautiful XD

Eugene, all the ladies in the cards are your fangirls.

For those of you who are wondering, we do actually sort of know the origin of tarot cards. They originated in France sometimes around the 1500s as a tavern card game, similar to bridge. So in a sense, they were the first playing cards. In fact, if you look at the Minor Arcana, they represent exactly the basic deck of 52 cards we have today. Sure, the suits were different, and they had 4 face cards instead of 3, but it remains that the origins of tarot are not all that dubious. But as to how they were related to mysticism and divination, I have no idea.

"She is also a psychic and medium" "Do you Zumba?" "No, I swing dance" Nailed it.

Seriously? She asked questions based on the peoples appearances and gauged their reactions and continued the conversation according to that. I have gone to a number of tarot card readers, mediums, ect. and they all do the same thing. These people honestly believe they are communicating with spirits and stuff like that, but in reality they are just very responsive to the way people are acting.

Tbh once you know the skills they employ to read cards it's funny to watch people be really impressed and shocked. Like all of these observations are so incredibly general and are assumptions based on what can be easily told about you from a single look, and they'll generally be good things so you're less likely to try to see the holes in her theories. She may be good at reading and playing people, but that's all.

For Eugene’s reading he did become a geisha tho

Someone moved to LA with a dream... SHOCKER!

a year ago and poor Zach is still single AF :(

I did one today for the first time, super cool and accurate! You should never doubt something until you try it.

IM SO FIRST GUYS JUST IGNORE EVERYONE BELOW ME!

One time I was skeptic too, until somebody did the same with me... Nowadays I read cards. No joking.

Sooooo ..Eugen, the movie with the Geisha that he will be in... I feel like that could refer to his coming out video? Because he is dressed quite feminine in it for some scenes, and pale makeup and stuff?

Damn Zach prediction came true with his love life!!

"do you zumba?" "no i swing dance" *shoot i screwed up better change the subject* OH I LOVE SWING DANCING

If windows had cars would it have apples?

i actually know some of the cards because of the binding of isaac

This is not a very good tarot reading (in my opinion) I do tarot, though I am a novice, and most of the time I tell the client to think of a question or situation they need help with and then while they concentrate I have them shuffle, and then read a simple spread to them so it doesn't get all mixed up and lost in translation so to speak. This was literally as if she were just reading the meaning of each card to them and hoping something stuck

Watching skeptics getting a reading never gets old! I always loved watching the looks on people's faces when my mom would just seem to pull all of these little bits of information about their lives out of nowhere

EUGENE AS A GEISHA yes pls

Still waiting to see Eugene as a Geisha.

Tarot cards aren’t to tell the future there to tell your state of mind in the present past and future

Yea... Most of them were not at all skeptical. "I'm generally skeptical, but she shouldn't know some of those things". What? You mean those arbitrary, vague guesses? Such as "not your future, but *potential* future" meaning "I'm going to make a guess at your future". Statistically speaking, of course most random things are "potential futures". They're not skeptical. You want a skeptic to have their cards read, do me.

I love how this was made wayyyy beofre Eugene came Out so he was all “ohhhh the ladiessss are coming my wayyyyy”

This is so fun. Always great to get a reading done and find out what it's like for real!

Great video but they are not really reading tarot.. Trust me 😊

I've had a couple of readings. They're incredibly inaccurate.

"So is this my future?" "It's a possible future." Sooooo, basically, could happen, couldn't happen, who knows. But if it randomly does, it's because I was right. If it doesn't, it's because you chose a different path - duh.

Let's be real, the Try Guys need to re-watch this video and realize HOW AMAZING this reading was and just how much it foretold!!!

i mean.... eugene has been a geisha NOW in his coming out video
