		<description>No, it&#039;s not possible. Here is why: nobody can see the future. The past and future are related, but they are ever-changing. As soon as you predict something, it&#039;s gone. You&#039;ve altered the course of the future. If you were a psychic and had 100% accuracy in your predictions, and you predict I am going to die in a car accident tomorrow... you know what I&#039;m gonna do? I&#039;m gonna frickin&#039; stay home! Future prediction gone.

EDIT: For all intents and purposes, if a person says they can predict the future, but does not state their predictions (perhaps by keeping them in a sealed envelope), then there is no prediction. What good is a prediction that goes unsaid? It&#039;s garbage. What if I said &quot;I can become invisible just by snapping my fingers, but I&#039;m not going to show you?&quot; Would you believe that too?

EDIT: Here is the thing: psychics cannot see anything special. They have no special powers, and their only special ability is in conning people into thinking they have special powers. Psychics have a lot of tools in their arsenal to help them &quot;predict&quot; things about people. Sometimes they have their subjects fill out a questionnaire, sometimes it&#039;s based on personal observations, sometimes it&#039;s a combination of many things. 
For instance: a person appears to be of Irish-catholic heritage, based on their physical characteristics, their name, and the medallion of a Saint around their neck. Based on that, you can come up with a lot of very-likely names for people who are in their life: Mary, Mary Margaret, Erin, Daniel, Michael, etc. And people who believe in psychics are often forgiving when it comes to failed guesswork. So you say &quot;ok, I&#039;m seeing something about a person with a name that begins with M... M... &quot;
And as the psychic repeats it, this gives the subject the chance to interject with a name by shouting out &quot;Mary?&quot; &quot;michael?&quot; or &quot;Emily?&quot;
There are tons of videos on YouTube exposing fraudulent psychics... and they&#039;re all fraudulent, even if they themselves don&#039;t realize they&#039;ve just developed a knack for guessing.</description>
